integrate neutron with Dvs on vmware esxi !!!

Hello Team,

i'm integrating opentsack with the esxisting vmware. my step as below:

• step1 : install openstack version kilo . as introduce at openstack website
• step2: install VMware esxi 5.1 infastructure.
• step3: the integating openstack - vmware

Now, i want to integrate Neutron with VDs, ( not through NSX plugin). At present, seem neutron not support this .
I read your post and i can see that you have done it.
So, can you inform some information for this ? any procedure or step by step document to do it.

Thanks you very much !

VM not found yet. Going to retry.

Hi

I am trying to use dvs mechanism driver for an existing vcenter deployment with openstack Kilo. I created a PG in the dvs on Vcenter and can attach an instance but cannot obtain an IP. The server.log file repeats the following...

ImportError: cannot import name log - OpenStack Kilo

I'm using OpenStack kilo and trying to configure DVS driver but I encountered an error while starting neutron-server

This line seems to be problem:
from neutron.openstack.common import log as logging

Changing it to:
from neutron.common import log as logging
does not work ;)

neutron-vmware-dvswitch driver is deprecated

The driver in this repository works with icehouse version of OpenStack and with vSphere version 5.1 with following restrictions

• the driver supports only vlans
• the driver supports only one network interface per instance
• the driver doesn't support security groups
• portgroups matching network names in Neutron must be created manually to VMware

I'm sorry to inform that we are not going to put any more effort to the driver. We have a need for better integration to OpenStack and we are going to focus on a different network technology in the future. The driver has served us well and will for a while, before we finish the migration to the different technology.

As the driver is not merged to Neutron upstream, the users of this driver will be on their own and I suggest that one should consider using Networking-vSphere project (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/Networking-vSphere) that is more intrusive, but provides better integration.

There is also an another project similar to ours that you can take a look https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/ml2-dvs-mech-driver. But to my understanding this one is not merged to upstream yet either.

Openstack Icehouse, not works

Hi,

Thank you for your work. I have a problem with your plugin.

I use "Icehouse" and Vcenter 5.1.
When do I start a machine, it seeks to "br-int" in a vswitch. After that, the "worker" is launched

And the worker can not change the nic's VM. I attach my conf of vcenter.

VM don't have a OS (just start with a empty volume)

Hey Team, Can you help me to analyse this error ?
