History

Aaron Rosen bc13fd794a Provide atomic database access nvp plugin * This patch ensures that if multiple queries are done against the database they are atomic. * Removes outdated doc string comments. * Changes update_network so that it doesn't update the network name in nvp since the name is retreved from the database. * Fixes get_network to return the correct status from nvp. Previously, it was always returning ACTIVE. Fixes bug 1097990 Change-Id: Ie3eb67c98dcb36b18cbef2e0905b59eba48ca81d		2013-01-16 19:02:28 -08:00

Overview and pre-requisites

    This is a Quantum plugin that can talk to a set of NVP controllers and
    implements the core Quantum v2 api.  In order to use it you must have
    Nicira NVP running and configured.  You must also have Quantum installed
    and configured.

NVP Plugin configuration

    1) Database configuration
    The NVP plugin leverages the Quantum database. The following connection
    parameters should be specified:
    - sql_connection: Database connection string
    - sql_max_retries: Maximum number of connection attempts (default 10)
    - reconnect_interval: Gap between connection attempts (default 2 seconds)
    2) NVP (general)
    - max_lp_per_bridged_ls: Maximum number of ports of a logical switch on a
    bridged transport zone (default 64)
    - concurrent_connections: Number of connects to each controller node
    (default 3)
    - nvp_gen_timout: Number of seconds a generation id should be valid for
    (default -1 meaning do not time out)
    3) NVP cluster
    The Quantum NVP plugin allow for configuring multiple clusters.
    Each cluster configuration section must be declared in the following way
    in the configuration file: [CLUSTER:cluster_name].
    The following parameters can be configured for each cluster:
    - default_tz_uuid: This is uuid of the default NVP Transport zone that
    will be used for creating tunneled isolated "Quantum" networks. It
    needs to be created in NVP before starting Quantum with the nvp plugin.
        - nova_zone_id: Optional parameter identifying the Nova "zone" that maps
        to this NVP cluster.
        - nvp_cluster_uuid: Optional paramter identifying the UUID of the cluster
        in NVP.  This can be retrieved from NVP management console "admin" section.
        - nvp_controller_connetion: describes a connection to a single NVP
        controller. A different connection for each controller in the cluster can
        be specified; there must be at least one connection per cluster.

Quantum Configuration

    Modify your Quantum configuration for using the NVP Plugin:

    core_plugin =
        quantum.plugins.nicira.nicira_nvp_plugin.QuantumPlugin.NvpPluginV2
