Now the final release of XenServer 5.5 is available for download (Â https://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/results.asp?productID=683148 with you MyCitrix account ) I had to upgrade my XenServer 5.5 beta 1 to this new release.
My first step was to download all iso files and XenCenter 5.5, the I began with and upgrade of XenCenter, and the problem I had once everything was install, that didn’t work… The XenCenter console disn’t show up, the I choose to uninstall everything and delete the folder in “c:\program files\Citrix\XenCenter” and proceed the setup again. It did the trick.

Here we go, Green Computing is coming ! Now Citrix give us the ability to switch off XenApp servers and switch it on only when the load on the power on server reach a limit. This is very very smart and I think this Power and Capacity Management for XenApp will be a success.

Here it is ! Full of promizes, and full of new options we are all waiting for. Let me tell you first, this is BETA release from Citrix, so don’t complain to me or to Citrix if you crash your production servers, you have to run test and wait for the final new release.
You can access the whole stuff from your MyCitrix account in Tech/Beta preview of XenServer. You have to download the two isos files, the proper license file and XenCenter (there is a new 5.5 version).

This video shows the way you have to follow to update your Citrix Edgesight 5.01 to 5.01 with SP1. You have to log in Windows with the database service account if possible because for a reason I haven’t understand yet, as I’m using a nlb IIS Cluster with nlb SQL Reporting Services and a SQL 2005 cluster database, I was not able to complete the installation of Edgesight 5.01 SP1. (Watch bellow the version you’ll get)
