<title>Quantum Usage</title>
<section>
<title>Overview</title>
<para>Murano does support both Nova Network and Quantum, and support advanced network management in case of
Quantum. Advanced network management essentially means explicit (from Murano point of view) network
management per environment. Murano creates private network and attache it to the first found external
network for each environment. This functionality is based on Quantum deployed as
<link xlink:href="http://docs.openstack.org/network-admin/admin/content/use_cases_mixed.html">Per-tenant
Routers with Private Networks</link> and not going to work when Quantum is deployed as
<link xlink:href="http://docs.openstack.org/network-admin/admin/content/use_cases_mixed.html">Mixed Flat and
Private Network</link>.
</para>
<para><emphasis>Mixed Flat and Private Network</emphasis> supported in Nova Network and it is default configuration for
Murano v0.3.
</para>
<para>With advanced networking schemes like <emphasis>Per-tenant Routers with Private Networks</emphasis> additional configuration and patches for OpenStack components
are required. Different set of templates for Heat stacks is used in Murano Conductor.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Patching Murano</title>
<para>To enable support for advanced network management in Murano we need to replace default templates for
Heat stacks used in Murano Conductor. All necessary templates available in our git repository:</para>
<screen>
git clone http://github.com/stackforge/murano-deployment
git checkout 0.3
</screen>
<para>Templates for Heat stacks are located in <emphasis>data</emphasis> directory. Please, overwrite them with
content of <emphasis>quantum_support/conductor/data/templates/cf</emphasis> directory checked out above.</para>

<title>Patching OpenStack</title>
<para>OpenStack Grizzly missing a few features that already implemented in the latest Havana release, or merged
to Icehouse. We ported that features to OpenStack Grizzly and they available as set of .patch files. In order to
use advanced network management we need to apply that patches ether to sources or to already installed packages.

<title>Known Issues</title>
<para>Internet Information Services Web Farm &amp; ASP.NET Application Web Farm services does not work when
Murano configured to support <emphasis>Per-tenant Routers with Private Networks</emphasis>. This services are
based on Heat, particularly on resource called AWS::ElasticLoadBalancing::LoadBalancer, that currently does
not support specification of any network related parameters. Without support for network configuration
specification LoadBalancer does not work on OpenStack deployments with Quantum deployed as
<emphasis>Per-tenant Routers with Private Networks</emphasis>.</para>
