** We have an open support ticket for this, but I thought I'd try here as well **
Recently we decided to upgrade from 7.2 to the latest version of XS after having purchased enterprise licenses. We have 3 hosts, 2 in a pool (Dell PER730xd), and one standalone (haven't touched this yet). I upgraded through XenCenter, first to 7.3, after taking a metadata backup. During this time, as VMs were shuffled to and fro we noticed that services were dropping off. We then discovered that neither of the hosts 2 x 10G copper ports (NetExtreme II BCM57800 1/10 NICs, bnx2x driver) were connected. During the next 24 hours to now we have noticed the following:
Network ports are connected when machines boot, but at 1G (light is orange). Once Xen boots and is loaded the ports get disconnected. Booting from a server update ISO gave us green lights (which stayed green).
Driver version is 1.714.6. I can not make heads or tails of the driver version numbers. A support tech asked me to update the drivers from this page. Following the instructions (bar the New installation section) didn't yield any results. Another support guy asked me to install this update (which was supposed to install a previous version, but which went to a page that had a higher version number than the first one). Second update didn't even do anything. Still at the same version as mentioned before.
xe pif-list yields some doubled up interfaces. Removing them and rescanning etc had no effect.
Hardware shows up in lspci output.
Support guy removed bonded interface (2 x 10G interfaces) to no effect.
Luckily we are a school and are on holidays. No students. But skeleton staff. Also luckily we still have one physical DC that can do DNS, DHCP etc for basic internet access. We are going to try the other 1G link as an emergency standby and at least get essential services going.
