History
Ihar Hrachyshka 22328baf1f Migrate to oslo.log 
It's mostly a matter of changing imports to a new location.

Non-obvious changes needed:
* pass overwrite= argument to oslo_context since oslo.log reads context
  from its thread local store and not local.store from incubator
* don't store context at local.store now that there is no code that
  would consume it
* LOG.deprecated() -> versionutils.report_deprecated_feature()
* dropped LOG.audit check from hacking rule since now the method does
  not exist
* WritableLogger is now located in oslo_log.loggers

Dropped log module from the tree. Also dropped local module that is now
of no use (and obsolete, as per oslo team).

Added versionutils back to openstack-common.conf since now we use the
module directly from neutron code and not just as a dependency of some
other oslo-incubator module.

Note: tempest tests are expected to be broken now, so instead of fixing
all the oslo.log related issues for the subtree in this patch, I only
added TODOs with directions for later fix.

Brocade Openstack Neutron Plugin

Openstack Brocade Neutron Plugin implements the Neutron v2.0 API.

This plugin is meant to orchestrate Brocade VCS switches running NOS, examples of these are:

  1. VDX 67xx series of switches
  2. VDX 87xx series of switches

Brocade Neutron plugin implements the Neutron v2.0 API. It uses NETCONF at the backend to configure the Brocade switch.

Directory Structure

Normally you will have your Openstack directory structure as follows:

     /opt/stack/nova/
     /opt/stack/horizon/
     ...
     /opt/stack/neutron/neutron/plugins/

Within this structure, Brocade plugin resides at:

     /opt/stack/neutron/neutron/plugins/brocade

Prerequsites

This plugin requires installation of the python netconf client (ncclient) library:

ncclient v0.3.1 - Python library for NETCONF clients available at http://github.com/brocade/ncclient

% git clone https://www.github.com/brocade/ncclient % cd ncclient; sudo python ./setup.py install

Configuration

  1. Specify to Neutron that you will be using the Brocade Plugin - this is done by setting the parameter core_plugin in Neutron:

     core_plugin = neutron.plugins.brocade.NeutronPlugin.BrocadePluginV2

  2. Physical switch configuration parameters and Brocade specific database configuration is specified in the configuration file specified in the brocade.ini files:

     % cat /etc/neutron/plugins/brocade/brocade.ini
 [SWITCH]
 username = admin
 password = password
 address  = <switch mgmt ip address>
 ostype   = NOS

 [database]
 connection = mysql://root:pass@localhost/brocade_neutron?charset=utf8

 (please see list of more configuration parameters in the brocade.ini file)

Running Setup.py

Running setup.py with appropriate permissions will copy the default configuration file to /etc/neutron/plugins/brocade/brocade.ini. This file MUST be edited to suit your setup/environment.

  % cd /opt/stack/neutron/neutron/plugins/brocade
  % python setup.py

Devstack

Please see special notes for devstack at: http://wiki.openstack.org/brocade-neutron-plugin

In order to use Brocade Neutron Plugin, add the following lines in localrc, if localrc file doe not exist create one:

ENABLED_SERVICES=g-api,g-reg,key,n-api,n-crt,n-obj,n-cpu,n-net,n-cond,cinder,c-sch,c-api,c-vol,n-sch,n-novnc,n-xvnc,n-cauth,horizon,rabbit,neutron,q-svc,q-agt Q_PLUGIN=brocade

As part of running devstack/stack.sh, the configuration files is copied as:

% cp /opt/stack/neutron/etc/neutron/plugins/brocade/brocade.ini /etc/neutron/plugins/brocade/brocade.ini

(hence it is important to make any changes to the configuration in: /opt/stack/neutron/etc/neutron/plugins/brocade/brocade.ini)
