Hi All,<br>
<br>
Better late that never:<br>
<br>
Since few weeks we are testing IBM Power System R2 server and we were<br>
evaluating the capability to go on a larger scale. We are lacking of<br>
information regarding PowerKVM status and PowerVC so we began to try<br>
Havana + powerVM:<br>
The launch of a VM went well (except an issue with glance which does not<br>
gzip the image ... troubleshoot in process) but how does it works<br>
regarding the network ? What type of network configuration it has been<br>
tested with ?<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance,<br>
<br>
Florian CHAZAL<br>

<br>
It definitely doesn't meet our stable maintenance rules. We<br>
want<br>
people<br>
to be able to safely upgrade to the latest stable/* when<br>
they are<br>
users<br>
of the release. We don't add new features, removing them<br>
would be even<br>
worse.<br>

<br>
At the very minimum I would add the "dead-end" comment to<br>
the Havana<br>
release notes. If Anne is fine by it, it could also be<br>
added to the<br>
stable/havana version of the docs.<br>
<br>
<br>
PowerVM was mostly documented in developer docs in the nova repo. It<br>
also has entries in the Configuration Reference in the nova.conf<br>
options tables from our autodoc process. Those will just stay in the<br>
stable/havana repo, but I'm okay with backporting a note to<br>
stable/havana with a clear message as to the driver's fate. We also<br>
have a mention of PowerVM in stable/grizzly where we could also<br>
place<br>
a note. Release notes are a good place for this as well, thanks<br>
Russell.<br>

feel free<br>
to add the nova project as well to ensure the docs in the nova repo<br>

<br>
I do want to point out that we don't have adequate documentation of<br>
other drivers, like Hyper-V and Xen, just want to make sure you all<br>
know there are gaps and documentation isn't the indicator of<br>
"acceptance" of a hypervisor driver.<br>

<br>
Some details on what testing we did internally with running Tempest:<br>
<br>
- Controller/Compute Node: RHEL 6.3-6.5, Fedora 19 ppc64<br>
- Hypervisor: PowerVM IVM 2.2.2.0+<br>
- Platform: P7 and P7+ Racks, Blades, ITEs<br>
- Networking:<br>
- Neutron + Open vSwitch: Flat, VLAN - IPv4 only<br>
- nova-network: Flat<br>
- Cinder Storage Driver: Storwize/SVC 6.4.1/6.4.2 for FC<br>
<br>
There are some teams here working on getting a PowerVC nova virt driver into Stackforge.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
