Introduction

Purpose

Currently if an admin wants to update the hosts connected to Cloudstack. he needs to search the released updates from a given source URL and check the updates as per the applicable XenServer version. Then admin needs to compare them with the already applied patches to find out the available updates. To reduce this effort we are adding this feature to Cloudstack.

This feature will list the available patches/hotfixes for hypervisors connected to Cloudstack and the Cloudstack admin will be able to see the available updates on Cloudstack UI, this is functional specification of feature "XS alert hotfix notification" which has Jira ID CSCLOUDSTACK-16206192
