Console Issues

1. Attempts by device administrators to add a disk to a device fail and the following error message appears: “The user does not have sufficient privileges to perform the operation.”

   To address this issue in its entirety, you must install both a Server and a Console hotfix that contains Fix #LA2756.

   <cat_pvs_console>[#LA2756]

Server Issues

1. When a NAS controller fails or a (temporary) network interruption occurs, target devices can take up to 20 minutes to recover. During that time, the target devices remain unresponsive.

   <cat_pvs_server>[#LA2360]

2. The Stream Process (StreamProcess.exe) can exit unexpectedly when many target devices reconnect at the same time due to HA failover or rebalancing.

   <cat_pvs_server>[#LA2576]

3. The StreamProcess can exit unexpectedly at random.

   <cat_pvs_server>[#LA2650]

4. Attempts by device administrators to add a disk to a device fail and the following error message appears: “The user does not have sufficient privileges to perform the operation.”

   To address this issue in its entirety, you must install both a Server and a Console hotfix that contains Fix #LA2756.

   <cat_pvs_server>[#LA2756]

5. Stopping the Stream Service on a given Provisioning Server can render some target devices connected to that server unresponsive as failover to other servers does not occur.

   <cat_pvs_server>[#LA2812]

6. StreamProcess.exe can exit unexpectedly while handling targets’ relogin or service requests.

   <cat_pvs_server>[#LA2855]

Target Device Issues

1. Target devices can randomly become unresponsive with memory dumps indicating that the issue occurs while getting the performance timer.

   <cat_pvs_targetdevice>[#LA2398]

2. Stopping the Stream Service on a given Provisioning Server can render some target devices connected to that server unresponsive as failover to other servers does not occur.

   <cat_pvs_server>[#LA2812]

3. When streaming multiple guests to a XS 6.1 host, Provisioning Services consumes one PVS target license per virtual machine instead of checking for available XenServer licensing options.

   Note: To enable this fix in its entirety, you must also install XenServer Hotfix Knowledge Center article XS61E010 or its replacement hotfix.
