NIC driver issue maybe. Remove the nic and readd
<shudders> that would involve touching XS. LOL.
Isn't that how this started - because you touched XS?
Only in the acceptable way.
You know how they feel about not treating it as an appliance.
Oh no, I've already said too much...

FFS.
XS is not an appliance, that is XO.
XS is a hypervisor, you have to know WTF you are doing to fondle it.

Uninstall XenServer tools from mint and try mint without the tools.
Is XenServer installed on hard drive or USB?

he's beyond that at this point. If the Mint VM is shutdown, he can't install a new VM, it just hangs.
I agree, at this point, look to see if you can remove and readd the NIC.

From a little back and forth on the XS forums, it appears others are also having this issue.
And get this ... only affects Linux VMs. I installed a new Windows VM instance, and it works perfectly.
THAT is a head scratcher.

Have you tried using "Other install media" template to create new Linux VMs?

These things all worked perfectly for months. Something in one of the latest updates broke it.

Yep. Installing the latest 7.0 hotfixes is what started this behavior.

@BRRABill What about upgrading to 7.1 or 7.2?

On the XS forums it seems like there are some bugs in 7.1 that torch the host, so I've been waiting to be sure those are fixed before upgrading.
It really seems like there are more and more issues with XS with each new updates. Starting to make me a little nervous...

New NIC fixed the issue.
So to sum up ... one of the XS7 updates hosed the NIC on my XS, but only with Linix VMs. Windows VMs worked fine.
A new NIC (with the Linux VMs using only that NIC) fixed the issue.
