1169.0. "What is the latest patch for V2.1b?" by HGOVC::KENNETH () Wed Oct 16 1996 07:18

Hi,

I would like to know what is the latest patch for Polycenter Scheduler V2.1B?

There is a customer report that job is not distributed evenly to cluster 
member by Scheduler.  Jobs always distributed to the "default" node even
it has lowing rating.  Load balancing is truned on.

Since the customer is running V2.1B-2, I would like the customer install
the latest patch first.  I check our TIMA TOOLS, we can find a patch call
VSCHED_E07B021, but from TIMA STAR I saw VSCHED_E0903B021 and VSCHED_E07902.
Actually which patch is the latest or more stable?

By the way, anyone faced my problem before? 

Thanks for your help in advance.

Kenneth Leung

1169.1	make sure custom load balancing is not turned on	RUMOR::FALEK	ex-TU58 King	`Wed Oct 16 1996 12:51`	10
	They don't have "custom load balancing" turned on by any chance? That is activated by doing something like $ define/sys/exec nsched$custom_load_balance TRUE (see comments in scheduler$startup.com for details) In that case the default node spawns a customer supplied procedure to determine the specific node to run each job on. If there is an error running the customer supplied procedure, the job runs on the "default" node. (just something to check...)
1169.2	VSCHED_E09B021 or VSCHED_E0903B021?	HGOVC::KENNETH		`Mon Oct 28 1996 23:25`	13
	Hi, The customer has already truned on load balancing. But anyway, the server version is too old, V2.1b-2. So I would like to send the latest patch to the customer. I found VSCHED_E0903B021 and VSCHED_E09B021. Which one should I send to the customer? I found VSCHED_E09B021 has savesets A,B,C.. and VSCHED_E0903B021 only one saveset A. Thanks again for your help.

1169.3	both	CSC32::I_WALDO		`Wed Oct 30 1996 15:39`	1
	Both. VSCHED_E0903B021 is a patch kit for VSCHED_E09B021.
1169.4	NOT VSCHED_E0903B021	CSC32::WATERS	The Agony of Delete	`Mon Nov 04 1996 17:32`	6
	VSCHED_E09B021 is the latest ECO available. Engineering requested VSCHED_E0903B021 not be sent to customers unless it is a fix to specific problem addressed in VSCHED_E0903B021. Mark
1169.5	It's too late	HTSC19::KENNETH		`Mon Jan 20 1997 01:36`	10
	Hi Mark, It's too late, the customer has install both VSCHED_E09B021 and VSCHED_E0903B021. Is there any problem for VSCHED_E0903B021? Thanks, Kenneth Leung
1169.6	VSCHED_E0904B021	CSC32::WATERS	The Agony of Delete	`Tue Jan 28 1997 15:57`	4
	Maybe you should try to get VSCHED_E0904B021. Mark (send me mail)
1169.7	Scheduler V2.2 is shipping ... by MCS	HLFS00::ERIC_S	Eric Sonneveld MCS - B.O. IS Holland	`Thu Jan 30 1997 02:31`	11
	MCS told me they got V2.2 for Alpha as well as VAX. Don't know the status for internal/external distribution. let you know. The most importent difference is Alpha kit supports the callable interface and the Alpha kit supports OpenVMS V6.2 and V7.0 official (meaning scheduler V2.1 on Alpha is not supported ??) Btw I was hired recently by Ca to do an implementation of Scheduler on ALpha since CA7 does not run on alpha yet. They still shipped V2.1B-7 to the customer.... Eric
1169.8	updated in noted::polycenter	HLFS00::ERIC_S	Eric Sonneveld MCS - B.O. IS Holland	`Fri Jan 31 1997 01:38`	5
	Just read the update of all ex-polycenter products in the polycenter conference at NOTED There are three recent good articles about the status of the products Eric
