Hi,
There are a number of different Neutron VMware plugins. These are as follows:

-          NSXv – this is a NSX plugin for vSphere only. This requires the NSX 
to be installed.

-          NSXv3 – this is a NSX plugin for a multi hypervisor environment. The 
following hypervisors are supported:

o    KVM

o    ESX

o    HyperV

-          DVS – this is a very simple plugin that provides isolated tenant 
networks. This plugin does not have security group and routing support. The 
purpose of this was to enable a cloud admin to get the ‘look and feel’ of 
Neutron and to be able to have basic network connectivity. Having said that it 
works pretty well ☺. This plugin requires the DHCP and metadata agents.

The NSX and NSXv3 plugins do not require any agents. They have native DHCP and 
metadata support. From the requirements below it sounds like you need the NSXv3 
plugin.
Thanks
Gary

Importance: High

HI Openstack team,

I’m in the process of integrating VMware infrastructure with my existing 
Openstack infrastructure and the details of the same are as follows … Can you 
please let me know , whether these two components can co-exist together in the 
same infrastructure.

Controller node --> 1 single controller --> CentOS 7 --> Running Mitaka release.
Network node --> 1 single network node --> CentOS 7 --> Running Mitaka release 
--> Neutron openVswitch as ML2 Plugin. --> Distributed Virtual Router (DVR) 
enabled.
Compute node --> 5 compute nodes --> CentOS 7 --> Running Mitaka release -->  
KVM hypervisor --> Neutron openVswitch agent --> Distributed Virtual Router 
(DVR) enabled.
Cinder node --> 1 single Cinder block node --> CentOS 7 --> Running Mitaka 
release -->  Ceph rbd backend.

Requirement :

My VMware infrastructure (vCenter server appliance 6.x) needs to be integrated 
with the above mentioned NEUTRON infrastructure using NSX plugin at the same 
time my existing infrastructure should remain intact.  Or is there any other 
way available  to accomplish this without any impact to the existing 
infrastructure ?

Kindly let me know whether this is possible ?  if so kindly share me the steps 
to get it configured …

Thanks
-TJ
