Hi Dan,
As always, great work. Here are some minor suggestions after a quick read - Page 2, 2.2.1, "At its core, Quantum control the network connectivity..." --> controls Page 2, 2.2.2 - "For an OpenStack service (e.g., Nova) to work with Quantum, it must be modified to inform Quantum about individual interface devices (e.g., Nova vNICs) that can be plugged into Quantum networks." Some readers might be mislead into reading this as a modification that still remains to be done. Since this modification is already available in Diablo release as far as Nova is concerned, maybe we should provide that information. Page 3, 2.2.3 - ``controller'' - quotation characters are mismatched. Page 4, 3.1 - "we recommend that you use a recent version of Ubuntu, as this is a well tested platform" - you can probably qualify this in parentheses by saying that it has been known to work on RHEL. Page 5, 3.6 - With regards to the CLI, do you want to say that this is being executed from the same host on which Quantum is running (possibly also state that the option exists to run the CLI remotely by providing the Quantum server IP address) Page 7, 4.2 - Could specify the flag names - --libvirt_vif_driver --libvirt_vif_type Page 7, 4.3 - "To enabled" --> enable Page 8 - "This lets uses" --> user A thought on the QuantumManager - I do agree that going forward, the recommended way of getting Nova to work with Quantum should be by configuring the QuantumManager as the network-manager. However, until there are still some pending items left in the QuantumManager, would it make sense to suggest that an option to using the QuantumManager would be to use the FlatManager configuration, and create Quantum network and ports separately? Thanks, ~Sumit.

Hi folks, I finished a first cut at an "Administrator Guide" for Quantum (attached), aimed at administrators who will be installing and running Quantum. Its pretty simple right now, but is hopefully enough to get folks started playing with Quantum + Nova. It would be great if someone could take a quick look through the document (attached) and see if anything jumps out as obviously wrong or missing. Hopefully we can get at least one other pair of eyes on it tomorrow morning, then we can send an email out to the OpenStack list still on Monday. Right now, the doc does not include any plugin-specific documentation, it just tells the user to look at the plugin documentation (e.g., a README file). To match the docs, the suggested set of topics to cover in plugin documentation are: - any dependencies required by the plugin. - editing required plugin config files, performing other plugin setup. (e.g., installing agents) - validating that the plugin is properly setup - setting the appropriate vif-plugging flags for nova-compute Thanks, Dan p.s. I'll be working with Anne to get her thoughts on where we should host the Quantum docs given the recent changes in where other OpenStack projects are hosting their docs. ________________________________ From: Dan Wendlandt <d...@nicira.com <http://d...@nicira.com> > Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2011 18:07:32 -0700 To: <netstack@lists.launchpad.net <http://netstack@lists.launchpad.net> > Subject: [Netstack] Quantum 2011.3 Diablo is out! Hi netstack, Its official, the first official Quantum release is available for download: https://launchpad.net/quantum/+milestone/2011.3 Thanks to everyone for final push to get the release tested and out... definitely a team effort. We've come a very long way since the Diablo summit only six short months ago and have a great foundation to build on in order to reach production quality in the Essex timeframe. My plan is to hold off announcing the release to the main OpenStack list until monday, so I can hopefully get a first cut of the Administrator docs over the weekend so users have something to guide them through their first experience with Quantum. Enjoy the weekend and hopefully we'll be able to dive into some doc reviews next week, along with planning for the Essex summit :) Dan ________________________________ -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~netstack <https://launchpad.net/%7Enetstack> <https://launchpad.net/%7Enetstack> Post to : netstack@lists.launchpad.net <http://netstack@lists.launchpad.net> Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~netstack <https://launchpad.net/%7Enetstack> <https://launchpad.net/%7Enetstack> More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan Wendlandt Nicira Networks, Inc. www.nicira.com <http://www.nicira.com> | www.openvswitch.org <http://www.openvswitch.org> Sr. Product Manager cell: 650-906-2650 <tel:650-906-2650> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan Wendlandt Nicira Networks, Inc. www.nicira.com | www.openvswitch.org Sr. Product Manager cell: 650-906-2650 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
