How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. systemctl enable ovn-controller
2. Reboot server.
3. systemctl status ovn-controller

Good find, this also applies to the ovn-northd and ovn-controller-vtep
services.

Comment 2 Lance Richardson 2016-11-21 22:54:33 UTC

Patch posted upstream:

   https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/697445/

Also noticed when testing that ovn-common rpm installation fails if
pacemaker has not been installed, posted a patch for that issue as
well:
