To install Updates via XenCenter a Citrix license is required. You can install the SP1 via CLI.

Subject: [Xen-API] Can`t install SP1 via XenCenter

I`ve installed fresh XenServer (XenServer release 6.2.0-70446c) in XCP mode. When I trying to upload SP1 http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX139788 to this server via XenCenter it appears as disabled in server list. Why ?

is there any document describing the complete update process via CLI,
including the machines migration to allow update without downtime?

Thank you

About the process to update via CLI, it's shown on the Citrix web for
each patch, including additional information (i.e: when drivers are
affected). About the downtime, if you have a pool it would be possible,
if not, unless you have a balanced architecture for your services, and
depending on the patch you will need to restart the host (SP1 requires it).

FWIW I had the same issue, the pools that required it shows disabled indicating they could not be installed.

Initially it would not work at command line but I have a hunch it might be that I do not have DNS configured for the name resolution of the management interfaces in my local domain – perhaps that’s an issue.

At command line the update applied fine.

The instructions were a little vague in my opinion… the UUID should probably be referenced as “<UUID>” and step 4 doesn’t (imho) indicate that running it ONCE will apply to all pool members – I was prepared to run that bit multiple times until I noticed it was doing it for me automatically ☺

All good here though.
