Configure Static Physical Mapping

Physical configuration is made for configuring statically physical entities, and their relationships to other entities in the topology.

Some physical entities, such as switches, can not be retrieved from OpenStack, so for now we will configure them statically.

There may be more than one configuration file. All files will be read from ...

Format :

entities:
 - name: <Physical entity name as appears in configuration>
   id: <Physical entity id as appears in configuration>
   type: <Physical entity type - must be from constants.EntityType>
   state: <resource state>
   relationships:
     - type: <Physical entity type it is connected to - must be from constants.EntityType>
       name: <Physical entity name connected to as appears in configuration>
       id: <Physical entity id connected to as appears in configuration>
       relation_type: <Relation name>
     - type: <Physical entity type it is connected to - must be from constants.EntityType>
       name: <Physical entity name connected to as appears in configuration>
       id: <Physical entity id connected to as appears in configuration>
       relation_type: <Relation name>

Example

The following will define a switch that is attached to host-1 and is a backup of switch-2

entities:
 - type: switch
   name: switch-1
   id: 11111
   state: available
   relationships:
     - type: nova.host
       name: host-1
       id: 22222
       relation_type: attached
     - type: switch
       name: switch-2
       id: 33333
       relation_type: backup
