Ping test to Cisco Nexus TORs failing frequently during Overcloud post deploy validation

[Sandhya Dasu]

During the overcloud post deploy validation step when Cisco Nexus neutron ML2 plugin is enabled, a ping test to the TORs fails. The Nexus plugin post deploy code performs a ping test to the TORs. At times, the iptables on the controllers haven't been updated to allow icmp packets yet. So, adding retires to the ping test with the assumption that the iptables would be fully updated to allow ICMP packets by then.

    Cisco: Remove ping test for Nexus switches

    Removing the ping test to the Nexus TORs because this is
    causing Overcloud deploy to fail. The iptables rules block
    all traffic at this point preventing the pings from going
    through. Also, health check for the Nexus TORs is best
    performed in ansible or during plugin initialization.
