I’d be interested in hearing more about that, Darragh, as this stuff is pretty new for me.  For this interface, it’s not a provider network.

eth0 is the management network, which is local to the host. I create a port on the host (192.168.200.3) and in the I/F up script a Neutron port is created and bound  (mgmt_p) and added to br-int using ova-vsctl.

eth1 is connected to the devstack public network as public_p, using br-ex (again all Neutron calls). I guess this would be a provider net.

eth2, the one in question, is connected to the devstack private network, as private_p.  I’m currently using Neutron, for the port create, and then Nova (with VIF object instead of dict), and it looks like it hooked up OK (even though the “details” are not being set as selected). Discussing with others, it sounds like I want to have the ova_hybrid_plug set anyway, so I’m commenting out the line I had and trying this:

port_id = port['port']['id']

instance = {'uuid': vm_uuid}
network = {'bridge': 'br-int'}

class VeryDangerousHack(network_model.VIF):
    def __init__(self, port_id, mac_addr, network):
        super(VeryDangerousHack, self).__init__(
            id=port_id, address=mac_addr, network=network,
            type=network_model.VIF_TYPE_OVS,
            # details={'ovs_hybrid_plug': False, 'port_filter': False},
            active=True)

vif = VeryDangerousHack(port_id, mac_addr, network)

# For ML2 plugin
driver = vif_driver.LibvirtGenericVIFDriver({})
driver.plug(instance, vif)


I’m re-stacking and will see if everything is OK (fingers crossed). There was some issue on my last try (without the line commented out), but the issue was with a the VM’s eht1 (public), which uses a different script (neutron only), so I’m trying from scratch just in case I’ve messed things up.
