 Configuring Nicira NVP Plugin

To configure Quantum to use the NVP plugin first edit /etc/quantum/quantum.conf and set:

core_plugin = quantum.plugins.nicira.nicira_nvp_plugin.QuantumPlugin.NvpPluginV2

Edit /etc/quantum/plugins/nicira/nvp.ini in order to configure the plugin. The quantum database created previously will be used by setting:

sql_connection = mysql://<user>:<password>@localhost/quantum?charset=utf8

In order to tell quantum about a controller cluster, create a [CLUSTER:<name>] section underneath the [NVP] section. Under this new cluster specify the Transport Zone by setting:

default_tz_uuid = <uuid_of_the_transport_zone>

Specify the controllers in this cluster by setting:

nvp_controller_connection = <ip>:<port>:<user>:<pw>:<req_timeout>:<http_timeout>:<retries>:<redirects>

one for each controller.

Lastly, restart quantum-server to pick up the new settings.

service quantum-server restart
