I added more memory to my dom0 and not hung for a week. I still think
this is just kicking the ball a little further but sooner or later
will explode. OVS consumption in terms of CPU and MEM grows without
stopping. I think the question comes from a configuration I have in a
port of a sw connect where my host's XCP with the trunk mode
configuration of vlans without specifying which as indicated here[1]
and seeing the hotfix[2] xenserver believe that there comes my
problem. So my question is: I can apply this patch XCP? Agree with me
that the problem can come from there?
