Radhika Nair commented on CLOUDSTACK-399: ----------------------------------------- Hi, Sorry, I am not in Bangalore to assist you today. I am on vacation from 21-27 October 2012 with intermittent access to Internet. I shall reply to your message when I log in next time. Kindly get in touch with Jessica Tomechak for CloudStack/CloudPlatform documentation requirements. -Radhika > Document vSphere / ESXi patch installation procedure > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-399 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-399 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Doc > Affects Versions: 4.0.0 > Reporter: Kirk Kosinski > Assignee: Radhika Nair > Priority: Minor > Labels: installguide > Fix For: 4.1.0 > > > Currently the installation guide has a section for patching/upgrading > XenServer hosts (Upgrading XenServer Versions). It would be good to have a > documented procedure for patching/upgrading vSphere as well. The following > procedure has been verified by QA. > 1. Unmanage the cluster in CloudStack. This can be done from the CloudStack > UI. > 2. Do the following 3 steps for each of the ESXi hosts (2.a followed by 2.b, > and 2.c) in the cluster: > 2.a. Move each of the ESXi hosts in the cluster to maintanance mode and > ensure all the VMs get migrated to other hosts in that cluster. If there is > only 1 host in that cluster, shutdown all VMs and move the host into > maintenance mode. > 2.b. Apply the patch on the ESXi host. Reboot the host if required. > 2.c. Move the host out of maintenance mode. > 3. Manage the cluster in CloudStack. This can be done from the CloudStack UI. > 4. Verify the host state is properly synchronized and updated in the > Cloudstack database (or via UI... state should be "Up"). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
