    I have working inoslalatitn of xenserver 5.6 SP2 and have one issue that is possibly because of usb behavior. After some time that the server is running I receive errors that drive is not accessible and I cannot login to server on console or over xencenter but VMs are working and the server is working but not manageable so one of the possible problems is that for some reason system cannot access usb bus and therefore cannot access root file system my storage is on separate disk so that is why VMs are running without problem.. I have checked and changed USB stick but problem is not rersolved anyone with same problem?regards, Vladimir
