I did some tests and I see the problem too.
XenServer 6.5 SP1 with almost all patches (3 hosts in pool), FreeBSD 11.0-R=
ELEASE-p2, xe-guest-utilities-6.2.0_2 installed via pkg.
First migration from host 3 to host 1 is ok.
Some seconds later I start a new migration from host 1 to host 2 and when m=
igration finishes (as seen in XenCenter) then the VM switches to the VGABio=
s screen ("Plex86/Bochs VGABios (PCI) current-cvs 01 Sep 2016 ... cirrus-co=
mpatible VGA is detected"). The VM seem to hang and does not respond. In Xe=
nCenter I see that all the CPU's of the VM go up to 100 percent.
Then after 17 minutes the VGABios screen disappears and I see the console, =
the CPU usage as seen in XenCenter goes down. I logged in as root before I =
started the first migration and root is still logged in. So it was a hang a=
nd not a reboot.
20 minutes later I start a new migration from host 2 to host 3 and the prob=
lem occurs again.
This problem does not exist with 10.3-RELEASE on the same hosts.
