Oh ok seems straight forward, I assume the kernel config remains the same? i.e kernel drivers specified on first install are still in the config. -----Original Message----- From: Petersson, Mats [mailto:Mats.Petersson@xxxxxxx] Sent: 14 May 2007 10:21 To: Ian Tobin; xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Upgrade Proceedure > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian Tobin [mailto:itobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 14 May 2007 10:13 > To: Petersson, Mats; xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Upgrade Proceedure > > Hi, > > Is there an uninstall script? You can do "make uninstall", but you need to have the "old" version of source-code on the target machine to do this. [Which is great for developers that use the a single machine for Xen-development and testing]. > And when you say tar up the > dist directory > is that from one of the servers that is running the latest release > already? I meant from the machine you build Xen from Sources on - if that's one of your servers or some other machine, I can't say. This is what I do: # cd $XEN_ROOT # make dist # tar cjf dist.tar.bz2 dist # scp dist.tar.bz2 some_machine:/tmp # ssh some_machine # cd tmp # rm -rf dist ## Remove the OLD dist directory, if there is one. # tar xjf dist.tar.bz2 # ./dist/install.sh # reboot # exit > > Thanks > > Ian > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Petersson, Mats [mailto:Mats.Petersson@xxxxxxx] > Sent: 14 May 2007 10:10 > To: Ian Tobin; xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Upgrade Proceedure > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: xen-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > [mailto:xen-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Ian Tobin > > Sent: 14 May 2007 09:27 > > To: xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Subject: [Xen-users] Upgrade Proceedure > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > We are looking to getting all our XEN boxes up to the latest > > release.
