21. (XenServer only) If needed, upgrade all Citrix XenServer hypervisor hosts in your cloud to
a version supported by CloudPlatform 4.2 and apply any required hotfixes. Instructions for
upgrading and applying hotfixes can be found in Section 4.4, “Upgrading and Hotfixing XenServer
Hypervisor Hosts”.
22. (VMware only) If your existing cloud includes any deployed data centers, you should set the global
configuration setting vmware.create.full.clone to false. Then restart the Management Server. For
information about how to set vmware.create.full.clone, see Section 5.5, “Setting Configuration
Parameters”. For information about how CloudPlatform supports full and linked clones, see
“Configuring Usage of Linked Clones on VMware” in the CloudPlatform Administration Guide.
