-  * The XCP project provides no official update repository.
+XCP is basically a completely open-source version of Citrix XenServer.
-    * There is a 'xcp' repo for 1.6.10, but it's not fully implemented.
-  * Protect your management network via an non-public routable address space and you greatly reduce your dom0 attack surface.
-  * Do not use the CentOS 5 repo to update XCP dom0.
-Update the kernel in 1.6.10:
+===== Updates =====
+Update using ''yum update''.  It's much better than the 'old days'!  Many, if not **most updates require a reboot**.
+:!: **Reboot the pool master first!**
 <file>
-yum --enablerepo xcp --nogpgcheck update
+yum update
 reboot
 </file>
-===== RAID =====
+===== Upgrades =====
+:!: **Upgrade the pool master first!**
+Upgrades are best done by **booting from the new ISO**.
+Updates are performed using ''yum''. Major upgrades are not.
+==== Remote Upgrade ====
