Hi all,

we have the following setup:
- Openstack Ocata deployed with Openstack Ansible (v15.1.7)
- 66 compute nodes, each having between 50 and 150 VMs, depending on their 
hardware configuration
- we don't use Ceilometer (so not adding extra load on RabbitMQ cluster)
- using Openvswitch HA with DVR
- all messaging are going through a 3 servers RabbitMQ cluster
- we now have 3 CCs hosting (initially had 2) hosting every other internal 
service

What happens is, when we create a large number of VMs (it's something we do on 
a daily basis, just to test different types of VMs and apps, around 300 VMs), 
there are some of them that don't get the network interface attached in a 
reasonable time.
After investigating, we can see that Neutron Openvswitch agent sees the port 
attached to the server, from an Openstack point of view, I can see the tap 
interface created in Openvswitch using both its logs and dmesg, but I can see 
nova attaching the interface after a huge amount of time. (I could see even 45 
minutes delay)

Since I can't see any reasonable errors I could take care of, my last chance is 
this mailing list.
Only thing I can think of, is that maybe libvirt is not able to attach the 
interface in a reasonable amount of time. But still, 45 minutes is way too much.

At the moment:
vif_plugging_is_fatal = True
vif_plugging_timeout = 600 (modified from default 300s)

That's because we needed VMs with networking. Otherwise, if either with error, 
either with no network, it's the same thing for us.

Thanks,
