Known Issues and Limitations

There is a known issue in all Icehouse releases that results in Neutron DHCP agent constantly resyncing its state once a network and a subnet is created with a gateway outside of it. To avoid this, users are encouraged to set force_gateway_on_subnet to True in neutron.conf. See Bug 1304181

Operators of existing Neutron Icehouse ML2 based deployments will need to apply the following SQL statement to their Neutron database. This is to fix a race condition in agent status report updates. See Bug 1254246:

 ALTER TABLE agents ADD CONSTRAINT uniq_agents0agent_type0host UNIQUE (agent_type, host);

A new runtime dependency on conntrack-tools in L3 agent sneaked in the release. This is an issue for at least one of target distributions for Icehouse (specifically, RHEL6/RHEL7), so a revert for the patch that introduced the dependency was requested: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/132052/ Packagers of 2014.1.3 release are left with dilemma: either they also revert the patch in their downstream packages, or they introduce a new runtime conntrack-tools dependency for Neutron L3 agent.
