All customers who are affected by the issues described in CTX692748 - XenServer and Citrix Hypervisor Security Bulletin should update to this version of the tools or later.

This release also includes updates to collected telemetry.

This release contains fixes for the following issues:

• In some cases, with XenServer VM Tools 9.4.0 installed, Windows 11 cannot be upgraded from 23H2 to 24H2.
• The management agent can sometimes crash on VM reboot or startup.
• Some Windows VMs can experience unexpected hard reboots.

• <xenvif 9.1.12.101

• The XenServer VM Tools for Windows version is not correctly reported to XenServer due to the Management Agent checking the incorrect InstallStatus value in the registry.
• Due to an incomplete handling of StorNvme's StartOverride registry keys, you might encounter a BSOD with the error "Inaccessible Boot Device" after rebooting your Windows VM during a XenServer VM Tools update through Windows Update.
• Sometimes, when updating XenServer VM Tools for Windows, the static IP settings are lost and the network settings change to use DHCP. This issue is resolved if you're updating from version 9.3.3 or later (for example, from 9.4.0 to a newer version). However, if you're updating from a version earlier than 9.3.3 (for example, from 9.3.2 to 9.4.0), the issue will occur once during the update, but it will not affect future updates. For more information, see the support article Static IP loss when updating to VM Tools for Windows 9.3.3 or earlier.

• If you rely on the Management Agent for automatic updates, you must manually update to version 9.4.0 or later, as 9.3.3 does not automatically update to 9.4.0 due to certificate checking issues. To resolve this, manually install XenServer VM Tools for Windows 9.4.0 or a newer version on each VM.

• Sometimes, the Management Agent can crash with a ManagementException when the VM is under heavy load.
• On Windows 2022 Servers, a single vCPU can consume 100% CPU. As a result, the server becomes unresponsive.
• Windows VMs hosted in a pool that uses OpenVSwitch networking and VLAN tagged ethernet frames can have inconsistent network connectivity.

This release includes general improvements to the Citrix VM Tools installer.

This release includes general improvements to string handling of registry keys.

We recommend that you set the automatic reboot registry key before updating to the latest version of the Citrix VM Tools for Windows. For more information, see Setting automatic reboots when updating the Citrix VM Tools for Windows.

Important:If you are currently using the 8.2.x.x drivers and want to use the provided MSI file to update to this version of the drivers, you must use Device Manager to uninstall the 8.2.x.x drivers from your VM before installing these drivers. If you do not complete this step, the MSI install process fails with the error: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception."

This release includes general improvements to the Citrix VM Tools installer.

• Security software was blocking secondary disks that are marked as removable from being exposed to the OS, as a data-exfiltration prevention measure. This update enables you to flag a VBD as non-removable and have this correctly exposed through the OS.
• On a Windows VM, sometimes the IP address of an SR-IOV VIF is not visible in XenCenter.

Important:Updating to the 9.x.x.x version of the xeniface driver removes quiesced snapshots capability of the VM. If you are on XenServer 7.1 CU2 and are using quiesced snapshots and wish to retain this functionality, do not adopt the 9.x.x.x drivers.

• Windows VMs that have version 9.2.1 or 9.2.2 of the Citrix VM Tools installed and that are PVS targets can sometimes freeze with a black screen. The message "Guest Rx stalled" is present in the dom0 kernel logs. This issue more often occurs on pool masters than on other pool members.
• On a Windows VM with more than 8 vCPUs, Receive Side Scaling might not work because the xenvif driver fails to set up the indirection table.

• During update of the tools, the xenbus driver can prompt a reboot before driver installation is complete. Accepting the reboot can cause a blue screen error in your Windows VM.
• When compressing collected diagnostic information, the xt-bugtool diagnostics tool times out after 20s. This behavior can result in the diagnostics zip file not being correctly created.
• VNC clipboard sharing doesn't work.
• The previous versions of the drivers were not released through Windows Update.

This set of drivers and management agent are available only as an MSI file for direct installation. Ensure that you use the installer to both download and install the drivers. Do not attempt to install the downloaded drivers manually.

This set of drivers will not be provided through Windows Update.

Note: This version of the Citrix VM Tools is the earliest tested with Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 Cumulative Update 1.We recommend you update your VMs to use this version of the tools before upgrading to Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 CU1.

• In some cases, the Laptop/Slate state of the VM cannot be changed.
• After a VM is restarted it can sometimes begin to send excessive log messages to the daemon.log file.
• A race condition in driver load dependencies after an OS upgrade can prevent the Citrix VM Tools from being upgraded.
• A storage error can cause Windows VMs to crash.
• Sometimes the IP address of an SR-IOV VIF is not visible in XenCenter. To fix the issue, restart the management agent from within the VM's Service Manager.
• Under high network and system load, and low resources, VMs can experience bugchecks in both Citrix and third party drivers, typically with code IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. This fix improves network buffering to prevent these bugchecks.

• Upgrading the Windows I/O drivers can cause UEFI VMs to fail to boot, reporting "0xC000000E. A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.""

• An issue can occur when installing the Citrix VM Tools after uninstalling a previous version of the Citrix VM Tools that returns the following error message: "This Device cannot start (code 10) (Operation failed) The requested operation was unsuccessful".

We recommend that you set the automatic reboot registry key before updating to the latest version of the Citrix VM Tools for Windows. For more information, see Setting automatic reboots when updating the Citrix VM Tools for Windows.
