One of our production clusters driven by XCP suddenly went uresponsive. After restart and some investigation we found such logs in dom0 machine syslog:

where eth0 is hardware NIC.
While host machine seems to hang, guest machines continue to work, so our tiny internal monitoring on one of the
virtual hosts logged something like that:
