Hi Alan,
Thanks for the attention on this guys, however I am still curious...
If the XenCenter wizard cannot be used to perform a rolling pool upgrade, how
does one do it?
you should be able to perform it with the good old way, upgrading the
master by evacuating vm running on it and then inserting the XCP 1.6 cd
and rebooting. The CD should detect the current installation and propose
to upgrade it.
Then you evacuate VMs on slave, reboot with CD, upgrade and go on with
this process.
Hope this helps,
Denis
Thanks,
Alan

It wasn't c complete copy, but we may have not removed entries that are
not applicable when going through the XS 6.1 notes.
I can see the following entries referring to rolling pool upgrade:

<li>If the Rolling Pool Upgrade Wizard discovers storage that is

using the storage). Users should either fix the access to the storage
repository or remove it from the XCP pool before restarting the wizard.

Which one(s) should be removed? From the thread it sounds like the last
one. If you let me know, I will take them out
The above changes should be all we need to make. Thanks Lars!
