Public bug reported: This nova commit: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova/commit/?id=a8a5d44c8aca218f00649232c2b8a46aee59b77e made VNIC_TYPE a compulsory port bindings attribute.
This broke the NSX plugin which is now not able to boot VMs anymore. Probably other plugins are affected. Whether VNIC_TYPE is really a required attribute questionable; the fact that port bindings is such a messy interface that can cause this kind of breakages is at least annoying. Regardless, all plugins must now adapt. This will also be fixed once a general fix for bug 1370077 is introduced - nevertheless, the NSX plugin can't risk staying broken for more time, and also its 3rd party integration tests are disabled because of this. For this reason we're opening a bug specific for this plugin to fast-track a fix for it. ** Affects: neutron Importance: High Assignee: Salvatore Orlando (salvatore-orlando) Status: In Progress ** Tags: vmware -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
