XenServer 7 has launched!

Did you migrate your VMs first? Let us know how it goes....
-
Are you able to perform the upgrade on live systems?
Now I wanna go home and test!
-
@Danp No. Just my home lab, and I have a backup.
-
@DustinB3403 Yes, on my home lab.
-
The root partition is now 18GB!
Damn!
Now I don't feel bad using that 32GB for my production system.

Upgrade process
-
Upgraded almost all my systems today
We released a new version of
xo-serverearlier (~12h ago) to enhance Dundee support.Also tested XO VM continuous replication every minute on Dundee Beta 3 last week, worked like a charm during all the tests (5 days). XenServer 6.5 failed after 15 min

Oh bother, will it even install on a 16GB stick? (The ones I currently have 6.5 running on.)

P.S. Very exciting!!!!

When you say
"The condition needed to do that is to have your local SR (created during the install of previous XS version) to be empty. This way, the XenServer 7 install could use this space for re-partinioning the whole drive in a proper way."
Is that also true if the local SR is not on the boot device?
For example how many of us have XS booting off USB but the local SR on a separate array?

I'm not sure. I discovered a lot about the upgrade process just today. I'd love to have more input/doc from Citrix before the D-day, but you know, it's hard to be in the plans of a big corp

I'm sure there will be a lot of testing here at ML.
My biggest "hope" is that it will allow me to live migrate to my test server. That will make things so much easier for me. But, that's just being selfish.

SMB support! About time. Only a couple weeks after i got 6.5sp1 installed on my 2 hosts. Burining to dvd now.
-
@momurda Your hosts have DVD drives? Are they from 2000? =P
-
18GB?....
Well, I guess I need to install onto a 32GB stick then.
-
@aaronstuder
The dvd is for my test lab! that is just an old i7 970 with 24gb ddr3, an old 40gb laptop hdd for OS and 2 2TB seagate drives for storage. I suppose i could have used a usb stick. -

I have this problem, I don't have a second XS to migrate to, so I need to do an inplace upgrade.
