Comment 4 for bug 1674946

Scott,

Would you be willing to consider adding the “dvs” type to the list of physical types in openstack.py? This is the change I made and it appears to have fixed the issue. It will also allow us to more quickly get a fix via an official channel (download newer version of cloud-init) rather than waiting for our OpenStack vendor to provide a new release of their distribution (which would take some time).

Best regards,

Lars, yes. I'd considered that, but as it is cloud-init is raising a
ValueError saying "I dont know what this type is". And then basically
not going on. If we change it to assume 'phy', then it will silently
leave that block of code and fail somewhere else less obvious when it
tries to configure this unknown link type as if it were a 'phy'.

I'll throw up a merge proposal for the DVS type and if you can ack that i'll merge it.
Also, thank you for the ACK on the openstack.
