      So I'm scratching my head on this one... "No Xen tools detected"

      Yet..

      Am I missing something stupidly simple?

        i got similar problems with Xen beta drivers, or totally unable to install them.
        So i suppose it's better to use Citrix driver.

          @Tristis-Oris These tools were installed from xenserver.com/downloads, which is the official process.

          If I went to Citrix, I'd likely have to get behind a paywall.

            Citrix tools can be installed on XCP. I use them without problems.
            Just need to find any alive url to download.

            Or maybe someone know any tricks to get xen driver works.

                I always assumed that the ones from xenserver.com were identical to the Citrix version. Is that incorrect?

                  @Danp I'm not certain, I would assume that Citrix is very likely tweaking to match their version of XAPI.

                  I do know that with the version from xenserver.com/downloads I am dealing with this now..

                  Maybe just restarting the services will fix it? ..

                  IDK it's irritating more than anything else, but it's definitely a pain in the rear if I have to patch the pool as the drivers being mucked up, mucks up the entire process.

                    @DustinB Have you tried the usual suspects?

                    • Restart the drivers
                    • Restart the VM
                    • Uninstall / reinstall the VM tools
                    • Break out the sledge hammer 😜
