PowerVC verbose EGO mesages during startup

PowerVC startup generates a number of errors related to EGO as required services are not yet started
Example;
nova-ibm-ego-ha-service: 2015-10-23 13:55:
58.612 1406 ERROR nova.scheduler.ibm.ego.ego_handler [-] Platform
Resource Scheduler could not connect to EGO due to (EGO error code: 25,
EGO error message: The cluster is not responding). Start up EGO if EGO
is not running, otherwise wait one or two minutes to allow EGO to start
up.

Ideally PowerVC would not report these errors during startup when EGO will ALWAYS need to wait OR design a pause into EGO startup to allow required services to start

    Thanks. The PowerVC services are designed to work in a distributed fashion. In this case, EGO is another service outside of the standard OpenStack services and we don't want to hold up the system on EGO initializing. And we don't want to suppress the messages for the case where perhaps EGO really is down. I understand the concern, but on the flip side, you can see that the connection was initialized shortly thereafter and I think this will help isolate *real* problems. Ultimately this is a concern just at application restart time and doesn't have any actual ill side effects and can be quickly eliminated as cause for concern when you see that the connection is established. Thanks!
