Create a DHCP-Profile and a Metadata-Proxy in NSX backend
Stop Neutron
Install version 1.1.0 Neutron plugin
Run admin tools to migrate version 1.0.0 objects to version 1.1.0 objects

nsxadmin -r metadata-proxy -o nsx-update --property metadata_proxy_uuid=<UUID of Metadata-Proxy created in Step 2>

nsxadmin -r dhcp-binding -o nsx-update --property dhcp_profile_uuid=<UUID of DHCP-Profile created in Step 2>
Start Neutron
Make sure /etc/nova/nova.conf has metadata_proxy_shared_secret = <Secret of Metadata-Proxy created in Step 2>
Restart VMs or ifdown/ifup their network interface to get new DHCP options

Steps to create a TVD admin user

Do the following steps::: source devstack/openrc admin admin openstack project create admin_v --domain=default --or-show -f value -c id openstack user create admin_v --password password --domain=default --email=alt_demo@example.com --or-show -f value -c id openstack role add admin --user <user-id> --project <admin-id>
Or run:: devstack/tools/create_userrc.sh
Then:: openstack project plugin create --plugin nsx-v <project-id>
