Comment 23 for bug 1293480

I'm finding that the delay patch is ineffective for larger VMs. On my servers, when the VM has more than about 16G of memory, it can take more than 15 seconds for the new one to start up on reboot.

Turning off lifecycle event management doesn't work either ... because then if the VM is shutdown from inside (user types "shutdown", "halt", etc), nova doesn't know, and thinks it's still up and active.

Still not sure what the right solution is .... maybe to not try and destroy the VM when it has already shutdown by itself... ?
