Ewan,

Thanks for your help, now it does really work!

What I had to do was hacking in
/usr/share/pyshared/nova/virt/xenapi_conn.py line 473. Since this
function fails (eg: python stack dump), I hacked the return of a version
using:

return (5, 10, 3)

as you told me it needed version 6, once I replaced the 5 by a 6, my XCP
instanced got started successfully by nova! :)

Now, we got to fix this hack into a real fix, and release this in SID.
Do you know why get_product_version() in xenapi_conn.py fails?

Cheers,
