|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
* up-to-date version of these instructions are located at:
|
|
http://wiki.openstack.org/brocade-neutron-plugin
|
|
|
|
* N.B.: Please see Prerequisites section regarding ncclient (netconf client library)
|
|
|
|
* Supports VCS (Virtual Cluster of Switches)
|

|
Openstack Brocade Neutron Plugin implements the Neutron v2.0 API.
|
|
|
|
This plugin is meant to orchestrate Brocade VCS switches running NOS, examples of these are:
|
|
|
|
1. VDX 67xx series of switches
|
|
2. VDX 87xx series of switches
|
|
|
|
Brocade Neutron plugin implements the Neutron v2.0 API. It uses NETCONF at the backend
|
|
to configure the Brocade switch.

Directory Structure
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Normally you will have your Openstack directory structure as follows:
|
|
|
|
/opt/stack/nova/
|
|
/opt/stack/horizon/
|
|
...
|
|
/opt/stack/neutron/neutron/plugins/
|
|
|
|
Within this structure, Brocade plugin resides at:
|
|
|
|
/opt/stack/neutron/neutron/plugins/brocade
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prerequsites
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This plugin requires installation of the python netconf client (ncclient) library:
|
|
|
|
ncclient v0.3.1 - Python library for NETCONF clients available at http://github.com/brocade/ncclient
|
|
|
|
% git clone https://www.github.com/brocade/ncclient
|
|
% cd ncclient; sudo python ./setup.py install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
1. Specify to Neutron that you will be using the Brocade Plugin - this is done
|
|
by setting the parameter core_plugin in Neutron:
|
|
|
|
core_plugin = neutron.plugins.brocade.NeutronPlugin.BrocadePluginV2
|
|
|
|
2. Physical switch configuration parameters and Brocade specific database configuration is specified in
|
|
the configuration file specified in the brocade.ini files:
|
|
|
|
% cat /etc/neutron/plugins/brocade/brocade.ini
|
|
[SWITCH]
|
|
username = admin
|
|
password = password
|
|
address = <switch mgmt ip address>
|
|
ostype = NOS
|
|
|
|
[database]
|
|
connection = mysql://root:pass@localhost/brocade_neutron?charset=utf8
|
|
|
|
(please see list of more configuration parameters in the brocade.ini file)
|
|
|
|
Running Setup.py
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Running setup.py with appropriate permissions will copy the default configuration
|
|
file to /etc/neutron/plugins/brocade/brocade.ini. This file MUST be edited to
|
|
suit your setup/environment.
|
|
|
|
% cd /opt/stack/neutron/neutron/plugins/brocade
|
|
% python setup.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
Devstack
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Please see special notes for devstack at:
|
|
http://wiki.openstack.org/brocade-neutron-plugin
|
|
|
|
In order to use Brocade Neutron Plugin, add the following lines in localrc, if localrc file doe
|
|
not exist create one:
|
|
|
|
ENABLED_SERVICES=g-api,g-reg,key,n-api,n-crt,n-obj,n-cpu,n-net,n-cond,cinder,c-sch,c-api,c-vol,n-sch,n-novnc,n-xvnc,n-cauth,horizon,rabbit,quantum,q-svc,q-agt
|
|
Q_PLUGIN=brocade
|
|
|
|
As part of running devstack/stack.sh, the configuration files is copied as:
|
|
|
|
% cp /opt/stack/neutron/etc/neutron/plugins/brocade/brocade.ini /etc/neutron/plugins/brocade/brocade.ini
|
|
|
|
(hence it is important to make any changes to the configuration in:
|
|
/opt/stack/neutron/etc/neutron/plugins/brocade/brocade.ini)
|
|
|
