# cat /etc/cloudstack-release
The output should be like the following:

integration.api.port to null. Then restart the Management Server.
For information about how to set integration.api.port, see “Setting Configuration Parameters” in the
Citrix CloudPlatform Administration Guide.

For instructions for upgrading XenServer software and applying hotfixes, see Section 9.16.2,

zone, if required.

Post-Upgrade Considerations
• Troubleshooting tip: If passwords which you know to be valid appear not to work after upgrade, or
other UI issues are seen, try clearing your browser cache and reloading the UI page.
• (VMware only) After upgrade, whenever you add a new VMware cluster to a zone that was created
with a previous version of CloudPlatform, the fields vCenter host, vCenter Username, vCenter
Password, and vCenter Datacenter are required. The Add Cluster dialog in the CloudPlatform user
interface incorrectly shows them as optional, and will allow you to proceed with adding the cluster
even though these important fields are blank. If you do not provide the values, you will see an error
message like "Your host and/or path is wrong. Make sure it's of the format http://hostname/path".
• We recommend you to use the following global configuration settings:
