Thanks for letting us know you're trying to get nova working with the 
xenapi driver James. The last time there was sustained effort on that 
driver was in Rocky so I would not be surprised if there are issues in 
Stein or Train. If you have fixes please contribute them upstream. 
However, I think we should still move forward with deprecation of the 
driver as a clear indication of the lack of maintainers on the driver. 
If that changes in the Ussuri release we have the option to undeprecate 
but I think it's important to clearly signal the state of maintenance 
for parts of nova so people don't start using them just to find out 
later they'll be in a bad state (which you might have already found out).
