No, you'd only update your "distro" repository, #1 on the list. The other repositories are filled with OSCAR packages. > 2. Do I need to run the yume "prepare" or "export" commands??? (I've read > the yume man pages, but some of the steps seem already done automatically on > the oscar install, so it isn't clear what i need to do or not.) Depends on what you want to do. If you'll start the "install_cluster" wizard again, it will most probably take care of this and will fix the checksum of the repository. If you just want to quickly update something, you can of course run "yume --prepare" manually. > 3.

Update the image, that's the most important thing. Then you have two choices: - reinstall all nodes or - bring the cluster to "maintenance" mode, make sure all nodes are reachable, run "cexec yume -y update". > 5.

(am I answering my own question here??? ;) ) Yes, as long as the kernel boots your nodes, you don't need to care about it any more. > N.
