Interfaces on slaves:
eth0 - admin(PXE)
eth1 - public
eth2 - management
eth3 - VM(Fixed) VLAN ID:103
eth4 - storage

Steps to reproduce:
1. deploy lab using iso : 6.1 build 92
2. create env with parameters:
-OS: any (as example I uses Ubuntu)
-hypervisor: vcenter
-settings for vcenter :
VCENTER_IP=172.16.0.254
<email address hidden>
VCENTER_PASSWORD=Qwer!1234
VCENTER_CLUSTERS=Cluster1

-networking setup: default
-storage backends: vmware esxi for glance and cinder
with settings:

vcenter/ESXi IP: 172.16.0.254
username: <email address hidden>
password: Qwer!1234
Datastore name: nfs
Datacenter name: Datacenter
Datastore Images directory: /openstack_glance

-additional services: default

3. click on create nodes button and add:
 - 1 node with role : cinder
 - 1 node with role: controller
   then start deployment
4. in Fuel UI check that provisioning process on node with Cinder role has already been finished, but on node with controller role is still in provisioning status and after more than 30 min. it looks like it is hanging on.

5. check that in Virtual Manager all slaves have already been provisioned (compare uses mac addressed)

Reason:
Ubuntu came up after provisioning and run SNTP (something like 'sntp ubuntu.pool.ntp.org') to adjust date and time. It received a wrong data '1970-01-01 00:00:05' but after the data was applied the system time became 'Wed Aug 19 20:15:33 UTC 2037'.

After reboot, SNTP updated the time to 19 Aug, 2036
And after that NTPD couldn't start because of another process was using an UDP port.
