To avoid updating XCP-specific RPMs from the CentOS repositories:

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}\t%{VENDOR}\n" | grep -v CentOS


and add all these XCP's packages into

/etc/yum.conf

...
exclude=lvm2
exclude=..
exclude...
e.t.c.


rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}\t%{VENDOR}\n" | grep -v CentOS | awk
'{split($0,array,"\t");print "exclude="array[1]"*"}'
