How do I get this server back online?

Have taken the time to update XenServer 6, trying to get it all the way. The most update, however looks to have broken it. This is a super critical machine and I've been on it for 6 hours now.

XenCenter 6.5 cannot see/connect to the host.

The Host seems to be stuck in maintenance mode. When I try to exist maintenance mode from xsconsole, I get ("'NoneType' object has no attribute 'xenapi'",)

The host is pingable and can ping out.

I cannot run any xe commands, it returns: Error: Connection refused (calling connect ).

If you anyone can get me out of this tight spot I will be eternally grateful!

I haven't come across this but a few others have when you Google.

Yeah I've done the rounds online for the last 8 hours and it's driving me *insane!* Thankyou for for the effort though!

Is it a standalone server?

Tried renamiing the db file one of those links points to?

Yep, it is the host to 2 VMs on it's own local storage.

I have tried the renaming state.db but unfortunately it hasn't helped.

We're at 22 hours in the office and I just cannot fix this thing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried rebooting it into single user mode so you have some sort of access?
