Is is worth to mention that it is not possible to use compute nodes in this

Limitations
===========
Nested clusters are not supported
---------------------------------
vCenter inventory allows user to form hierarchy by organizing vSphere entities
into folders. Clusters by default are created on first level of hierarchy, then
they can be put into folders. Plugin supports clusters that are located on
first level of hierarchy, if you have cluster inside folder that you want to
use it for OpenStack you have to put it on first level of hierarchy.
Compute node is not supported
-----------------------------
Is is worth to mention that it is not possible to use compute nodes in
vCenter/NSX cluster, because NSX v6.x switch is available only for ESXi, so it
is not possible to pass traffic inside compute node that runs Linux and KVM.
Public floating IP range is ignored
-----------------------------------
Fuel requires that floating IP range must be within *Public* IP range. This
requirement does not make sense with NSXv plugin, because edge nodes provide
connectivity for virtual machines, not controllers. Nevertheless floating IP
range for *Public* network must be assigned. Plugin provides it own field for
floating IP range.

Pay attention that Neutron L2/L3 configuration on Settings tab does not have
effect in OpenStack cluster that uses NSXv. These settings contain settings
for GRE tunneling which does not have an effect with NSXv.
Private network is not used
---------------------------
It does not matter on which network interface you assign *Private* network
traffic, because it does not flow through controllers. Nevertheless IP range
for *Private* network must be assigned.
OpenStack environment reset/deletion
------------------------------------
Fuel NSXv plugin does not provide cleanup mechanism when OpenStack environment
gets reset or deleted. All logical switches and edge virtual machines remain
intact, it is up to operator to delete them and free resources.
Ceph block storage is not supported

Usage
=====
Easiest way to check that plugin works as expected would be trying to create
network or router using ``neutron`` command line client:
::
[root@nailgun ~]# ssh node-4 # node-4 is a controller node
root@node-4:~# . openrc
root@node-4:~# neutron router-create r1
You can monitor plugin actions in ``/var/log/neutron/server.log`` and see how
edges appear in list of ``Networking & Security -> NSX Edges`` pane in vSphere
Web Client. If you see error messages check :ref:`Troubleshooting
<troubleshooting>` section.
