Just to confirm, you can create a Cloud with a single Zone, containing both XenServer Clusters and VMware Clusters, but you should create unique PODs, one for XenServer and one for VMware
Because XenServer uses LinkLocal and VMware does not, the Reserved IP Ranges for each POD will be significantly different. Regarding System VMs, there is a Global Setting which allow you to control which Hypervisor the System VMs will prefer, its 'system.vm.default.hypervisor' if you do not set this, it typically creates them on the first available Cluster, then sticks with that Hypervisor type. Changing that global setting, restarting the management service, then destroying the system VMs will see them move from one type of hypervisor to another, I have done this many time, so if it's not working, you have a problem somewhere.

I wonder that to see if this can be reproduced to see if its an environmental issue vs mixed cloud bug.
