Next steps

Your OpenStack environment now includes the nova-compute service installed and configured with the compute_hyperv driver.

If the OpenStack services are Running on the Hyper-V compute node, make sure that they're reporting to the OpenStack controller and that they're alive by running the following:

neutron agent-list
nova service-list

The output should contain the Hyper-V host's nova-compute service and Neutron L2 agent (either a Neutron Hyper-V Agent, or a Neutron OVS Agent) as alive / running.

Starting with Ocata, Nova cells became mandatory. Make sure that the newly added Hyper-V compute node is mapped into a Nova cell, otherwise Nova will not build any instances on it.

If Neutron Hyper-V Agent has been chosen as an L2 agent, make sure that the Neutron Server meets the following requirements:

• networking-hyperv installed. To check if networking-hyperv is installed, run the following:

  pip freeze | grep networking-hyperv

  If there is no output, it can be installed by running the command:

  pip install networking-hyperv==VERSION

  The VERSION is dependent on your OpenStack deployment version. For example, for Queens, the VERSION is 6.0.0. For other release names and versions, you can look here: https://github.com/openstack/networking-hyperv/releases

• The Neutron Server has been configured to use the hyperv mechanism driver. The configuration option can be found in /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini:

  [ml2]
  mechanism_drivers = openvswitch,hyperv

If the configuration file has been modified, or networking-hyperv has been installed, the Neutron Server service will have to be restarted.

Additionally, keep in mind that the Neutron Hyper-V Agent only supports the following network types: local, flat, VLAN. Ports with any other network type will result in a PortBindingFailure exception. If tunneling is desired, the Neutron OVS Agent should be used instead.
