I installed Xen server 6.2 and I am currently playing around with it. I managed to install 1 vm, and I have applied all hotfixes available up to the Service Pack 1. That specific patch gives me an error.
The command xe patch-list
shows the following:

This is the version of the installation:
LSB Version: :core-4.0-ia32:core-4.0-noarch
Distributor ID: XenServer
Description: XenServer release 6.2.0-70446c (xenenterprise)
Release: 6.2.0-70446c
Codename: xenenterprise
When I run xe patch-upload file-name=XS62ESP1.xsupdate
, I get the expected UUID
. Then when I run xe patch-pool-apply uuid=xxxxx
I receive the following error:
The patch precheck stage failed with an unknown error. See attached
info for more details. patch: 0850b186-4d47-11e3-a720-001b2151a503
(XS62ESP1) info: XenServer Tools ISO must be ejected from all running
VMs.
After a lot of searching I run the command xe vm-cd-eject --multiple
but I receive another error:
Operation could not be performed because the drive is empty vbd:
6028ca4a-ece6-dcea-0688-0e81594738e4
There are no vms running. I have restarted the host many times.
As always any help is appreciated.
Thanks

FWIW, I deleted the one VM I had running and tried the update again to no avail. I asked for help on the Citrix forums but the solutions they gave me did not help so I performed a clean install of Xen Server 6.2 and applied the SP1 hotfix right away. That worked. From there on I could install the rest of the fixes that pertain to SP1 only.
