APPENDIX X

Deploying with Openvswitch without Opflex

This section describes configuring Openstack 16.1 with openvswitch plugin only. When deploying using
openvswitch without opflex agent, only ACI mechanism and extension driver will be used. Please keep in
mind that l3 connectivity is provided by ACI, which means SNAT and floating IPs will not be supported.

Before you begin

To deploy with openvswitch plugin only, ensure that the plug-in requires following assets:
• A physical domain (physdom) with the correct VLAN pool.
• Host-link information (which compute node fabric Ethernet interface is connected to which leaf switch
port)

Procedure

Before deploying OpenStack Platform Overcloud, make sure you have one Physical Domain (physdom)
created per each physnet required. Add pdom_ prefix to the name of physical domain created. For
example,for physnet1 create pdom_physnet1, and attach the right VLAN pool.
You must also set NeutronNetworkVLANRanges and enable the third-party mechanism drivers using
ACIMechanismDrivers parameter, make sure that the apic_aim is the last mechanism in the list.

Prepare the undercloud for openvswitch installation

Follow steps 1-4 in section “Prepare Undercloud for Cisco ACI with OpFlex Orchestration” to install the ACI packages
and build openstack ACI containers

Deploy overcloud
Step 1 Copy the /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles_data.yaml file to a
private location.
Example:
cp /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles_data.yaml
/home/stack/templates/aci_roles_data.yaml

Step 2 Edit the local copy of roles_data.yaml(aci_roles_data.yaml) to add CiscoAciAIM and

CiscoAciLldp service to the controller role and CiscoAciLldp service to the compute role.
a) Under the controller role, add the following lines:
- OS::TripleO::Services::CiscoAciAIM
- OS::TripleO::Services::CiscoAciLldp

b) Under the compute role, add the following line:

- OS::TripleO::Services::CiscoAciLldp

Step 3 Create a yaml file, e.g. “neutron-ovs-only.yaml” with below resources.

Example:

resource_registry:
OS::TripleO::ControllerExtraConfigPre: /opt/ciscoaci-tripleo-heat-templates//nodepre.yaml
OS::TripleO::Docker::NeutronMl2PluginBase: /opt/ciscoaci-tripleo-heat-

OS::TripleO::Services::NeutronOvsAgent: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-
templates/deployment/neutron/neutron-ovs-agent-container-puppet.yaml
OS::TripleO::Services::NeutronDhcpAgent: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-
templates/deployment/neutron/neutron-dhcp-container-puppet.yaml
OS::TripleO::Services::CiscoAciAIM: /opt/ciscoaci-tripleo-heat-
templates/deployment/aciaim/cisco-aciaim-container-puppet.yaml
OS::TripleO::Services::NeutronL3Agent: OS::Heat::None

OS::TripleO::ComputeExtraConfigPre: /opt/ciscoaci-tripleo-heat-templates//nodepre.yaml
OS::TripleO::Services::ComputeNeutronOvsAgent: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-
templates/deployment/neutron/neutron-ovs-agent-container-puppet.yaml
