Hi all, We are moving from vsphere to openstack. Currently I¹m trying to figure out the easiest way to move my vmdk files over. They are already integrated directly into our internal network.
Option 1: Use provider networks (ie. http://docs.openstack.org/networking-guide/scenario_provider_ovs.html) for VMs with static ip addressing. This way I think I should be able to move the instances directly over, since they already have IP and MAC info. Option2: Use legacy (or DVR) architecture (ie. http://docs.openstack.org/networking-guide/scenario_legacy_ovs.html), convert vmdks to qcow2s (?), remove ip, mac, uuid, other unique info, install acpi, install cloud-init, and boot. I would also like to avoid using the provider networks scenario with dhcp, because I want IPs to be consistent. Questions: Is it possible to use the provider network with static addressing? Is there a way to programatically modify images (vmdk or qcow2) with the steps described in number 2 above?
