Hi, that is the famous setup article from one of CloudStack conferences, if I'm not mistaken - but since things have changed "a bit" during last 4 years (both cloudstack and the XenServer versions), that means that probably some steps might be missing (just a guess)
Anyway, since system VM is not starting at all - I would suggest to take a look into systemVM template - which you should have preseeded during the installation process with the "*cloud-install-sys-tmplt*" script - check template state in GUI if it says "OK" under "Ready" section (go to specific template, click on Zones, and there you will read it). Alternatively, make sure that HOST is in connected/up/routing state - can be observer from Infrastructure-->Hosts. Otherwise, is systemVM template is OK, than the HOST (xenserver) should be able to mount Secondary Storage (your emails says it works fine...) and start the VM from the template (later patch systemVM etc etc...) I would also suggest perhaps trying a more up to date tutorial, from the original documentation for 4.11 release (http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org) and check your steps with XenServer. Alternatively, if you are willing to play with KVM, there is also a very Quick Installation Guide for CenOS6 (outdated, being updated as we speak) - while updated version (not final but with some comments) can be found here: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-documentation/blob/cae56e460902b7b4efde426b9cc88e512a1c9076/source/quickinstallationguide/qig.rst If nothing helps, please share management.log file content (pastebean or similar) so we can check. I'm personally not aware of specific agent logs on XenServer, but I assume there are some logs from XenServer itself which you could collect as well.
