Problem
I want to run openvpn, but the default "citrix" repo is the only on enables, and it don't have it. (yes i know that wasn't proper english)
xenserver version: 6.2
Solution
1. enable centos base repo
edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file, set enabled=0 to enabled=1 for every section except the [updates] one
