[HTCondor-users] Advice(s) on updating servers and clients from 7.8

[Xavier OUVRARD <xavier.ouvrard@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Since recently, I have been in charge of a small HTCondor cluster where 
servers are under 7.8.10 and nodes under client either in 7.8.10 for 
most of them, or in 8.6.8. The migration has been stopped at a point 
because the clients in 8.6.8 were not having Quill enabled by default, 
and that we rely on the Quill DB for a certain amount of tasks, such as 
keeping an history and allow users to define projects served through a 
dedicated web server.

We have recently noticed that submitting nodes in 8.6.8 does not have 
notification of users at the end of jobs available by default. I have to 
prepare the full update now.

Which points do you think I should care the most for this update (even 
to the latest version) ? I am of course going to do it first in a test 
environment.

Best regards,

Xavier
