Or you might want to try XenServer 6.0.2 which has xen 4.1 hypersivor which supports new processor features, XenServer 5.6 SP is using xen 3.4.2. Or you might turn to XenServer forum. http://forums.citrix.com/category.jspa?categoryID=101 Anthony > -----Original Message----- > From: Marlon Davids [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2012 6:34 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: VM's freezing up > > Yes the tools are installed. > > Kind Regards, > Marlon Davids > > ....................................................................... > ....................... > P: +44 (0)845 619 7444 | M: +44 (0)7827 333 > 583 E: [email protected] > ....................................................................... > ....................... > W: www.umbeehosting.co.uk Managed Hosting Specialists. > ....................................................................... > ....................... > > > Umbee Ltd, TMS House, Cray Avenue, Orpington, Kent, BR5 3QB Company > Registration Number. 06954604.
