Thus the inventory manager misses those notifications and does not add the node to inventory. </p> <p>This has been observed with Helium code and may no longer happen with the rewrite in Lithium. We should however add a test where we have the device pointed to the controller before it is started to ensure that this does not happen anymore.</p> <p>Operating System: All<br/> Platform: All</p> OPNFLWPLUG-419

When a device is configured to to connect to a controller before the controller is started, the device may not show up in inventory

OFP and other managers have a dependency on odl-mdsal-broker and hence they are not re-instantiated and re-wired.</p> <p>I tested installing odl-openflowplugin-all (He, and not odl-openflowplugin-all-li) and this issue was not seen.</p> <p>I can write an integration test, but i am lowering the priority for this one.</p> <p>Had a discussion with Moiz. Seems the problem can arise in Li as well.</p> <p>The inventory-manager gets loaded as part of Southbound but is not guaranteed to load after openflowplugin.</p> <p>This seems to be a classic producer-consumer issue, where the consumer needs to be updated with the latest state if loaded later than the producer.</p> <p>This is true for any client apps which might be dependent on inv notifications and might get loaded (or reloaded) later than OFP.</p> <p>Moving this to Be.</p> <p>As part of the Li design, the inventory manager does not exist.</p> Development External issue ID 3064 External issue URL Issue Type ODL SR Target Milestone Priority Rank 0|i0311b:
