Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Easily having a OVN LB HM port with device_owner=network:distributed and another ovn-metadata ports. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a OVN LB Health monitor 2. Run neutron-db-sync tool Actual results: OVN-metadata port will dissapear if its uuid is "bigger" than the OVN LB HM port uuid. Expected results: OVN metadata and OVN LB HM port are not deleted.
