Does this support 8.1? #81

Closed jbuseman-eng closed 3 years ago

jbuseman-eng commented 3 years ago

I tried running the patcher on my XCP-ng pool master, but it gives the following output:

`Detected XenServer Version: 8.1.0

No Patches are currently installed.

Failed to read Auto-Exclusion List from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dalgibbard/citrix_xenserver_patcher/master/exclusions/XS81_excludes.py Check the URL is available, and connectivity is OK.

Error: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

NOTE: To proceed without downloading the Auto-Excludes file (not recommended), pass the "-E" flag.`

Does this mean the patcher doesn't support 8.1?

dalgibbard commented 3 years ago

It usually means an exclusion list just doesn't exist... But I also haven't updated/maintained this in a few years now.

My suggestion would be to run it with -E to see what it says after that, and run it on a not-important box to test!

hi @jbuseman-eng you don't need the patcher with xcp-ng, just do yum update on all pool members and reboot the master first, or use xenorchestra to update the pool - this tool is only for xenserver.

or use xenorchestra to update the pool - this tool is only for xenserver.

I'm not willing to pay for xenorchestra for my homelab and the premium trial expired so I can't update the pool anymore.

vmpr commented 3 years ago

you don't have to, use the compiled from sources version for free for your Home lab: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/from_the_sources.html it has all features enable and I use it at home since a long time, works good. at work we have the payed ones.

jbuseman-eng commented 3 years ago

I will build it then. I assumed the source was the same as the free version after the trial.

have fun with xoa from sources and you can close this issue now 👍
