There are at least two more steps involved in creating an Octavia LB than I thought a few days ago because it seems you must also create an octavia flavor first:
I discovered this by trying to create an LB using the dashboard. I am able to create LBs 'successfully' under Horizon but I cannot ping6 them from the octavia unit and assigning FIPs doesn't seem to work. It says it has assigned the FIP in a notification pop-up but it doesn't show the FIP as being assigned on the LB info page.
