Solved XenServer Failing to apply patch XS65E015

[DustinB3403]

So I'm attempting to apply patch XS65E015, and it fails the "patch precheck stage". For supposedly an incorrect version. See Below.

Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?

[DustinB3403]

The precheck patch is not in either my "pending patch folder" nor in the applied folder as shown below.

[DustinB3403]

Hrm.. but supposedly it does exist somewhere.... manually running

xe patch-upload -s <hostname> -u root -pw <password> file-name=<path_to_update_file>\XS65E015.xsupdate

Password and host information excluded on purpose...

Is the server in a pool? If so, are you running this on the pool master?

What happens if you manually apply the existing patch?

xe -s <hostname> -u root -pw <password> patch-pool-apply uuid=06416eb7-2621-4ebd-aa9c-f23b6a90a58d

[DustinB3403]

Sorry, non pool.

Just reading the wrong part of the instructions from citrix's site.

Running the correct command....

I get

 Unable to contact server. Please check server and port settings.

[DustinB3403]

Yet I've downloaded every other update without issue.

Post the results from running 'xe patch-list". Have you tried installing the update using XenCenter?

[DustinB3403]

We are on the public version so aren't licensed for the XenCenter Patcher, unless that's changed...

[Danp]

Yes, it has changed. Try it with XenCenter.

[DustinB3403]

Very well, will try now.

Didn't know that it changed.

[DustinB3403]

That's pretty nice that Citrix released the ability to apply patching from within XenCenter.

Just suspending some VM's at the moment.

[DustinB3403]

That fixed it Danp.

Thank you for telling me to check the XenCenter Installer.

[Danp]

You're welcome! Glad you got it working...

Modding to mark as a question that has been resolved.
