Support for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

The 3D Graphics Pack supporting NVIDIA GRID GPUs.

This Service Pack delivers the following new functionality:

Customers wishing to install Service Pack 1 will need to do a fresh installation of XenServer 6.2.0, before installing Service Pack 1.

Customers who have previously installed the vGPU Tech Preview (XS62ETP001) on a host, cannot subsequently install Service Pack 1.

If customers have installed a hotfix of the form XS62Ennn, which has a sequence greater than XS62E013, they should also ensure to install the Service Pack and then install the corresponding hotfix for the Service Pack (of the form XS62ESP1nnn), in order to achieve the same patch level.

For more information, see the section Upgrading XenServer Tools in VMs later in this article. Customers should upgrade the XenServer Tools in each Windows VM.

After applying the Service Pack, customers will be notified that the XenServer Tools are out of date.

See CTX139791 – Driver Disks for XenServer 6.2.0 with XS62ESP1 for a list of the affected driver disks that are compatible with this Service Pack.

Customers who have installed device drivers should download and install the compatible versions before applying the Service Pack.

Failure to follow this sequence may result in pool members being unable to connect to the Pool Master until the Pool Master has been updated and rebooted. This happens automatically for users applying the Service Pack using the Install Update wizard in XenCenter, unless they choose to perform the post-update tasks manually.

Customers must ensure that the Pool Master is restarted before any of the pool members.

For more information, see Hotfix XS62ESP1001 - For XenServer 6.2.0 Service Pack 1.

Customers who wish to use XenCenter to install this Service Pack must use the compatible version of XenCenter.

Insufficient disk space on the dom0 filesystem can cause the Service Pack installation to fail with the error message: The uploaded patch file is invalid.

Before uploading and applying XS62ESP1, customers MUST ensure that the control domain (dom0) filesystem on EACH XenServer host to which the Service Pack will be applied, has at least 450 MB of free disk space.

Security hotfixes for XenServer v6.2.0 will be made available for customers who have not yet installed Service Pack 1 for a period of six months (until 16 June 2014). Installation of XS62ESP1 will be required for future functional hotfixes.

XenServer 6.2.0 Service Pack 1 (XS62ESP1) should be installed by all customers running XenServer 6.2.0.
