When the plugin starts it will check if the global NS group and OS DFW section are created on the NSX. If not it will create these. There is a edge case where two servers are started in parallel and they both create the default section. This will lead to traffic being dropped. This is dealt with in the following way: 1. We store the default OS section and NS group in the database 2. If the entries do not exist then we create them, the DB will indicate if there is a duplicate and then the plugin will do a cleanup of the incorrect resources. In order to do this we need asecurity group. A default global one with ID 00000000-def0-0000-0fed-000000000000 is created. If the admin wishes to delete the global section then she/he should: 1. delete the NSX section 2. delete the security group 3. restart the neutron service Change-Id: Ide7a7c75efac3e49d51e522a11c77e754f3d1447
