Lucas de Ataides 765ba29d53 Add warning about data networks with STX-O applied
Updated the Data Networks Overview documentation to include a warning
about the need to re-apply STX-Openstack after adding or assigning data
networks.
Ensures that this limitation is clearly communicated to users.

===================================
Data Networks in OpenStack Overview
===================================
Data networks are used to model the L2 Networks that nodes' data, pci-sriov
and pci-passthrough interfaces attach to.
.. note::
Data networks are required if you plan to deploy the openstack application
or provide |SRIOV| network interface access to container workloads.
A Layer 2 physical or virtual network or set of virtual networks is used to
provide the underlying network connectivity needed to support the application
project networks. Multiple data networks may be configured as required, and
realized over the same or different physical networks. Access to external
networks is typically granted to the **openstack-compute** labeled worker nodes
using the data network. The extent of this connectivity, including access to
the open internet, is application dependent.
Data networks are created at the |prod| level. Flat, |VLAN| and |VXLAN| type
data networks are supported by the |prod-os| virtual switch. For details on
creating data networks, assigning them to node interfaces, and displaying
data networks, see the following |prod| documentation:
.. important::
When adding or assigning Data Networks while |prod-os| has already
been applied, it is necessary to re-apply the application. The
|prod-os| / Platform integration does not automatically detect newly
created data networks, which could lead to connectivity issues.

<vxlan-data-networks>`.
Segmentation ID ranges for VLAN and VXLAN data networks are defined through
OpenStack Neutron commands, see :ref:`Adding Segmentation Ranges Using the CLI
