4. (KVM on RHEL 6.0/6.1 only) If your existing CloudPlatform deployment includes one or more
clusters of KVM hosts running RHEL 6.0 or RHEL 6.1, you must first upgrade the operating
system version on those hosts before upgrading CloudPlatform itself.
Run the following commands on every KVM host.
a. Download the CloudPlatform 4.2.0 RHEL 6.3 binaries from https://www.citrix.com/English/ss/
downloads/.
b. Extract the binaries:
# cd /root
# tar xvf CloudPlatform-4.2.0-1-rhel6.3.tar.gz
c. Create a CloudPlatform 4.2 qemu repo:
# cd CloudPlatform-4.2.0-1-rhel6.3/6.3
# createrepo .
d. Prepare the yum repo for upgrade. Edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel63.repo. For example:
[upgrade]
name=rhel63
baseurl=url-of-your-rhel6.3-repo
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
[cloudstack]
name=cloudstack
baseurl=file:///root/CloudPlatform-4.2.0-1-rhel6.3/6.3
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
e. Upgrade the host operating system from RHEL 6.0 to 6.3:
yum upgrade
