Open Stack

Hi Guys-


I have found the solution to my Second Doubt

Link: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/devref/rpc.html

and Thanks Emilien for clearing my 3rd Doubt.

But still in need of help.

Can you any one validate my understanding with the data flow in
Nova+Quantum scenario for bringing up the VM instances.

*[Trinath] *The flow as follows


   1. Upon receiving an REST call from Horizon, Nova API collected the
   Networking information from the nova_network and prepares an JSON formatted
   request and update the AMQP Queue.
   2. AMQP sends an Async cast to Nova Compute. Upon receiving the cast,
   Nova Compute issues _create_instance and updates the AMQP queue. AMQP queue
   sends an Async cast to Scheduler.
   3. Upon receiving the cast, Scheduler selects the Compute Node and send
   an async cast to the node. Node using the info in the queue using libvirt
   brings up the instance.
   4. Quantum-Agent at NODE updates the DB at controller with the Vlan
   tagged Port-Vif details.
   5. Quantum-Agent at Controller upon reading the DB on Vlan tagged
   Port-Vif details creates Gateway interfaces in the OVS integration bridge
   so that controller can access the VM's present in remote host.
