XenServer 6.2 upgrade SP1 not applicable issue

It may happen that you are unable to update to  SP1 for XenServer 6.2 either using CLI or XenCenter. It appears as if the update is not applicable , even though you know it is. XenServer build number: 70446c XenServer Version: 6.2 From the image you can see that after choosing the update my server shows grayed out as if the update is not applicable. In our case the issue was ,we had not assigned any license server to the XenServer. Once we assigned the license it worked and we were able to upgrade successfully. Hope this Helps.

iDRAC 7 Shows no Signal in Virtual Console Preview

Recently i logged on to iDRAC for one of our Dell R720 servers,however somehow the console redirection did not work at all. I kept on seeing No Signal on the Virtual console Preview. I tried Rebooting the server but that did not help. Finally i clicked on Reset iDRAC and this did the trick. It may take around 2 -5 minutes before you can access iDRAC page again. I had to power on the server through iDRAC before anything showed up on console. Hope this Helps.
