2.2. Adding the Roll to a Running System

The Service Pack Roll can also be added to running frontend. Here's the procedure for an x86_64 cluster (for an i386 cluster, substitute x86_64 with i386).

# cd /tmp
# wget ftp://ftp.rocksclusters.org/pub/rocks/rocks-5.0/service-pack-5.0.3-1.x86_64.disk1.iso
# rocks add roll service-pack*iso
# rocks enable roll service-pack
# cd /home/install
# rocks-dist dist
# kroll service-pack > /tmp/service-pack-install.sh
# sh /tmp/service-pack-install.sh

Then, reboot your frontend:

# init 6

When the frontend reboots, the Service Pack Roll is now installed. There is no need to reinstall your compute nodes.
