Oh, one thing to note... I did all of the above on hosts (VMs) where
NetworkManager was removed. I should try on hosts where NM is enabled
to see if I still have success...
Ok, semi-encouraging results. Here's what I did.
Test environment:
* RDO Grizzly
* 114.openstack.gre.2 kernel on RHEL 6.4.z
* single VM for an allinone install with eth0 as the NIC on the VM
Tests run were:
(a) booting cirros instance
(b) check for dhcp lease
(c) outbound connectivity from guest
(d) ping/ssh to FIP
* NM enabled and eth0 on the host with NM_CONTROLLED=yes
a+ b+ c+ d-
* I reran the base test above to double check that I could repeat the
failure
a+ b+ c+ d+
So... inconsistent results. I'd like to see what other folks find, and
if anyone else has issues with NM being enabled. As of right now, I
don't have enough data to say that it is problematic or not.
