• Requirements
  • Surface up the list of all available updates applicable to XenServers hosts being managed by CloudStack and display them by means of APIs or on CloudStack UI dashboard so that admin can have the list of available updates and take appropriate action to install them manually.
• Non-requirements
  • CloudStack will only list the applicable updates and it is not responsible for applying the updates on the host.
• Configuration
  • There are two three global configuration parameters:
    • xen.update.url - URL to get latest Xenserver Updates. Default value for it is http://updates.xensource.com/XenServer/updates.xml;
    • update.check.interval (in minutes) - How frequently should CloudStack check for Xenserver Updates. By default CloudStack will check for new updates once a week.
    • host.updates.enable - To enable or disable the functionality based on admin demand.
• User permission
  • Root-Admin would have privilege to list the available updates.
