Hello,

This is baffling.

The XenAPI failure message does not help at all unfortunately...however by looking at what the code is trying to do:

    this_vm_ref = get_this_vm_ref(session)
    vbd_rec = {}
    vbd_rec['VM'] = this_vm_ref
    vbd_rec['VDI'] = vdi_ref
    vbd_rec['userdevice'] = 'autodetect'
    vbd_rec['bootable'] = False
    vbd_rec['mode'] = read_only and 'RO' or 'RW'
    vbd_rec['type'] = 'disk'
    vbd_rec['unpluggable'] = True
    vbd_rec['empty'] = False
    vbd_rec['other_config'] = {}
    vbd_rec['qos_algorithm_type'] = ''
    vbd_rec['qos_algorithm_params'] = {}
    vbd_rec['qos_supported_algorithms'] = []
    LOG.debug(_('Creating VBD for VDI %s ... '), vdi_ref)
    vbd_ref = session.get_xenapi().VBD.create(vbd_rec)

It is possible that your nova-compute is a spurious state, e.g. there are too many VDIs attached to your nova-compute domU.

From the log, you got the Opaque references so you could possibly troubleshoot this by executing the snippet above (with appropriate code around it) in order to gather more information.

Try also:

xe vm-param-list uuid=<uuid of your nova-compute>

and see what it says.

HTH

BTW, this is DIABLO isn't it? It'd be useful to know, though I put the blame on Launchpad which does not let people TAG the questions

Yes, it`s diablo. You was right, it was problem with too many VDIs...

I have quasstion about networking in XenServer... It`s easy to set flat networking (fixed_ips)for VM in Openstack/KVM configuration. I`m trying do the same in XenServer but it doesn`t work...I can assign static ip from fixed_ip set, but if i want to do it ussing dhcp it failures...

What should I do to set fixed_ips using dhcp?

Can I kindly ask you to discuss networking with another question, as it is going to be a different topic?

Thanks,
