Hi everybody,

I hope I'll find any one can help me in this big prblem.

I have 10 XCP hosts, some of them has more than 2 Virtal machines (max 4 VMs)

each host has:
Intel Quad Core i7 2.8Gig
2*1T HDD
1*1G NIC for internal use
1*100 Mbps connected to public network
12 GB RAM

for example for one of them (XCP 0.5) Host:

   To clarify, you are using XCP 0.5? If so I would definitely suggest upgrading to 1.0

I installed 2 Centos VMs each with 3GB RAM, and 4VCPUs and 910 GB VHDD and 2 VNICs, I followed the documentation to install them. and I increased the Dom0 memory by editing /boot/extlinux.conf "dom0_mem=2940M" because I faced too many problems with default values and I thought it will be better if I increased the mem.

BUT NOW every 2 weeks " may be less" all my XCP hosts hanging and when I tried to check RAM using xentop I got:

and after restarting, every thing working fine again and after some time hanging again and when I am trying to ping my VMs some times I am getting timeout, and some times I am loosing data packets.
I want to know why my XCP hosts hanging and not responding after sometime.

Any help will be appriciated,Please

Inas
