[Xen-API] Question about VM.create

[Fabien Hermenier <fabien.hermenier@xxxxxx>]

Hy
I'm starting using the xen api to perform basic operations on vm. I  
use Xen 3.2.1, my VMs use a nfsroot filesystem with an initrd.
I used to start my VMs using "xm create -f ...", it worked fine. Here  
is a sample config file:
----
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64-VM"
root = "/dev/nfs"
nfs_server = '192.168.0.1'
gateway = "192.168.0.1"
netmask = "255.255.255.0"
extra = "xencons=tty1 clocksource=jiffies";
vif = [ 'ip=192.168.0.193' ]
ip="192.168.0.193"
hostname="tinyLenny1"
name="tinyLenny1"
memory=128
---

Now, I want to execute the same task using xenapi (I use a JAVA- 
binding).
So first, I use VM.create() to create my VM with the kernel params to  
use the ramdisk and to configure the network interface.
Then, I create a VIF interface using VIF.create(), I specify again the  
IP and associate it to the VM UUID previously created.
Finally, I start the VM.

On the console I see the IP-config of the ramdisk with the good  
values. But after this step, My VM hangs with a timeout: the server  
can not be connected.
I have read the documentation and others posts, but no solutions  
appear to be good in my situation.
Does anyone has a hint, or a custom protocol to create a VM (using  
NFSroot) and boot it using xenapi ?
Thanks in advance
