So... I was able to use XenCenter to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.6 by modifying
test_repo(url) in prepare_host_upgrade.py.
I upgraded two hosts.. One host decided that the time it wanted to give up the
ghosts was after the upgrade (had underlying physical disk issues) . The other
host upgraded just fine, but networking was completely broken. I had to run
xe-reset-networking and put back all my bonds and vlans manually. Not to
mention, none of my host tweaks were preserved (multipath, extlinux.conf, etc).
Wasn''t sure if these are normal "issues". It''s
annoying.. but I can certainly deal with putting back my tweaks and etc.. but
loosing all my networking was an "ugh" moment. Had to do the drive of
shame to the datacenter because that host wasn''t connect to my IP KVM.
Any thoughts? Just trying to be more prepared for possible upgrade
issues/challenges in the future.
