After installing the Citrix Merchandising Server (v1.1) appliance onto a XenServer 5.5, the XenCenter displayed a warning that XenTools on the CMS was out of date. Looks like XenTools 5.0 is installed on the CMS by default.
I had tried using the CMS command console but personally, had no luck with that whatsoever. When I entered “y”, I was immediately returned to the CMS Diagnostics menu.
At this point, I decided to manually update the XenTools on the CMS using the following steps:
1. View the CMS Server Console and on the Diagnostics menu, type 4 to launch the Appliance Terminal.
2. At the appliance terminal prompt, enter the following commands:
cd /mnt
ls
mkdir xs-tools
mount /dev/xvdd /mnt/xs-tools
bash install.sh
3. You will see a message stating that the kernel-xen and xe-guest-utilities packages will be upgraded. Type y to continue.
4. When XenTools has been upgraded, you will be prompted to restart the virtual machine. Enter the command shutdown -r now to reboot the VM immediately, or schedule the reboot to occur at your convenience.

David,
Thanks for posting this tip. It would have taken me a while to figure this out.
I am running XS 5.6 fp1 and it looks like they have changed the structure of the xs-tools.iso, placing the Linux install in a sub-directory.
Here are the modified steps.
——
cd /mnt
mkdir xs-tools
mount /dev/xvdd /mnt/xs-tools
cd xs-tools/Linux <- mind the capital 'L'
bash install.sh
——
I unmounted and removed xs-tools directory. I'm not sure if this is absolutely necessary, but I did it anyway.
Thanks
