Hi All,

My instances are timing out while obtaining their meta-data. They are being spawned on the same controller node in which I am running nova-network and nova-api services. The networks are being provisioned through the Quantum V2 API. I have enabled meta-data in my nova.conf. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?. Thanks /
