Poor performance with AMD

Had some fun recently with some Dell server’s and getting any type of respectable performance from the VM’s on each Xenserver host.

Turns out that if you have a AMD Opteron 62** it is only support on 6.0.2 XenServer (this is all it should require) and even after running the upgrade to 6.0.2 it also then required HOTFIX XS602E016 and to also change the power settings in the BIOS to max power and then upgrade the XenTools of each VM.

Just thought that this might help someone if they are experiencing this type of issue.
