[Openstack] running control plane on a vmware VM

Hi Manuel,


In my home lab, I run OpenStack control plane nodes on ESXi and compute on bare metal. At a minimum, you'll want to enable 'promiscuous mode' on the virtual switch(es) in VMware to ensure traffic to the Neutron router doesn't get dropped.

Subject: [Openstack] running control plane on a vmware VM

Hi all,

I deployed openstack on a vmware vm using kolla-ansible. The installation was successful but my router namespace cannot ping the internet and I don't know why.

I checked with the openstack IRC channel and my guess is that vmware is blocking the traffic from the quantum gateway but I don't know how to prove this.

Am I doing something stupid by running the control plane on a vmware vm? Has anyone done this before? How can I troubleshoot deeper so I can prove my theory?

Thank you very much
