Xenserver 7: Cant Install Patch
-
@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.

Always how it works

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.
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.
