Neutron ML2 and OS-VIF plugin for Agilio OVS

This provides the custom ML2 mechanism driver and OS-VIF plugins required to support Netronome Agilio OVS hardware in OpenStack. This plugin is currently in pre-release and is intended to aid in integration testing with core OpenStack.

Note: this plugin requires a recent version of upstream OpenStack. See: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/netronome-smartnic-enablement This code is fully functional, documentation and unit tests are in development. Source: https://github.com/Netronome/agilio-ovs-openstack-plugin

This section describes how to use the demo playbook in the ansible/ directory of this repository.

Requirements:

• You will need a node that functions as an Ansible executor. For example, you might need to execute the following on CentOS 7.x:

  sudo yum -y install centos-release-ansible26.noarch
  sudo yum -y install ansible python2-jmespath git vim

• A target node, with CentOS 7 installed, with a Netronome Agilio OVS compatible NIC.

Quickstart guide:

• Clone the repo into a temporary directory on the Ansible executor:

  git clone https://github.com/Netronome/agilio-ovs-openstack-plugin.git

• Change to the ansible directory and modify hosts.yaml and playbook.yaml with the correct settings:

  cd agilio-ovs-openstack-plugin
  vim hosts.yaml
  vim playbook.yaml

• Run the prepare-devstack.sh script:

  ./prepare-devstack.sh

• Shell into the host and reboot it:

  ssh centos@example.com
  # Verify environment
  sudo reboot

• Shell into the host and run devstack:

  ssh stack@example.com
  # Note, the playbook creates a ``stack`` user!
  cd devstack
  ./stack.sh
