[I realize you intend to use physical machine for DevStack, still I
thought I'd post this here.]
FWIW, this[1] is the minimal localrc contents (be sure to edit
ENABLED_SERVICES config directive to fit your needs) I use in my
DevStack Neutron setup in a virtual machine. This setup uses nested KVM
(LIBVIRT_TYPE=kvm in localrc does it) -- for it work, the host needs to
have nested KVM enabled:
$ modinfo kvm_intel | grep -i nested
parm: nested:boolkvm 435079 1 kvm_intel
More details on that here[2], in case anyone else finds it useful.
Once the stack.sh is complete, I do some tasks Neutron expects:
- Create a new private network
- Create a new private subnet (on the above private network)
- Create a router
- Associate the router to an existing external network by setting it
as its gateway
- Associate the private network interface to the router
- Add Neutron security group rules for ICMP and SSH
