DNS records not created with pre-created port

[Sridhar Venkat]

I created a port using neutron port-create. And used it to create a nova instance.

I do not see DNS record created in Infoblox. I am using network name for zone pattern and instance name for DNS hostname pattern.

Is this scenario supported?

May I add to this: When the DNS/DHCP Support is True, IP Allocation Strategy is Host Record, the sync_neutron_to_infoblox.py script would error. The error would go away when DNS/DHCP Support is changed to False during the script execution, under this condition, this script will not create any Host Record for pre-existing Openstack Ports. The error varies depending on the recovery attempts, here is a sample:

ERROR __main__ [req-5a80dc52-416b-452c-b406-daa1a55b418a - - - - -] Error occurred: DHCP member is not reserved for network view: (Openstack), cidr (10.1.1.0/24)

I am using IOA 2.0.1 with Openstack Liberty and Infoblox 7.3.4

From @raghava-mulugu who tested with the latest master code.

IP Allocation Strategy : Host Record, with this configuration host record created under zone with UUID
IP Allocation Strategy : Fixed Address, with this configuration Fixed address reserved in DHCP, but there is no “A” record created under zone

    add bind/unbind login on port update

    When nova attach/detach existing port "port-update" notification
    arrived. But we do nothing for this notification so A record for
    attached port has wrong name.
    Add code to bind/unbind names when port attached/detached.
