XenServer - taking the plunge
-
@Dashrender Been there done that!
-
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.

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