This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1917675 I am copying this bug because: Description of problem: Nova evacuate fails due to timeout waiting for a network-vif-plugged event for instance Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% evacuation after rebooting the instance Steps to Reproduce: 1. Stop a compute node: $ openstack compute service set --disable --down compute-0 nova-compute $ openstack baremetal node power off compute-0 2. Evacuate an instance on the node: nova evacuate <instance-id> 3. The status of the instance changed from ACTIVE to ERROR, finally Actual results: The status of the instance changed from ACTIVE to REBUILD, then ERROR Expected results: The status of the instance changed from ACTIVE to REBUILD, then ACTIVE Additional info: The network is OVS.
