This article is helpful when : 
When XenServer is running and is unable to connect to XenServer host from XenCenter. 
However, XenServer is reachable over the network and you can open an SSH connection to XenServer host.

Steps:
  1. Open an SSH connection to your XenServer host.
  2.  In a text console, run the following command: xenserver-status-report --yestoall
  3. This command creates a status report file on local file system of XenServer. location would be : /var/opt/xen/bug-report
  4. Copy your Server Status Report file from XenServer host to your desktop. Use the pscp command line utility (part of PuTTY  package) or WinSCP (separate Windows SFTP/FTP client application) to copy your file from XenServer.
