Fixes bug #1121605 This patch replacest the nvp_controller_connection configuration option with a set of options more intutitive to user which also avoid repetitions in ini files. In order to simplify the configuration of the plugin, this patch also removes named clusters. As the plugin supports a single cluster at the moment, this can be simply specified in the [DEFAULT] configuration section. Also, this patch restrucures nvp_cluster.NvpCluster so that per-cluster configuration options are not store anymore multiple times. Change-Id: Id5f84220122d7c5f3239e3333cb772247d1ed05e

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
|
|
By default the Quantum NVP plugin can talk to multiple controllers in a
|
|
single cluster. In the future (Havana+) support for multiple clusters
|
|
will be added.
|
|
The following parameters can be configured:
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- nvp_cluster_uuid: Optional paramter identifying the UUID of the cluster
|
|
in NVP. This can be retrieved from NVP management console "admin" section.
|
|
- nvp_controllers: describes the list of controllers
|
|
