Debian 7.7 xcp-xapi doesn't start on boot
Hi,

I dunno if this is the right list, I am looking for help wit ha problem
deploying xcp-xapi on Debian 7.7.

Every reboot (the system is a development machine so isn't on 24/7) I keep
getting an issue crop up where the xcp-xapi service won't start during
boot. If I try to start it manually it sits for ages then returns an error
on the terminal as per:

root@zaire:~$ service xcp-xapi start
The server failed to handle your request, due to an internal error. The
given message may give details useful for debugging the problem.
message: missing table
<extra>: host
<extra>:
root@zaire:~$

If can fix it and get it top start by running:

root@zaire:~# dpkg-reconfigure xcp-squeezed
root@zaire:~# dpkg-reconfigure xcp-xapi

Then:

root@zaire:~# service xcp-xapi start

and it starts instantly.

XenCenter and OpenXenManager then connect immediately, VMs fire up and all
is golden.

I'd like to solve this, I am currently testing this prior to deploying it
to production, and if I'm offsite this is going to be a real pain in the
event of a server reboot.

Thanks,
