[Xen-API] Xapi on Centos

[Muriel <mucawhite@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
as I said some time ago I'm working to bring xapi on centos6. I built some packages just for a proof of concept (when I could I have used the rpms from fedora 17). Now I can use sr, vdi and vbd but I have some problem with network.

The setup:
kernel 2.6.32.39 (jeremy), xen 4.1.2(fedora), blktap 2.0.90(git), xapi-libs 0.5.3(git), xapi 1.3.2(git).

I configured the interface with:
xe pif-reconfigure-ip uuid=$ETH0_UUID mode=dhcp
disabled the network service and enabled xcp-networkd.

When boot ends the machine have the bridges "correctly configured", but without any ip address (also using a static IP).

Some logs:
xapi: [ info|janas27.crs4.it|0 thread_zero|Listening unix socket D:13cd549e76d4|xapi] Successfully bound socket to: UNIX /var/xapi/xapi

I think there is something misconfigured but i don't know where.

Some strange behaviors:
- when the machine boot I can see the kernel messages:
Starting the XCP networking daemon: Bridge firewalling registered
device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
xenbr0: port 1(eth0) entering learning state
xenbr0: port 1(eth0) entering forwarding state
but according to brctl there is not stp active
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
xenbr0             8000.00e08133bde0       no              eth0


Any suggestions?
