Strange, it is usually selinux that breaks xend. If you run
systemctl status xend.service
it should give you some indication of what went wrong.

Note that
systemctl enable xend.service
enables xend on boot (it is off by default in the package because xend is 
being deprecated), to start it by hand you need
systemctl start xend.service
