YAMAMOTO Takashi b3e7e21c32 OVS-agent: Introduce Ryu based OpenFlow implementation Introduce an alternative OpenFlow implementation, "native", implemented using Ryu ofproto python library from Ryu SDN Framework. Make it selectable with of_driver=native agent option. The aim is to replace the existing ovs-ofctl based implementation eventually. It introduces node-local OpenFlow controller embedded in OVS agent. Benefits include: * Reduce the overhead of invoking ovs-ofctl command (and associated rootwrap) * Make future uses of OpenFlow asynchronous messages (e.g. Packet-In, Port-Status, etc) easier * Make XenAPI integration simpler Highlights: * Switch to OpenFlow 1.3. * Make OVS-agent act as an OpenFlow controller * Configure OVS on the node to connect to the controller DocImpact Implements: blueprint ovs-ofctl-to-python Co-Authored-by: IWAMOTO Toshihiro <iwamoto@valinux.co.jp> Change-Id: I02e65ea7c6083b2c0a686fed2ab04da4d92b21a3		2015-09-02 14:05:18 +09:00

This directory contains files that are required for the XenAPI support.
They should be installed in the XenServer / Xen Cloud Platform dom0.

If you install them manually, you will need to ensure that the newly
added files are executable. You can do this by running the following
command (from dom0):

    chmod a+x /etc/xapi.d/plugins/*

Otherwise, you can build an rpm by running the following command:

    ./contrib/build-rpm.sh

and install the rpm by running the following command (from dom0):

    rpm -i openstack-neutron-xen-plugins.rpm
