I am installing OpenStack icehouse on 4 VMs (1 controller node, 1 networking node and 2 compute nodes) running on HP server with ESXi 5.0 hypervisor for a school project.

Below is a log on the dashboard when I tried launching an instance:

Message: Unexpected vif_type=binding_failed

Code: 500

I have been stuck with the problem for about 2 days and I have tried going over the installation steps again but could not find any solution. Please, I need help.

Thank you.
