[d032956]

• Title: with neutron port-show we get lbaas VIP binding_failed
• Details: We have two productive openstack locations. We have created an lbaas-loadbalancer, listener pool and pool member. The setup works fine. But the neutron port for the LBaaS VIP is in error state

Severity: Severity 3 (Medium)

Severity level definitions:

2. Severity 2 (High) : Defect is causing major obstruction of system operations.
3. Severity 3 (Medium) : Defect is causing intermittent errors in system operations.
4. Severity 4 (Low) : Defect is causing infrequent interuptions in system operations.
5. Severity 5 (Trival) : Defect is not causing any interuptions to system operations, but none-the-less is a bug.

Description

[d032956]

A good solution for this topic is that neutron have a new port_binding status type = reserverd .
This solution requires a change in the neutron code . We can support you with a blueprint for this change.

I guess this is a duplicate to: #127

As @d032956 mentioned - setting the state manually after the port create can cause strange behaviors if an actual port binding is needed. I would suggest to add a special "binding:vnic_type" that signals neutron that this is a reservation only.
