of KVM hosts running RHEL 6.0 or RHEL 6.1, you must first upgrade the operating system version

Run the following commands on every KVM host.

# cd /root

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]
