XenServer: If UI seems stuck or invalid state

The XS API agent/service can be restarted without affecting VMs that are running. This service may need to be restarted after having manually configured host parameters i.e. Management NIC, etc.

•XS Agent runs on top Xen Hypervisor API and XenStore

#service xapi restart
