NSX DevStack Configurations

Below are the options for configuring the NSX plugin with DevStack. Prior to doing this DevStack needs to be downloaded. After updating the relevant configuration file(s) run ./stack.sh

NSXv

LBaaS v2 Driver

Add lbaas repo as an external repository and configure following flags in local.conf:

[[local]|[localrc]]
enable_plugin neutron-lbaas https://git.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-lbaas
enable_service q-lbaasv2

Configure the service provider::

post-config [service_providers] service_provider = LOADBALANCERV2:VMWareEdge:neutron_lbaas.drivers.vmware.edge_driver_v2.EdgeLoadBalancerDriverV2:default

QoS Driver

Enable the qos in local.conf:

[[local|localrc]]
ENABLED_SERVICES=q-qos

For NSXv set the service plugin in local.conf, and enable the dvs features:

[[post-config|$NEUTRON_CONF]]
[DEFAULT]
service_plugins = vmware_nsxv_qos

[[local|localrc]]
NSXV_USE_DVS_FEATURES = True

Optional: Update the nsx qos_peak_bw_multiplier in nsx.ini (default value is 2.0):

[NSX]
qos_peak_bw_multiplier = <i.e 10.0>

L2GW Driver

Add networking-l2gw repo as an external repository and configure following flags in local.conf:

[[local|localrc]]
enable_plugin networking-l2gw https://github.com/openstack/networking-l2gw
