Problem BESR 2010 ( 8.5 ) with XenServer 5.6 ( XenTools )

[A-H-S]

We got massive Problems with the new Xentools 5.6 und BESR. After Installation of the Xentools 5.6 the SystemGui hangs ( for about 2 min
you cannot do anything, then the System reacts for 1-2 sec.). If you stop the BESR services or go back to the 5.5 Version of the Xentools,
everything is working fine again. We can reproduce the error on SBS 2003, 2008, WinXP...
I open a thread here and on the Xenside, because i don't know who is guilty. All I know is, that we need a solution for this problem,
because we have many combinations of Xen/BESR on customers side.

FP1 is Feature Pack 1, as far as I know it isn't possible to install it like a patch. I guess you just have to reinstall the host. Never updated to 5.6 so I don't know for sure.

Indeed it would be great if someone could confirm.

Hello,

we've tested it so far with XEN5.6 FP1 and SBS2011 with BESR2010.

FP1 is an upgrade for the Xen-Server and it brings new Xen-Tools.

After that I did a new installation of SBS2011 with BESR2010. I did

not change the Registry or anything else and it is runnung fine.

I've not testet it until now with an old installation and the registry-fix.

But in a fresh 5.6 FP1 install, it seems to be ok again with BESR2010.

Sounds good, is there a possibility Symantec can evaluate 5.6 FP1 for BESR2010 @ SCL?

Anyone same positive experience as A-H-S?

Not sure about that. Support for XenServer 5.6 is being considered for the next version of BESR.

Seriously, just read two more posts back.

I saw the 'solution' was already submitted with the article.
