Installing the Hotfix
Customers should use either XenCenter or the CLI to install this update. Once the update has been installed, in order for it to take effect, the server must be restarted. As with any software update, please back up your data before applying this hotfix.
Installing the update using XenCenter
1. Download the update to a known location on a computer that has XenCenter installed.
2. In XenCenter, on the Tools menu, select Install New Update.
3. Select the servers you wish to update. Citrix advises customers to update all hosts in a pool within a short space of time. Running a mixed pool of updated and non-updated hosts for general operation is not supported. Click Next to proceed in the wizard.
4. Enter the path to browse to the downloaded update file. Click Next and the update will be uploaded to the pools and servers you chose to update.
5. Click Finish. (You will need to use manual mode as this update does not support automatic modes.) The update will now be applied to each server.
6. After the hotfix is installed on all servers then reboot each server in turn.
Installing the update using the off-host CLI
1. Download the hotfix to a known location on a computer that has the XenServer CLI installed.
2. Upload the hotfix to the pool or host you wish to apply it to:
xe -s
This causes the hotfix identifier to be printed to the screen:
B7616953-53E2-414E-B93A-EE817AC8655A
3. Apply the hotfix to the pool, specifying the UUID of the hotfix, as given by the upload command in the previous step:
xe -s
uuid=B7616953-53E2-414E-B93A-EE817AC8655A
4. In order to complete the application of the hotfix, restart each of the hosts in the pool in turn.
