Comment 4 for bug 1544195

I just tested this on master. It works now! (at least on DevStack):

- with Ironic set w/o multitenancy support, it works only with ports pre-created in what Ironic treats as provisioning network (by default in DevStack the 'private' one). This is expected for such mode of Ironic deployment

- with Ironic set with multitenancy support (e.g. see the job gate-tempest-dsvm-ironic-multitenant-network-nv for configuration example) it works with any port (I've created a new network with subnet, created a port there and successfully provisioned a Nova instance on Ironic node with this port provided to 'nova boot').

Two questions to John though:

- what do you mean by 'depending on network backend'? Do you know of any example where it would not work? What are requirements for the network backend for this to work?

- Would it be possible to backport this patch at least to Mitaka?
