Over the course of building out my XCP hosts I ended up with a 1.0.0. system and a 1.1 beta system. Obviously these don''t work together. My first reaction was to do a yum update and quickly learned that doesn''t work on XCP. What is the recommended way of upgrading an XCP host? Also my XCP 1.0.0 systems don''t have CD drives so if I go through the trouble of tearing them apart to update them to 1.1 beta will I have to do it again when 1.1 final comes out? Eventually I want the Hosts to boot via PXE but I don''t have time to go down that road right now unless someone has a really quick tutorial on how to do that. Should I downgrade the 1.1 beta system (which has a CD drive), upgrade the 1.0 systems via a network somehow or tear them apart and upgrade with a CDrom plugged in?

The only way I have been able to manage to do it is to download the ISO, burn up a disk and insert it into each host and wait for it to ask me if I want to upgrade. It would be nice if there were a yum repo setup for it, but I guess it ins''t a priority at this point.

My XCP hosts are just boxes with Power Supply''s, Motherboards and Hexicore CPUs. They currently have disk drives but my plan is to get rid of them as well. Maybe I should just jump straight to PXE booting.> > > Grant McWilliams > > http://grantmcwilliams.com/tech/virtualization > > >I _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
