Overview and pre-requisites
|
|
|
|
This is a Quantum plugin that can talk to a set of NVP controllers and
|
|
implements the core Quantum v2 api. In order to use it you must have
|
|
Nicira NVP running and configured. You must also have Quantum installed
|
|
and configured.
|
|
|
|
NVP Plugin configuration
|
|
|
|
1) Database configuration
|
|
The NVP plugin leverages the Quantum database. The following connection
|
|
parameters should be specified:
|
|
- sql_connection: Database connection string
|
|
- sql_max_retries: Maximum number of connection attempts (default 10)
|
|
- reconnect_interval: Gap between connection attempts (default 2 seconds)
|
|
2) NVP (general)
|
|
- max_lp_per_bridged_ls: Maximum number of ports of a logical switch on a
|
|
bridged transport zone (default 64)
|
|
- concurrent_connections: Number of connects to each controller node
|
|
(default 3)
|
|
- nvp_gen_timout: Number of seconds a generation id should be valid for
|
|
(default -1 meaning do not time out)
|
|
3) NVP cluster
|
|
The Quantum NVP plugin allow for configuring multiple clusters.
|
|
Each cluster configuration section must be declared in the following way
|
|
in the configuration file: [CLUSTER:cluster_name].
|
|
The following parameters can be configured for each cluster:
|
|
- default_tz_uuid: This is uuid of the default NVP Transport zone that
|
|
will be used for creating tunneled isolated "Quantum" networks. It
|
|
needs to be created in NVP before starting Quantum with the nvp plugin.
|
|
- nova_zone_id: Optional parameter identifying the Nova "zone" that maps
|
|
to this NVP cluster.
|
|
- nvp_cluster_uuid: Optional paramter identifying the UUID of the cluster
|
|
in NVP. This can be retrieved from NVP management console "admin" section.
|
|
- nvp_controller_connetion: describes a connection to a single NVP
|
|
controller. A different connection for each controller in the cluster can
|
|
be specified; there must be at least one connection per cluster.
