        and of course I screwed up and choose the SD card for the VM storage - rebuilding again this time picking my RAID 10 for the VM storage. - it's almost done.

            lol at least it only took 5 mins to kick off the reinstall and about 10 for it fully finish.

                I'm going to have to jump on the Bandwagon now and get it on my spare server 🙂

                  OK XenCenter installed and pushing the SP1 to XS now.

                  Next will be updating XenCenter locally.

                    Boy this update is taking a while and seems to be providing nearly zero feedback. of course this is 'nix so I'm sure no feedback is the norm.

                      Ok that took nearly 10 mins, but I do finally have some feedback inside XC that shows progress on the upgrade.

                      And I just heard the server fans spin up, I have to assume it's rebooting.

                        OK built an on system ISO store - that was a bit of a pain in the ass.

                        used WinSCP to copy my Win2K12R2 ISO to the XS server.

                        Install Win2K12R2 now.

                          Used these instructions to create the ISO Store.

                            Same instructions I've used, and had others use.

                              XO makes it easy. You can just create one with their interface.

                                I suppose you could install the XO VM using a URL to pull the ISO for installation.
