 Then server 7.6 is out and available and I've updated numerous machines to it now and knock on wood I have a few more to do, but they all have went really well That's that's the good news now your mileage may vary you may have a different configuration than some of the ones I tried but even my home computer, which is this a Generic motherboard not enterprise level at all it worked fine with it And I'm now updated to the latest version and I did the in place not the ISO upgrade when I talk about that in a second a couple neat features they did add now you do have Built-in software raid support that it comes with the 7.6 So if you're running it on a system doesn't have hardware and you want to raid the boot device It's very easy to do because now it's built right in well set exactly built in I would say they added it back to the repositories one of the things that one Citrix was spending this People got used to was things being removed and What they've done is say well, it's all running Linux on the base. Why don't we just turn that feature on? So it's not like they reinvented raid. They just turned on this MDM ADM features in standard rate Now let's talk about the upgrade process a couple things first Someone said they think that the XCP and G process or the way that they do things is different Dramatically than Citrix or the release cycles faster and I'm gonna say they run in parity for the most part with the way Citrix releases so a little bit of familiarity with the project is going to be Citrix and XCP and G are both companies Creating their own spin on these end server source code so you have the upstream source code and That gets contributed back to for features and then they compile it Citrix attaches licenses when they compile it that don't enable features The folks at XCP and G give it all away because it is 100% open source Now the way you update a Zen server Is by downloading the ISO and you do an install over the top essentially and then it creates a backup So if everything went wrong, you can roll it back the other way to do it and this is the way I did mine This is the new thing from the XCP and G is yum If you're not familiar with yum update dash Y if you're in the red hat world That is similar to the Debian app to get updates So you're updating the system from the command line by logging into it So this is kind of convenient They have a complete guide for how to do this but the short of it is you have to get the key Updated and there's the check fingerprint for key add the key to the system You get the newest seven point six Repository and once you add the seven point six repository to your system from the command line You can this do you update reboot and now you're on seven point six But this does not create a full backup of your system So that could obviously create problems for you if the first some reason it downloaded the repos and it went wrong Then you could have a problem. That's just a fair warning You should have a backup of everything all the time. Just I try to really Beat that into people all the time Please have a backup because I had people messing out time that don't and I deal with a lot of customers that don't and I deal with a lot of IT people who I lost everything can you help me on Whatever server because I forgot to back up anything on it. Anyways, I won't rant too much about that But it did work and I've had no problems. It's pretty straightforward This is the long version of you know, if you want to know everything that's going on there The good news is this little short write-up that they have in their blog post Which I'll leave a link to below worked perfectly fine on every server that I've tested on your mileage may vary Use at your own risk and have everything backed up, but I have not had any problems now. Please note I went from seven point five to seven point six Right below before you just copy paste this into a prompt If you are upgrading from XCP and G seven point four, please read the guide for extra steps That's an important thing. Please, you know our TFM here and make sure you understand which version you're coming from But for me, I try to stay on a cutting edge that way I can keep testing things and making sure it works I just helped a person the other day that's still in the six series of the old Citrix And are trying to decide which way they're gonna do because it's kind of painful to go all the way from six to here There's some more changes at the make So if you can and it it may be better to stay on the cutting edge ones There's been very few problems at all that I've had there was there's some bugs They talked about that have been quash near for live transfers under heavy load They were able to produce a problem on but it wasn't consistent and it didn't result in any disasters It just failed to transfer a live VM Once in a while under a certain condition, but I tell you get in the forums report the bugs The team at XCP and G in their forums. They've been fast. They've been on it And I've been starting to because I'm bad about this sometimes Participate more in the forums myself besides just making videos about how to do things That way I can help contribute back as well because this is a great project I really am been behind on and or been staying behind it not behind I'm I'm running 7.6. I'm gonna say I'm pretty current anyways I'll leave links to all this so you can get upgrading with your system and You've got questions comments leave them below or join the forums If you have some flaw you found in the system, you know, go check the forums there Everyone's very active and very helpful in there
