Hi Steven and Emilien,
    I need your advice on how to proceed with the fix in 
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/521632/.

The issue in question is that code in puppet-neutron for the Nexus switch, 
performs a ping test to see if all the Nexus switches specified in the 
configuration are actually reachable.
After that it performs a ssh-keyscan and adds the list of Nexus switches to the 
list on known hosts on the Controllers.
Code can be viewed here: 
https://github.com/openstack/puppet-neutron/blob/master/manifests/plugins/ml2/cisco/nexus_creds.pp
 (starting from line #104)
I spoke to Emilien about this during the Sydney summit.

Since then I have tried a bunch of different ways to solve this problem and I 
am trying to figure out the best way to proceed:


1.       Adding retry login around the ping test: 
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/521632/2

2.       Changing the order in which Neutron ML2 plugins/services were 
initialized in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/521632/8 (Failed gate checks)

3.       I also tried to remove a dependency between the ping test and the 
ssh-keyscan steps. (code in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/521632/7)

4.       Finally, in the latest version of the fix I completely removed the 
ping test and ssh-keyscan steps to make progress. 
(https://review.openstack.org/#/c/521632/)

Although, the ping test and ssh-keyscan are not essential for the functioning 
of the Nexus driver, I would like to find a way to keep this code.

Please let me know what would be the best way to proceed.

Thanks,
Sandhya
