Thanks all for your contribution on my request. I already knew VIO ( previous version 1.0 ) but i just wanted to see what I could (or could not) do without NSX . Miko ___ OpenStack-operators mailing list

Federico, I presume you speak italian. Your company is a Mirantis partner ? We are going to select an openstack distro and we need to speak about mirantis. Ignazio 2015-09-24 11:52 GMT+02:00 Ignazio Cassano : > Thanks > > 2015-09-24 11:49 GMT+02:00 Federico Michele

Hi Ignazio, never tested it, I may suppose that during the installation the appliance is created or downloaded (but I may be totally wrong). As by documentation: For help using or hacking on OVSvApp solution, you can send an email to the OpenStack Development Mailing List

Hi Folks,i would like to know if anybody has tried to implement a neutron solution with vsphere without using NSX-like solutions. I mean, my lab environment is composed of :  - 1 network node ( neutron )  - 1 controller node  - 2 compute node ( kvm)  - 1 compute node linked to a cluster

Hi Miko, it is possible to develop a neutron extension for achieveing your goal. Indeed for a customer we developed a ML2 driver that creates the needed portgroups and connect them to the right vlan in vCenter and hence when VMware VMs are created connect them to the create portgroups. The

Miko, There’s a VDS driver for Neutron in addition to the NSX one that you might want to have a look at if you haven’t already. Some notes on that here (these are from the admin guides for the VMware Integrated OpenStack distribution as it does a pretty good job of describing the

As early mentioned this week, Mark's option is a valid alternative (separate regions). @ Mark, I wonder if this excpert from your pointer is still valid: "VDS-based networking has limitations, including the inability of tenants to create their own private L2 networks, and the inability to deliver

Re: [Openstack-operators] nova-neutron with vsphere

2015-09-24 Thread Mark Voelker
Yes: as the document there notes, the VDS driver uses provider networks (which in Neutron are created by the admin rather than the tenant and basically map neutron networks to VLANs in the physical datacenter network) and therefore punt L3 operations to the datacenter network. At Your Service,
