Hi Ignazio, Sure, NSXv 6.2.1 is usable for a VMware region [1]. Source for the driver is here [2]:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/vmware-nsx/tree/?h=stable/liberty The blogs I pointed to earlier should give you a good feel for the basic architecture and services. Configuration-wise, you’ll want to set “core_plugin" to “vmware_nsx.neutron.plugins.vmware.plugin.NsxVPlugin” and “service_plugins” should include “neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.plugin.LoadBalancerPlugin,vmware_nsx.neutron.services.l2gateway.plugin.NSxL2GatewayPlugin”. in your neutron.conf file and then configure the plugin options. Most of what you’ll need is found here: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/vmware-nsx/tree/etc/nsx.ini?h=stable/liberty You’ll want to set “nsx_l2gw_driver" to "vmware_nsx.neutron.services.l2gateway/nsx_v_driver.NsxvL2GatewayDriver" in line 49 since you’re using NSXv. Then fill in the NSXv plugin configuration options in the [nsxv] section in lines 61-181, and you may optionally want to tinker with the [nsx_sync] section in lines 239-276. You can ignore most of the rest as it mostly pertains to the NSX-mh and DVS plugins. If it’s useful I can send you some sample configs from one of my lab setups; just let me know! [1] For a bit more info on the various plugins available for NSX-mh, NSXv, and DVS see https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/VMware_NSX_plugins [2] More specifically for you since you’re using NSXv, the NSXv plugin code is in: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/vmware-nsx/tree/vmware_nsx/plugins/nsx_v?h=stable/liberty At Your Service, Mark T.
