[one-users] After onehost enable: host in "init" state and not immediately usable

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi Michael,

You email, describes the current behavior of OpenNebula. I'm afraid
that currently the only way to tune this behavior is through the
timers. I've opened a ticket to implement this feature:

http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/1868

Probably it should be a good idea to trigger a monitor action when you
enabled a host.

Thanks for your feedback

Ruben
