Hi,

so, nova says the VM is ACTIVE and actually boots with no network. We are 
setting some metadata that we use later on and have cloud-init for different 
tasks.
So, VM is up, OS is running, but network is working after a random amount of 
time, that can get to around 45 minutes. Thing is, is not happening to all VMs 
in that test (around 300), but it's happening to a fair amount - around 25%.

I can see the callback coming few seconds after neutron openvswitch agent says 
it's completed the setup. My question is, why is it taking so long for nova 
openvswitch agent to configure the port? I can see the port up in both host OS 
and openvswitch. I would assume it's doing the whole namespace and iptables 
setup. But still, 30 minutes? Seems a lot!

Thanks,
Radu

I think we turned it off because the callback code was initially buggy and nova 
would wait forever while things were in fact ok, but I'll  change 
"vif_plugging_is_fatal = True" and "vif_plugging_timeout = 300" and run another 
large test, just to confirm.

We usually run these large tests after a version upgrade to test the APIs under 
load.

Sure, except you can't ssh into the guests.

The whole reason the vif plugging is fatal and timeout and callback code was 
because the upstream CI was unstable without it. The server would report as 
ACTIVE but the ports weren't wired up so ssh would fail. Having an ACTIVE guest 
that you can't actually do anything with is kind of pointless.
