An HPC Pack 2008 R2 / HPC Server 2008 R2 cluster
HPC Pack 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 must be installed

This hotfix need to be run on all nodes in the cluster with 64 or more cores, including Compute Nodes, Broker Nodes, Head Nodes, and Workstation Nodes.

To start the download, click the Download button and then:
1) Click Save to copy the download to your computer.
2) Run the download on the headnode.
Note: If you have a pair of HA headnodes, run the fix on the Active node and after failover occurs run the fix on the new Active node
3) Use the HPC Pack Node Template feature, or log on interactively, or use clusrun to to deploy the fix to the compute/broker/workstation nodes.
To use clusrun to deploy an HPC Pack 2008 R2 update on clusters that are running Service Pack 2, or higher:1.Copy the appropriate version of the update to a shared folder such as \\headnodename\SP2.2.In HPC Cluster Manager, view nodes by node group to identify a group of nodes that you want to update – for example, ComputeNodes. 3.Take the nodes in the node group offline. 4.Open an elevated command prompt window and type the appropriate clusrun command for the operating system of the patch, e.g.: clusrun /nodegroup:ComputeNodes \\headnodname\SP2\updatename.exe -unattend -SystemRebootNote: HPC Pack updates, other than Service Packs, do not get automatically applied when you add a new node to the cluster or re-image an existing node. You must either manually/clusrun apply the update after adding/reimaging a node or modify your node template to include a line to install the appropriate updates from a file share on your head node.
