[Xen-API] Is XenServer 6.2 as Broken as it Seems?

[Gene Cooper <gcooper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong...

I installed 6.2 on a pair of identical test servers (modern Supermicro 
with dual Intel 2600 CPUs) and I was amazed to find two show-stopper 
issues within minutes.  I have been using XCP 1.6 flawlessly for months 
with all hardware detected perfectly.
I installed the servers in XCP mode.

1) After the base install, which went perfectly, I created a pool and 
found that I could not add the second server to the pool ans saw this error:
There was a problem with the license daemon (v6d). Is it running?

2)  I couldn't install any updates (which sounded important).  In the 
latest (6.2 Hotfix 3) XenCenter showed the two servers grayed-out.  So I 
installed the Hotfixes 1, 2 and 4 via the command line as I have done on 
previous versions of XenServer and rebooted...and lost contact with the 
servers.  They wouldn't boot up again...stuck on the graphical progress 
screen with no way to ESCape out.
I reinstalled XCP 1.6 for now...

Thanks for any tips, clues or advice.
