The virt driver interface assumes that init_host is called before any other query to the virt driver. The libvirt virt driver cannot fully function otherwise. If any connection is made to the hypervisor before driver.init_host then the libvirt lifecycle events will not function and libvirt returns the warning: URI qemu:///system does not support events: internal error: could not initialize domain event timer: libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: could not initialize domain event timer During the first startup of the nova-compute service ComputeManager.init_host checks if the hypervisor has any instances to detect if this is not really the first start of the compute service on the host. But that code path happens before ComputeManager.init_host initialize the virt driver via driver.init_host. This patch reorders the calls to make sure the driver is initialized before use.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
