XenServer 8 LTSR Updates

[Eric Rosenburg]

Hello.  I don't have internet access for my XenCenter to synchronize or to update.  Is there a location where I can download current XenServer 8 LTSR updates so that I can install via the "Select a supplemental pack from disk" option?  Thanks!

The best I can find is the link here, and when I follow to the download page, I don't see a Supplemental Pack available:  https://docs.xenserver.com/en-us/xencenter/current-release/install-supp-pack.html

Hello Eric,

Supplemental packs (including driver disks) are used to modify and extend the functionality of the XenServer host, by installing software into the control domain (dom0) , this is different from host updates. Currently, Internet access is a necessity for XenServer 8 updates. Rfer : https://docs.xenserver.com/en-us/xenserver/8/update/apply-updates-using-xc 

 

To provide update notifications, XenCenter requires internet access. If your XenCenter is behind a firewall, ensure that it has access to the updates.ops.xenserver.com domain. 

To receive the updates, your XenServer hosts require internet access. If your hosts are behind a firewall, ensure that they have access to subdomains of ops.xenserver.com.

However you should be able to use a proxy server and apply the updates. Refer : https://docs.xenserver.com/en-us/xenserver/8/update/apply-updates-using-xc#configure-updates-for-your-pool
 

(Optional) Under Proxy Server, specify a proxy to use when synchronizing with the update channel. This proxy server is used for communication between the host and the public CDN.
