Hi @DaanHoogland
The architecture is
`cloudstack <nuagevsp-plugin> ---cmp--> nuage-vsp-acs-client ---cfg-->
Nuage VSP platform`
with
- nuagevsp-plugin : the plugin in cloudstack
- nuage-vsp-acs-client : publicly available middleware which glues the
plugin to the Nuage VSP platform
- Nuage VSP platform : the Nuage Networks SDN platform, commercially
available (http://www.nuagenetworks.net)
and
- `---cmp-->` a compile-time dependency (resolved by Maven, cfr @nlivens's
update of the pom file)
- `---cfg-->` a configuration-time dependency, resolved at cloudstack
infrastructure provisioning time when adding the cloudstack NuageVsp device to
its Physical Network (and part of that, provisioning the API URL and
credentials of the Nuage VSP platform itself).
Adding the NuageVsp device in cloudstack will fail when invalid Nuage VSP
configuration is submitted (wrong API URL and/or wrong credentials) (as at that
time the nuage-vsp-acs-client software will attempt to logon to the specified
Nuage VSP platform), which would happen when the user has no Nuage VSP platform
at all. The end-result of that is that no device is added, and so the physical
network remaining unusable until another device is added.
