    Description

      At 01:06 this morning our server stopped responding. All VMs appeared to be unresponsive (i.e. could not access via RDP/Console, HTTP, HTTPS etc), although they could be pinged.

      SSH to the host was responding. See attached file containing output from SSH.

      This issue has occurred once before on 16th October 2015 but never prior. Hot fixes are installed as and when they become available.

      To resolve, had to do a full power-cycle using iDRAC as running "reboot" via SSH did not work and rebooting via XenCenter was unsuccessful.

      Snippet from /var/log/messages output:
