Xenserver 5.5 released - 2

I've tested and installed the new version on most of my environments. The upgrade works like a charm. There is a "new" storage repository version but don't worry the upgrade works. The only thing that you have to keep in mind is that if you upgraded a repository it won't work with older versions of xen server anymore. I really apreciate the "new" storage respositories with the snapshot feature (wich we waited for about over 2 years now). In summery there a some little new features but it's mostly the same only better.
One bad thing of the upgrade process is that in some circumstances your iso libraries won't work anymore (only local isos). I've previosly posted about this issue with a upgrade of the 4.x versions and still got only a workaround but no fix.
