Found this on the wiki. Worked like a champ. :-) Regarding Fix #1 (xapi_version_override): This doesn't seem to work with XCP 1.4.90 (but may work with later releases). For now, you need to do a binary patch of /opt/xensource/bin/xapi. Otherwise XenCenter will always recognize XCP as a very old XenServer release and this causes trouble in many situations.
To do the binary patch, do the following on every XCP 1.4.90 host: cd /opt/xensource/bin /etc/init.d/xapi stop cp -vp xapi xapi.original sed -i 's/1\.4\.90/6.0.99/g' xapi /etc/init.d/xapi start After re-connecting XenCenter to the XCP host, it will be identified as a XenServer 6.0 host, enabling all the wonderful modern features and fixing some strange behavior you may have encountered before patching. Btw., of course there is no 6.0.99 version of XenServer, but it should be the highest value the version identification of XenServer 6.0 should ever reach (unless there's a new service/feature pack or completely new version released), so it should be the best setting to get all features in XenCenter 6.0 for any 6.0-compatible XCP release. As mentioned above in the Fix #1 section, XenCenter will complain about the official XCP Xen Tools being outdated, since they also report 1.4.90 as version identification. Taking the fixes for XenTools as described above and modifying them for XCP 1.4.90, they now look like this: On each Linux guest with xe-guest-utilities (Xen Tools) installed: sed -i /usr/sbin/xe-update-guest-attrs -e 's/MajorVersion" "1"/MajorVersion" "6"/' sed -i /usr/sbin/xe-update-guest-attrs -e 's/MinorVersion" "4"/MinorVersion" "0"/' sed -i /usr/sbin/xe-update-guest-attrs -e 's/MicroVersion" "90"/MicroVersion" "99"/' # wait 2 minutes and check XenCenter again (or just execute /usr/sbin/xe-update-guest-attrs ) On each Windows guest with Xen Tools installed, modify the following registry values: Server 2003/XP - Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\XenTools Server 2008 64-bit - Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\XenTools Name Data (hex) MajorVersion 6 MicroVersion 0 MinorVersion 99 (Only decimal values shown here, Windows Registry will show both decimal and hex.) Then reboot the Windows guest or restart the 'Citrix Tools for Virtual Machine Service' service. Restarting XenTools on Windows command line (cmd) works like this: net stop xensvc net start xensvc
