The neutron metadata agent is stateless. It takes requests from the
metadata proxies running in the router namespaces and moves the
requests on to the nova server. If you're using HA routers, start the
neutron-metadata-agent on every machine the L3 agent runs, and just
make sure that the metadata-agent is restarted in case it crashes and
you're done. Nothing else you need to do.
