Hi, I have been asked to setup a Grizzly Instance for academic research. This project will evolve as it goes, so I don't have a clear set of requirements, my initial plan is to try installing using Neutron configured as "Single Flat Network" http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-network/admin/content/app_demo_flat.htmlusing the Open vSwitch Plugin.
The equipment I have is 3 Nodes (2 Nic's per node ), with a switch for a physically isolated node subnet and access to other switches for the rest of our network. The nodes have Fast CPU's with a decent number of Cores and more RAM than we should need So currently I am picturing a setup like this Network subnet 1 - openstack management subnet 2 - openstack data subnet 3 - Public Network Nodes A (Controller + Storage + Compute) Keystone Glance Horizon Neutron Compute Cinder Shared Storage/NFS Swift storage Swift Proxy (any other needed services) B (Network + Compute) Neutron Compute Swift Storage C (Network + Compute) Neutron Compute Swift Storage So my questions 1. Does anything seem fundamentally broken with this approach? 2. Is there anything else that I haven't mentioned that I should be thinking about before making a start? 3. Do people see any advantages for a use case like ours sticking with nova-network, or using an alternate plugin with Quantum such as Linux Bridge Plugin? 4. Is it possible / practical to merge the management and data networks? 5. Currently the isolated switch is 1G, is this likely to be a significant bottleneck to getting a small number of VM's running? Thanks for your time, and any insight you are willing to share. Clint
