Upgrading an existing installation
Upgrading an existing installation is very simple. For a single CLC Server, the steps we recommend are:
- Make sure that nobody is using the server. A standard procedure would be to give users advance notice that the system will be unavailable for maintenance.
- Install the server in the same installation directory as the one already installed. All settings will be maintained. These maintained settings include the Data Locations, Import/Export directories, BLAST locations, Users and Groups, and External Application settings.
If you have a CLC job node setup, you will also need to upgrade the CLC Science Server software on each job node. Upgrading the software itself on each node is all you need to do. Configurations and plugins for job nodes are pushed to them by the master node.
