Is there a known/published method for mass upgrade ? I saw an experimental script in XS6.2 to do this. We are currently benchmarking XenServer6.2 tools on XCP1.1 / XCP1.6 and Xenserver 6.2. Will share the result if it creates some value. Sorry Andrew to hit reply to you instead reply all :( > > ~Andrew >
