Right, so the question now is whether there are plans to change this. It
doesn't seem desirable to be showing DOWN status when things are functional, so
I'm nervous about relying on this behavior to allow mac address update to work.
If future plans involved ironic providing port status, and did it in such a
way that the status would not be ACTIVE when there's a mac address mismatch
(for example), it would make me feel better. :)
I guess I'm a worrier. I could see a user filing a bug and someone fixes it
and no more mac addr updates

Yes, its to be expected. IIRC, you were helping me investigate the same thing
at the TripleO mid-cycle. :) The port gets the necessary configuration setup by
the DHCP agent to take care of PXE, but this being baremetal there is no
hypervisor on which some agent is running and plugging VIFs into a vSwitch
ports at the compute host level. We rely (at least in devstack) on a flat
networking environment setup where baremetal nodes are already tapped into the
tenant network namespace without the help of the agents. I believe devtest sets
up something similar on the host thats running the devtest VMs. The end result
is ports showing DOWN tho they are functional.

Hi all,
I'm working on bug [1] and have code in review[2]. The bug wants neutron's
port['mac_address'] to be updatable to handle the case where an ironic server's
nic is replaced. A comment in the review suggests that we only allow mac
address update when the port status is not ACTIVE. While I've made another
change which may (or may not) address the underlying concern, I want to ask if
port status is correct for ironic server ports. When I run devtest (tripleo)
on my laptop, I get VM ironic servers, which when booted all have neutron ports
with 'binding:vif_type': 'binding_failed' and 'status': 'DOWN'. Is this
expected? Does this happen with hardware ironic servers?
Thanks in advance!
