I’m afraid I’m absolutely terrible with public release dates—I’d suggest a quick chat with your account rep instead. =)

Configuration-wise, you’ll want to set “core_plugin" to “vmware_nsx.neutron.plugins.vmware.plugin.NsxVPlugin” and “service_plugins” should include “neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.plugin.LoadBalancerPlugin,vmware_nsx.neutron.services.l2gateway.plugin.NSxL2GatewayPlugin”. in your neutron.conf file and then configure the plugin options.  Most of what you’ll need is found here:

Then fill in the NSXv plugin configuration options in the [nsxv] section in lines 61-181, and you may optionally want to tinker with the [nsx_sync] section in lines 239-276. You can ignore most of the rest as it mostly pertains to the NSX-mh and DVS plugins.  If it’s useful I can send you some sample configs from one of my lab setups; just let me know!
