[Openstack] nova ip 169.254.169.254

This is part of IBM Smart Cloud Orchestrator which is running openstack as
the backend.  I compared my IPtables to a working environment and it looks
fine. I have rebooted and restarted. The VM's are getting a 169 route but
can't ping.
The only place I can ping is on the Region server which is where the 169
address sits.

Few troubleshooting steps (assuming neutron's metadata agent):
1. Check through VM's console.log whether VMs are acquiring DHCP Ip address
2. If not, check all the bridges (on both controller and compute) up and
running s (br-int or br-tun), generally on reboot some of these bridges do
not come up.
3. If yes to #1, restart neutron-metadata-agent

If you are using neutron's nova metadata agent, it runs a process per
network, then uses a domain socket to escape the network namespace and
communicate with a parent that talks to nova.

If you are using nova-networking, its handled by an iptables DNAT rule to
take incoming requests and forward them to the actual API IP address/port.
