• HPC Pack 2012 R2 Update 3 (build 4.5.5079.0) or with any previous QFEs installed.

• This update needs to be run on all head nodes, broker nodes, workstation nodes, compute nodes and clients
  
  Before applying the update, please check if HPC Pack 2012 R2 Update 3 is installed. The version number (in HPC Cluster Manager, click Help>About) should be 4.5.5079.0-4.5.5199.0. Please take all nodes offline and ensure all active jobs finished or canceled. If there are Azure nodes, please make sure they are stopped before applying this patch. After all active operations on the cluster have stopped, please back up the head node (or head nodes) and all HPC databases by using a backup method of your choice.
  
  Important:
  The upgrade package KB4505153 does not support uninstallation. After you upgrade, if you want to restore to HPC Pack 2012 R2 Update 3, you must completely uninstall the HPC Pack 2012 R2 Update 3 features from the head node computer and the other computers in your cluster, and reinstall HPC Pack 2012 R2 Update 3 and restore the data in the HPC databases.
  
  Applying the update
  
  To start the download, click the Download button next to the appropriate file (KB4505153-x64.exe for the 64-bit version, KB4505153-x86.exe for the 32-bit version) and then:
  
  1. Click Save to copy the download to your computer.
  2. Close any open HPC Cluster Manager or HPC Job Manager windows.
  Note: Any open instances of HPC Cluster Manager or HPC Job Manager may unexpectedly quit or show an error message during the update process if left open. This does not affect installation of the update.
  3. Run the download on the head node using an administrator account, and reboot the head node.
  Note: If you have high availability head nodes, run the fix on the active node, move the node to passive, and after failover occurs run the fix on the new active node. Do this for all head nodes in the cluster.
  4. Log on interactively, or use clusrun to deploy the fix to the compute nodes, broker nodes, unmanaged server nodes, and workstation nodes.
  To use clusrun to patch the QFE on the compute nodes, broker nodes, unmanaged server nodes, and workstation nodes:
        a. Copy the appropriate version of the update to a shared folder such as \\headnodename\HPCUpdates .
        b. 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\HPCUpdates\KB4505153-x64.exe -unattend -SystemReboot
        clusrun /nodegroup:BrokerNodes \\headnodname\HPCUpdates\KB4505153-x64.exe -unattend -SystemReboot
  Note: 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 or 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.
  Note: If the cluster administrator doesn’t have administrative privileges on workstation nodes and unmanaged server node, the clusrun utility may not be able to apply the update. In these cases the update should be performed by the administrator of the workstation and unmanaged servers.
        c .To update workstation nodes and unmanaged server nodes you may need to reboot.
  
  5. To update computers that run HPC Pack client applications apply the following actions:
        a. Stop any HPC client applications including HPC Job Manager and HPC Cluster Manager
        b. Run the update executable
        c. Reboot your client computer
