TOPIC:

Good evening,

I've been trying to find a document with the best practices to use when patching my Xenpool. I'm running 6.5 and HALizard in a 2 node configuration,

I need to update the pool with SP1 for a few reasons and can't find a a guide that makes me completely comfortable, my understanding is that I should follow these steps.

1. Have backups.
2. Migrate all VMs from Master to Slave
3. Disable High Availability.
4. move the storage from Master to Slave, configure Iscsi on both host to manual mode, make master iscsi secondary, make slave iscsi primary
5. Update master.
6. Mmake sure master is still manual mode, start iscsi-ha, start ha-lizard make master primary, slave secondary.
7. Move all VMs to the master and then perform the same steps on the slave and reenable HA.
8. Exit manual mode on both hosts.

I appreciate any guidance anyone can provide.

Thank you.

The procedure is documented on the last page of our reference design (appendix b)
halizard.com/images/pdf/iscsi-ha%202-nod...0howto_1.5_final.pdf

Thank you, I feel pretty embarrassed I missed that. But thanks.
