Hi,

Has anyone managed to update/add doc for upgrading xenservers (like from 6.2 to 6.5) with pool HA configured ?

Hi Remi,
I am interested in the doc update as well.  Please include how to enable poolHA as part of the upgrade process.  I am assuming one must first upgrade to a version of ACS that supports it.

Carlos
