citrixlinuxxenserver

Trying to get my XenServer to update, and want to upgrade it also to version 6.5. But cant figur out how. When i try to update using the XenCenter, i cant select the server itselfe when i get to that point?

Screeny of how far i got.

But i cant make up why i cant select the server that i want to update. i also try to put it in maintance mode, and also turn offline all the VM's

Any pointers i will be glad for.

I think you want the "upgrade" feature, not the "update" feature. Update would be for e.g. a hotfix for 6.2. To go from 6.2 to 6.5 use the Rolling Pool Upgrade approach instead. However, a quick look at The Google shows this is a process with many complexities (including what you are using for backing storage, NFS or SAN) so you might want to peruse the rolling upgrade procedure from Citrix before you dive in to it: http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/38322-102-714672/XenServer-6.5.0_Installation%20Guide.pdf.
