I've been running the ODL Clustering CSIT job from stable/oxygen and analyzing failures, as part of the clustering stabilization effort.

During one of these runs, the cluster fails to go to sync status after ODL is restarted (Tell based False). I looked at the node that failed to sync, and see that karaf took just a little over 7 minutes to start up for this test case.

Here are the relevant karaf logs:

I'll also attach the (annotated) karaf log.
