Hi,
This is really scary. Can test within couple of days, but I will put
4.5.1 version as 4.5 is broken. Memory snapshots are not available for the
XenServer as far as I know, but they just failed at CS before. Host did crash
definately.
Vadim.

Subject: XenServer 6.5
Hi all,
We recently experienced a host crash on XenServer 6.5 (all available patches
applied) when running snapshot of the virtual machines disks and memory.
Snapshots of disks only (not memory) does not cause a XenServer crash. This
happens both when initiating the snapshots from CloudStack 4.5 or directly from
XenServer/Center.
We are able to reproduce this with Ubuntu 14.04.2 and xe-guest-utilities
6.5.0-1400, XenServer 6.5 with all available patches and FC as primary storage.
We will continue to test with other versions/combinations.
Could someone else with XenServer 6.5 please try a full snapshot of VM with
disks and memory to see if you experience the same? We have the crash dumps and
will report this but it would be useful with some more feedback.
Thanks,
