NAME
condor_upgrade_check - HTCondor Manual

Check a current install of HTCondor for incompatibilites that may cause issues when upgrading to a new major version.

SYNOPSIS

condor_upgrade_check [--help]

condor_upgrade_check [--CE] [--all] [--ignore TAG {TAG...}] [--only TAG {TAG...}] [--tags] [--warnings] [--no-warnings] [--dump] [--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

condor_upgrade_check is a tool intended to be used by administrators before upgrading an HTCondor install to a new major version. This tool will perform various checks for the current installation against known incompatibilities introduced in the Feature series of HTCondor for a given major version. If a check fails, indicating the current install will have issues with an upgrade, then the tool will do its best to suggest a course of action to take.

condor_upgrade_check is intended to be ran on a per-host basis for upgrading a system. Since the CHTC recommends upgrading between major versions in steps (i.e. V23 -> V24 -> V25), the available checks change between major versions. New ones will be added and old ones removed.

Some checks ran by condor_upgrade_check are classified as warnings. These checks output warnings about incompatibilites that the tool is not capable of testing and thus give accurrate feedback. Warnings tend to unconditionally output information.

NOTE: Some checks ran by this tool require the tool to be ran as root. If this tool is executed with out root privileges or on a Windows host then any checks that require root will be skipped.
