vhd images not launched on xcp-xapi

Looks like the xapi plugins are not installed correctly.
How did you invoke devstack?

hey john,
thanks for your reply

I just downloaded devstack from git and ran the script, and everything else was done automatically..

I remember copying the xapi plugins manually, since the script was complaining about overwritting just copied files

OK. I would double check the plugins have the execute bit set. Also, what
directory did you copy them into?

It would be good to see the error that came up, that used to work on ubuntu.

the plugins are in /usr/lib/xcp/plugins/ ,
the executable bit is set for all of them...

I was thinking the problem could come from the way I created the VHD image; I installed ubuntu on virtual box with full hard driver and I just copied the vhd file(I hope it is the right way to do it ) .

Ah, sorry, I miss read the trace, it looks like the plugin is working
well, just it can't fetch your image, for some reason.

Can you launch the cirros image that devstack installed for your?

yes I could create an instance based on that image (at last something is working :) ).
But I can't get whats the problem with the vhd imageCan you launch the cirros image that devstack installed for you

weird, the VM will run for some minute , dashboard shows me the VM is in "spawning state", I can see the VM on my xen server and after a while the VM is deleted from the xen server and the state is changed to "error" on dashboard.

here is what the log looks like:

hey John, I could make an instance run with the default cirros image provided by devstack, by deactivating the xenapi agent.
so the setup is working. My point now would be how to build a proper image for my xcp-xapi hypervisor?

Many thanks for your help this far

David

Hmm, the agent in the image should be totally optional, so that is odd. That might be a bug you want to raise. Looks that the reset network call is cause the issue there.

To build an image, the simplest way I know is to create a VM, using XCP-XAPI, making sure you have an EXT SR. You can then install all the tools and other things you might want (cloud-init). Once you are happy, you can find the VHD file for that VM upload it to glance (via cli or horizon).
