SP1 is here
Windows HPC 2008 SP1 (version 2.1.1703) shipped on July 7, 2009. I have installed it on several HPC clusters and have the following tips for anyone considering installing the patch.
Download the patch here.
Close all HPC management components and run the patch on your Head Node. You will be warned that the system may require a reboot. This is not entirely true. The system WILL REBOOT without any warning upon applying the patch.
To deploy the latest version of HPC bits to the Compute Nodes you must re-deploy them. For most installs, this means simply re-imaging them.
To verify that you are running a consistent HPC version on your cluster, use the Column Chooser in Node Management to add 'version' to your view. This is a sortable column.
Note: If you are monitoring your HPC cluster with System Center Operations Manager 2007, there is an upgraded management pack available as well. Download here.
