Hi Joseph, (Sorry - was busy and didn't respond to your private email earlier.)
All releases of Grid Engine from us are compatible with each other, meaning that you can mix & match versions. You don't need to stop all running jobs if you know how to do it (but it is not an officially supported way - so use it at your own risk). - Disable queues temporarily to stop Grid Engine from dispatching new jobs - move old SGE binaries to a temp location - move in the new SGE binaries - Re-enable queues Then you can restart execd - and the old running jobs would then hook back up to the new execd automatically. * You may want to try it on just 1 node first before applying it cluster-wide... Precompiled binaries =============== We have created binary tarballs for Linux x86 & AMD64/x64, Solaris SPARC & x64, AIX (thanks to Gompute), Cygwin, but we are missing OSX. We have not further tested the GE 2011.11p1 binaries for compatibility with older versions, and that's why we didn't formally announce it. But besides the security bugs that were offered in a hot patch, most of the fixes are related to building from source, and thus you won't get much benefit from installing it (ie. no critical bugs in GE 2011.11 as far as we know).
