While Ironic has not explicitly added support for OVN, because that is
|
|
in theory a Neutron implementation detail, we have added some basic
|
|
testing and are pleased to announce that you can use OVN's DHCP service
|
|
for IPv4 based provisioning with OVN v23.06.00 and beyond. This is not
|
|
without issues, and we've added
|
|
`ovn documentation <https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/ovn-networking.html>`_
|
|
as a result to help provide as much Ironic operator clarity as possible.
|
|
issues:
|
|
- |
|
|
Use of OVN may require disabling SNAT for provisioning with IPv4 when
|
|
using TFTP. This is due to the Linux Kernel, and how IP packet handling
|
|
occurs with OVN. No solution is known to this issue, and use of
|
|
provisioning technologies which do *not* use TFTP is also advisable.
|
|
- |
|
|
Use of OVN may require careful attention to the MTUs of networks.
|
|
Oversized packets and networking may be dropped. That being said this
|
|
is more likely an issue for testing than with actual physical baremetal
|
|
in a production deployment.
|
|
- |
|
|
Use of OVN for IPv6 based PXE/iPXE is not supported by Neutron.
|
|
The Ironic project expects this to be addressed during the Caracal
|
|
(2024.1) development cycle.
