Xenserver 7: Cant Install Patch

I would try to remove it from the others. If it is a bad patch, you don't want to force it onto the one without it but rather remove it from the ones that have it.
Removing patches from XS is something of a pain in the rear IIRC. I was reading up on how to do this, and the summation was to let it stay there until a fix comes along rather than trying to remove it.

@DustinB3403 Judgment call on your part. Maybe call them and see if they have an ETA. Who knows how long that is going to take.
-
@wirestyle22 I wouldn't have a number to call as we don't have citrix support.

SAM, yes, the two server are identical, hardware wise. Same CPU's, same RAM, same mobo, everything. The only difference is the amount of HDD's installed and the type of arrays on them. I would not be opposed to removing the patch from the known good server, but as Dustin points out, it sounds like a PITA. Plus I dont want to risk hosing my good server. I guess it cant wait, but I would think before they would pull a buggy patch they would already have to fix in place first or atleast provide details on how to remove the patch safely.
-
It might have just been removed. If they found something critical, they might have pulled it quickly before having a plan.
-
I'm hoping they re-release it quickly. I have no idea what kind of turnaround they have.
-
@scottalanmiller and my luck they pulled it right when i would have tried to download it. SMH
-
So definitely sounds like a patch issue. That's crappy that they don't let you bypass that check to add to the pool.
Tagging @olivier in case he has any ideas.

I ended up doing it on my pool.
Not the patch itself, just the reference to it.
Worked fine.

@BRRABill may I ask how you did it?
-
This is the article I followed.
And it seems like maybe I did delete the patch itself. The patch FILE that is, not the installed files.

You can force host to go into pool.
-
New patch is out!
-
Not yet in the Citrix XML update
-
@olivier Yep. Had to manually download it and install with XC. :frowning2:
-
@Danp In general, it takes around 72h to have it in here. Feel free to wait to avoid manual install. There is nothing we could do about this.
-
@olivier NP... I know it's isn't within your control.
