Re: Recommended Best way to Upgrade/Update Xen
[In reply to]

This is a good question to know. Much will depend on what you mean by
"Xen" and updating "Xen".
In my particular case, I run generic Distro-based Xen 3.0.x under CentOS
5.7, and will be upgrading to GITCO-based Xen 4.1.2. My upgrade steps are
Distribution Install:
# yum update
# yum groupinstall Xen
# vi /etc/grub.conf
# reboot
Upgrade install to 4.1.2:
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://www.gitco.de/repo/GITCO-XEN4.1.2_x86_64.repo
# rpm -e --nodeps libvirt.i386
# rpm -e --nodeps libvirt.x86_64
# rpm -e --nodeps libvirt-python
# yum update
# vi /etc/grub.conf
line of the active stanzas. Dell R610 with MegaRAID requires it.
# reboot
