you should be able to perform it with the good old way, upgrading the 
master by evacuating vm running on it and then inserting the XCP 1.6 cd 
and rebooting. The CD should detect the current installation and propose 
to upgrade it.
Then you evacuate VMs on slave, reboot with CD, upgrade and go on with 
this process.
Hope this helps,

Denis
