The following patch fixes the core_plugin path in the README file
which broke during the rename of quantum to neutron here ee3fe4e8.
This patch also updates a few of the default values and removes
the promise of adding support for multiple control clusters.

Overview and pre-requisites
|
|
|
|
This is a Neutron plugin that can talk to a set of NVP controllers and
|
|
implements the core Neutron v2 api. In order to use it you must have
|
|
Nicira NVP running and configured. You must also have Neutron installed
|
|
and configured.
|
|
|
|
NVP Plugin configuration
|
|
|
|
1) Database configuration
|
|
The NVP plugin leverages the Neutron database. The following connection
|
|
parameters should be specified:
|
|
- connection: Database connection string
|
|
- max_retries: Maximum number of connection attempts (default 10)
|
|
- retry_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 5000)
|
|
- concurrent_connections: Number of connects to each controller node
|
|
(default 10)
|
|
- nvp_gen_timout: Number of seconds a generation id should be valid for
|
|
(default -1 meaning do not time out)
|
|
3) NVP cluster
|
|
By default the Neutron NVP plugin can talk to multiple controllers in a
|
|
single cluster.
|
|
The following parameters can be configured:
|
|
- default_tz_uuid: This is uuid of the default NVP Transport zone that
|
|
will be used for creating tunneled isolated "Neutron" networks. It
|
|
needs to be created in NVP before starting Neutron with the nvp plugin.
|
|
- nvp_controllers: describes the list of controllers
|
|
More details can be found in etc/neutron/plugins/nicira/nvp.ini

|
Neutron Configuration
|
|
|
|
Modify your Neutron configuration for using the NVP Plugin:
|
|
|
|
core_plugin = neutron.plugins.nicira.NeutronPlugin.NvpPluginV2
