I'm running xenserver 7.2 on a few M620 blade servers. I'm trying to apply XS72E004 and 005 patches. I go to the notification section and select Download/Install next to each patch. I have a pool created and if I leave the pool selected I can apply the update. I only want to patch each server one at a time though. When I try to select one server at a time though the patch is unavailable.

I tried putting the server in maintenance mode and that did not work. I tried downloading the iso and manually selecting it but not luck. Did Citrix change up the way patches are applied? I'd appreciate any suggestions or input.

  • I should mentioned that we upgraded from version 6.5 about 2 months ago. Everything has worked fine but this is the first time we're trying to patch since upgrading. – jrd1989 Sep 09 '17 at 17:41

I had the same problem.

You can try this solution: In XenCenter after download patch from Tools/Install update, before screen with install, kill XenCenter with TaskManager ( if You use cancel button, patches will be removed from storage). Patch will be uploaded to hdd of xenserver. Next from xenserver console list downloaded patches : xe update-list note patch uuid and use it in next commmand: xe update-apply host=XENHOSTNAME uuid=PATCH_UUID

  • I appreciate the response. Just so I understand, the update process is ultimately being carried out from the command line then and not through Xen Center, correct? – jrd1989 Sep 18 '17 at 13:16
