Open Stack

Dear Kolla-ansible team,

I am trying to deploy ironic through kolla-ansible. According to ironic documentation https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/rocky/install/configure-networking.html we need bare metal network with tenant_network_types = flat. However kolla-ansible configures:

[root at TEST-openstack-controller ~]# grep -R -i "baremetal" -R /etc/kolla/*
/etc/kolla/neutron-openvswitch-agent/ml2_conf.ini:mechanism_drivers = openvswitch,baremetal,l2population
/etc/kolla/neutron-server/ml2_conf.ini:mechanism_drivers = openvswitch,baremetal,l2population


[root at TEST-openstack-controller ~]# grep -R -i "tenant_network_types" -R /etc/kolla/*
/etc/kolla/neutron-openvswitch-agent/ml2_conf.ini:tenant_network_types = vxlan
/etc/kolla/neutron-server/ml2_conf.ini:tenant_network_types = vxlan

This is my filtered globals.yml:

[root at openstack-deployment ~]# grep -E -i "(^[^#]|ironic)" /etc/kolla/globals.yml

# Configure ironic upgrade option, due to currently kolla support
# two upgrade ways for ironic: legacy_upgrade and rolling_upgrade
# The variable "ironic_enable_rolling_upgrade: yes" is meaning legacy_upgrade
#ironic_enable_rolling_upgrade: "yes"
#ironic_inspector_kernel_cmdline_extras: []
tempest_image_id:
tempest_flavor_ref_id:

ens224 is a my management network for admins to ssh and install and manage the physical nodes.

Any idea why tenant_network_types = vxlan and not flat as suggested by the ironic documentation?

Thank you
