Hi, We have an exchange 2010 DAG setup but during replication a lot of the time the destination DomU would lock up completely. After a lot of testing it boiled down to the GPLPV drivers so after trying to uninstall we are getting the blue screen with 07B at boot up. I realise I forgot to run the uninstall script before unstalling from the control panel but now we can''t get the DomU back up and running. Ive have also tried with the NOGPLPV option but makes no difference. Can someone advise the best way in getting the host back up, im guessing the registry has the incorrect driver entries. The OS is Windows 2008 R2. Thanks Ian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Look for xenpci in any UpperFilter (and maybe LowerFilter) key values and remove it. Then unload the hive and detach the boot disk and it should boot. I may have fixed the network problem you are seeing, and could give you a link to the latest binary if you are in a position to test it.

Hi James, Thanks now back up. Is the network issue a common problem (or was) ? Happy to test it out for you as it is very easy to reproduce.

Hi James, So far so good, its replicating and not crashing this time. It does seem a bit slower though, it maybe just the network. Ill do some more tests after the replication has finished. Just out of curiosity, which versions are affected which could cause lock ups? I may need to update some other hosts.

Hi James, I spoke to soon, second attempt to replicate and it has crashed after about 2 seconds. Ive not removed the drivers as yet. BTW this is a new install of Win2008 R2 today.
