To Run:
# -- Background
0) Make it the current quantum plugin
The quantum openvswitch plugin is a simple plugin that allows you to manage
connectivity between VMs on hypervisors running openvswitch.
edit ../../plugins.ini and change the provider line to be:
The quantum openvswitch plugin consists of two components:
1) The plugin itself: The plugin uses a database backend (mysql for now) to
store configuration and mappings that will be used later by the agent.
2) An agent which runs on the hypervisor (dom0) and communicates with
openvswitch.
The sections below describe how to configure and run the quantum service with
the openvswitch plugin.
# -- Nova configuration
- Make sure to set up nova using flat networking. Also, make sure that the
integration bridge (see below under agent configuration) matches the
flat_network_bridge specified in your nova flag file. Here are the relevant
entries from my nova flag file.
--network_manager=nova.network.manager.FlatManager
--flat_network_bridge=xapi1
# -- Quantum configuration
Make the openvswitch plugin the current quantum plugin
- edit ../../plugins.ini and change the provider line to be:
provider = quantum.plugins.openvswitch.ovs_quantum_plugin.OVSQuantumPlugin
1) On the "Openstack Controller" host:
# -- Database config. The OVS quantum service requires access to a mysql
# database in order to store configuration and mappings that will be used by
# the agent. Here is how to set up the database on the host that you will be
# running the quantum service on.
MySQL should be installed on the host, and all plugins and clients must be
configured with access to the database.
To prep mysql, run:
mysql -u root -p -e "create database ovs_naas"
$ mysql -u root -p -e "create database ovs_quantum"
2) Edit the configuration file (src/ovs/plugins/ovs_quantum_plugin.ini)
Make sure any xenserver running the ovs quantum agent will be able to communicate with the host running the quantum service:
- Make sure it matches your mysql configuration. This file must be updated
with the addresses and credentials to access the database.
//log in to mysql service
$ mysql -u root -p
//grant access to user-remote host combination
mysql> GRANT USAGE ON *.* to root@'yourremotehost' IDENTIFIED BY 'newpassword';
//force update of authorization changes
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
3) Create the agent distribution tarball
# -- Plugin configuration.
- Edit the configuration file (ovs_quantum_plugin.ini). Make sure it matches
your mysql configuration. This file must be updated with the addresses and
credentials to access the database. This file will be included in the agent
distribution tarball (see below) and the agent will use the credentials here
to access the database.
# -- Agent configuration
- Create the agent distribution tarball
$ make agent-dist
- Copy the resulting tarball to your xenserver(s) (copy to dom0, not the nova
compute node)
- Unpack the tarball and run install.sh. This will install all of the
necessary pieces into /etc/xapi.d/plugins. It will also spit out the name
of the integration bridge that you'll need for your nova configuration.
- Run the agent [on your hypervisor (dom0)]:
$ /etc/xapi.d/plugins/ovs_quantum_agent.py /etc/xapi.d/plugins/ovs_quantum_plugin.ini
4) Copy the resulting tarball to your xenserver(s)
5) Unpack the tarball and run install.sh. This will install all of the
necessary pieces into /etc/xapi.d/plugins.
6) Run the agent (example below):
# /etc/xapi.d/plugins/ovs_quantum_agent.py /etc/xapi.d/plugins/ovs_quantum_plugin.ini
7) Start quantum
# -- Getting quantum up and running
- Start quantum [on the quantum service host]:
~/src/quantum-framework$ PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python bin/quantum etc/quantum.conf
- Run ovs_quantum_plugin.py via the quantum plugin framework cli [on the
quantum service host]
~/src/quantum-framework$ PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python -a quantum/cli.py
8) Run ovs_quantum_plugin.py via the quantum plugin framework cli.
This will show help all of the available commands.
- Edit quantum/plugins.ini to point to where the plugin and configuration
files live
An example session looks like this:
~/src/quantum-framework$ PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH python quantum/cli.py
$ export TENANT=t1
$ PYTHONPATH=. python quantum/cli.py -v -a create_net $TENANT network1
Created a new Virtual Network with ID:e754e7c0-a8eb-40e5-861a-b182d30c3441
$ export NETWORK=e754e7c0-a8eb-40e5-861a-b182d30c3441
$ PYTHONPATH=. python quantum/cli.py -v -a create_port $TENANT $NETWORK
Created Virtual Port:5a1e121b-ccc8-471d-9445-24f15f9f854c on Virtual Network:e754e7c0-a8eb-40e5-861a-b182d30c3441
$ export PORT=5a1e121b-ccc8-471d-9445-24f15f9f854c
$ PYTHONPATH=. python quantum/cli.py -v -a plug_iface $TENANT $NETWORK $PORT ubuntu1-eth1
Plugged interface "ubuntu1-eth1" to port:5a1e121b-ccc8-471d-9445-24f15f9f854c on network:e754e7c0-a8eb-40e5-861a-b182d30c3441
$ PYTHONPATH=. python quantum/cli.py -v -a plug_iface $TENANT $NETWORK $PORT ubuntu2-eth1
Plugged interface "ubuntu2-eth1" to port:5a1e121b-ccc8-471d-9445-24f15f9f854c on network:e754e7c0-a8eb-40e5-861a-b182d30c3441
This will show all of the available commands.
Now you should have connectivity between ubuntu1-eth1 and ubuntu2-eth1..
# -- Other items
- To get a listing of the vif names that the ovs quantum service will expect
them in, issue the following command on the hypervisor (dom0):
$ for vif in `xe vif-list params=uuid --minimal | sed s/,/" "/g`; do echo $(xe vif-list params=vm-name-label uuid=${vif} --minimal)-eth$(xe vif-list params=device uuid=${vif} --minimal); done
