Using latest RDO Icehouse with RHEL 6.5 (fully updated).

When using OVS VLAN segmentation, after restarting neutron-openvswitch-agent, the logs show

Error: argument "peer" is wrong: "name" too long

The command it's trying to run is

ip link add int-br-eth0.2017 type veth peer name phy-br-eth0.2017

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Check the error, looks like the ip command is wrong. Have you tried reading man ip-link?

ip link add accepts max 15 characters long name, so in your case renaming link name to phy-br-et0.2017 will do the work.
