Hotfix XS61E012 for XenServer 6.1.0

Citrix has released hotfix 12 (XS610E012) for XenServer 6.1.0 today.

This hotfix resolves the following issues:

  1. If a Virtual Machine (VM) running on a pool member is shut down when the XAPI service is not running, the associated Virtual Disks Images (VDIs) do not get detached.
  2. After shutting down a VM, attempts to immediately destroy a Virtual Block Device (VBD) attached to the VM will fail. This is due a race condition which marks the VBD as attached – even when the VM is shut down.
  3. When the Pool Master is unavailable, attempts to restart the XAPI service on a pool member can result in a failure to set up the management interface. Continue reading “Hotfix XS61E012 for XenServer 6.1.0”

Citrix Provisioning Services 6.1 hotfix packaging policy

Previously hotfixes for all Citrix Provisioning Services 6.1 components were delivered as loose binaries and that resulted in overhead for customers and required many manual steps to track and deploy the hotfixes correctly. To improve the customer experience, the Server and Console hotfixes will now be provided as an installation package only. The advantages of having an installer include:

  • Reducing manual tasks for deploying hotfix
  • Tracking what hotfixes are installed on the local machine

For the Target device, based on the customer feedback we will continue to only provide loose binaries as a flexible deployment option.
