The big problem I recall with the 5.6 Linux tools happened during live
migration. I don't recall the specific circumstances, but if the VM was
migrated, it could cause either the guest or the host to crash. I've never

Hi,
During the CCCEU conference, I’ve been in some discussions with few people on
whether we should install/bundle xenserver tools (and vmware tools and/or
