Open Stack

Hi,
At the moment the only supported Neutron plugin with the VMware drivers is the NVP plugin. The NVP works with hybrid setups.

Thanks
Gary

Subject: [Openstack] Network interfaces with VMware & Neutron OVS


Hello, I've configured a multi-node infrastructure with a controller and two compute nodes. One of the compute node is a basic QEMU and the other one is a VMware compute node using the VMwareESXDriver. On the controller, I have configured Neutron using OpenVSwitch.

Everything works fine with a VM created on the QEMU hypervisor. But when I create a VM with cirrOS on VMware via Openstack, the network interfaces are not recognized by the OS. I can see thanks to Vsphere Client that the VM has a network adapter connected to br-int but nothing in the OS (no eth0).

I'm wondering if the problem comes from OpenVSwitch. I've read in some docs that OpenVSwitch is not compatible with a VMware compute node. http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/ope...<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/openstack-network/admin/content/flexibility.html&k=oIvRg1%2BdGAgOoM1BIlLLqw%3D%3D%0A&r=eH0pxTUZo8NPZyF6hgoMQu%2BfDtysg45MkPhCZFxPEq8%3D%0A&m=HDg2S2Y1D013xW16T5I96OLO0ZB00tKx8tvCox%2Boy2U%3D%0A&s=a2539a0e9685a25290f7f059757d1281bb5eb2651da6b5d5840a2ca9e2e4f571>

However, in this doc, the problem is not raised: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/confi...<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/config-reference/content//vmware.html%23VMWare_networking&k=oIvRg1%2BdGAgOoM1BIlLLqw%3D%3D%0A&r=eH0pxTUZo8NPZyF6hgoMQu%2BfDtysg45MkPhCZFxPEq8%3D%0A&m=HDg2S2Y1D013xW16T5I96OLO0ZB00tKx8tvCox%2Boy2U%3D%0A&s=8877a7a9fe58c56c32b1d6d7d2427888b655f644d4d9465822c7b2fc1dfeabc0>

Then, what's your opining? Do I have to change for NVP plugin? Is the problem somewhere else?

Is it easy to change OVS plugin to NVP?

Thanks beforehand.

Best regards,

Romain.
