## 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.
