We also run DHCP as active-active on both nodes and don’t do any failover at 
all.  Worst case, both DHCP agents respond to a client, but the lease info is 
the same from both, anyway.

Subject: Re: [Openstack-operators] Neutron DHCP failover bug

We've seen similar issues with three network nodes, 2 dhcp agents per and 
automatic failover.  We were seeing spurious failovers on a regular basis and 
we'd end up finding out about it because an instance would fail to get a lease. 
 When we investigated, usually see the issue you describe.  Automatic failover 
is on by default in Kilo, so it makes this bug much worse.  We ended up turning 
off automatic failover because of this issue.  There are other fixes for 
failover in Liberty that were never back ported to Kilo.

Hi All,

We are running Kilo and have come across this bug 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1410067

Pretty easy to replicate, have 2 network nodes, shutdown 1 of them and DHCP 
etc. moves over to the new host fine. Except doing a port-show on the DHCP port 
shows it still on the old host and in state BUILD.
Everything works but the DB is in the wrong state.

Just wondering if anyone else sees this and if so if they know the associated 
fix in Liberty that addresses this.

Cheers,
Sam
