I built theses on a different machine and created a repo for this upgrade from 4.1.1 on an ubuntu 12.04 machine. The point I was trying to get across is that the docs say to put it in one place but the add host function looks for it in another. This is likely the reason we have seen a few messages in the past about vhd-util not getting put on the hosts and having to do that manually. I would say this is a documentation bug but was trying to verify if maybe it was more of a timing of when I did things. > > When CloudStack adds a Xen(Server/Project) host it copies these files > and tries to /opt/cloud/bin from [2]'s path.
