XenServer

Script for Patching XenServer 6.5

Here’s a little script that you can run at the dom0 console to automate loading patches on a fresh installation of XenServer 6.5 up to patch XS65E005. If they add more patches, just add more lines referencing the new patch name (e.g. XS65E006, etc) starting with the “wget command and ending with the “rm -f .xsupdate” command.
