I've successfully installed foreman-xen via gem and have it tied into my
three XenServer hosts. It's able to provision new systems, but when it does
my vm-data xenstore is empty. This is where foreman-xen appears to send
information related to networking and the like.
I know this is a very early build and that problems are likely to occur,
but I also know that my XenServer cluster has had some interesting issues
in the past. Before I start diving into code and troubleshooting the plugin
I am wondering if anyone else has tried this and whether you encountered a
similar issue.
Foreman (and foreman-xen) are running on a CentOS 6.5 system and I'm using
XCP 1.6.10-61809c.
In Foreman, when you provision a VM using foreman-xen there are a handful
of fields you need to populate with things like hostname, ip address, etc.
These are supposed to be added into the xenstore under the path vm-data/,
but nothing has been added there. You can check yours by executing the
following on a guest.
I did a bunch of digging and it looks to me like an incorrect XAPI call is
being made:
VM.set_xenstore_data: ["MESSAGE_PARAMETER_COUNT_MISMATCH",
"VM.set_xenstore_data", "2", "1"]
That's where I've stopped so far.

Because I'm too persistent for my own good, I've located the problem in the
xenstore_hash_flatten method and repaired it. I'll have a pull request in
shortly.
