Description

Cannot add XenServer 6.0.2 based hosts with E3 CPU. SSVM of any type fail to boostrap, ending up with incomplete network configuration and Cloudstack unable to ping it. Adding a host with any other type of previous generation CPU succeeds and SSVMs start properly (in this case X3450) .
