Symptoms

In Exalogic Virtual environments both 2.0.4.x and 2.0.6.x when system is under load issue of vServers hanging is observed. vServers which exhibit hang issue run with default MTU setting of 65520 for IPoIB interfaces and vm.min_free_kbytes.

At the time of the issue vServer which is hanging is shown as UP when running "xm list" command. But when we try to open console to vServer using "xm console" nothing happens. In some cases we get login prompt with xm console, but when logging in we do not see anything happening.
