Hi John,

Finally able to create an instance in Citrix Xenserver through Openstack.:)
But still am not able to make the networking(quantum) work in new VM
created. Am sure am missing out something here as am not clear how to make
my Dom0 to communicate with my Quantum node.


Any proper documentation on this ?

Warm Regards ,
