I am still getting the volume_id missing.
I could see the openstack created images using libvirt and rbd but I did
not see them from xe using vdi-list.
So just to try another method I mounted the images in
/usr/share/xapi/images/ and I still get the same error.
Pulling out my handy dandy wireshark I could see a sr.get_record request
and a return with the same number of images as in the RBD pool.

The volume_id missing from the connection_details is highly
suspicious, yes. I've not seen that before, and don't know what could
cause it.
Hopefully someone else on the list will be able to assist. If not, I
may be able to have another look on Monday.
I'm not sure why we didn't use rdb-fuse -- that's a question best
asked on the xs-devel mailing list.

Doh.
Now I feel stupid.
It is getting much farther
Now I am seeing the following but I expect it may be because of all
the other stuff I broke trying to figure out my previous problem.

A partly off topic question.
Why not use rdb-fuse and mount the ceph blobs as files instead of
going through libvirt?

Could you provide the full error log with nova crashing?

*Subject:* Re: [Openstack] Openstack and xen issues.
I have put Openstack on a separate machine to try and separate and
isolate the various components I need to work with in the
interests of making my debugging easier.
This in retrospect may not have been the best idea.
I have had a very long history with xen and that may be more of an
impediment because I think I know things about it that are no
longer true.
I am using the default devstack scripts as of a few weeks ago so
it should be grabbing the latest version of Openstack or at least
that is my belief.
Here is my sr-param-list.

I started tracing the xenapi transactions over the network and
could see the pool.get_all and pool.get_default when the sr_filter
was not set but once I set it nova would crash complaining about
no repository.
I checked the TCP transactions and did not see any SR.get_all
while some debugging prints assured me that the code was being
exercised.

Hi Alvin,
Yes, we typically do expect Nova to be running in a DomU.
It's worth checking out
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/yum/content/introduction-to-xen.html
just to make sure you've got everything covered there.
I say typically because in some configurations (notably using
xenserver-core) it may be possible to run Nova in dom0 by
setting the connection URL to "unix://local". This is an
experimental configuration and was added near the end of
Havana -- see
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/xenserver-core.
In terms of sr_matching_filter, check that you're setting it
in the right group. If you're using the latest builds of
Icehouse then it should be in the xenserver group. I'm also
assuming that the other-config for the SR does indeed contain
ceph-sr=true?
Is the SR that is used for VMs still the default-SR?
Thanks,
Bob

*Subject:* [Openstack] Openstack and xen issues.
I am trying to use xen with Ceph and openstack using the
devstack package.
I am slowly wacking my way through things and have noticed a
few issues.
1. openstack expects to be running in a domU and generates
error messages even if xenapi_check_host is false. I am
not sure if this causes other side effects. The tests for
the local dom0 should be completley bypassed if the check
is disabled.
2. Open stack tries to read the xen SRs and checks the
default one which ends up being the xen local storage and
not any other SR. If I set the sr_matching_filter =
other-config:ceph-sr=true there should be a xapi
SR.get_all request generated but it looks like it is not
generated at all. I have tracked the http traffic and no
out put is generated even though the approprate code is
being called.
