enabling nova VIF driver operation in a quantum plugin

Hi Folks,

Trying to see what's the right way to accomplish this. I'm prototyping a quantum plugin and for some of the operations, it is a pass-through to the nova VIF driver. For example, for create_port operation, I want the nova driver to assign the IP address to the VM.

This is what the create_port in my plugin looks like :

    def create_port(self, context, port):
        return super(MyQuantumPluginV2, self).create_port(context, port)

I use this command to create a VM
nova boot --image image_name --flavor m1.tiny --nic net-id=12be9b0f-a97a-4ab1-8307-d7cc5cd8564c --key-name test my_server

When the VM comes up, it has the virtual interface plumbed in, but the IP address is not assigned.

I can see in the log that an IP address was assigned to the port :

('create port completed {} {}', {'status': 'ACTIVE', 'device_owner': u'compute:None', 'name': '', 'mac_address': 'fa:16:3e:2d:33:92', 'network_id': u'12be9b0f-a97a-4ab1-8307-d7cc5cd8564c', 'tenant_id': u'61ab6bf71f644419bcfdeb8528cb3f5c', 'admin_state_up': True, 'fixed_ips': [{'subnet_id': u'9de0b387-576c-4898-a472-319b39a0e7b0', 'ip_address': u'30.0.0.6'}], 'id': '25c02aa6-7f21-4399-9ae6-41520dd97a8f', 'device_id': u'a664d6e9-6975-4b5d-b7af-1b81b2f67296'}, [{'subnet_id': u'9de0b387-576c-4898-a472-319b39a0e7b0', 'ip_address': u'30.0.0.6'}])

I probably am missing something here, any thoughts ?

Thanks !
