[Users] Ovirt 3.3 - How to write a network plugin
Hello, I've seen ovirt can support plugin ... so is there any documentation about writing a plugin ? Can we write it in python ? Well because, here, we don't want to install openstack/neutron for network management ... It's too complicated and to heavy. I, your opinion wrong design choice about openvswitch implementation. Thank you in advance. Regards, -- -- Benoit ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hello, Toni, that's the question ! Good news :) I'will go into the source code. If you have a link to point me to the right direction, i take it ;) Regards, 2013/10/8 Antoni Segura Puimedon asegu...@redhat.com - Original Message - From: Mike Kolesnik mkole...@redhat.com To: Benoit ML ben4...@gmail.com Cc: users@ovirt.org Sent: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 11:29:31 AM Subject: Re: [Users] Ovirt 3.3 - How to write a network plugin Hello, Hi Benoit I've seen ovirt can support plugin ... so is there any documentation about writing a plugin ?

Regards, -- -- Benoit ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users Hi Benoit, If the question is: can we write a network plugin so that networks are defined in open vSwitch instead of in traditional linux bonds, vlans and bridges; the answer is yes. The language to do that is Python and the correct oVirt component to do it in is vdsm. Now we have an ifcfg configurator and a partial iproute2 configurator. The task would be to make an open vSwitch one. Best regards, Toni -- -- Benoit ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

If you have a link to point me to the right direction, i take it ;) Sure, you have to provide the same methods as the Ifcfg class in vdsm/netconf/ifcfg.py So basically taking netdev objects and using them to then call open vSwitch to create them. You can also look at the ongoing vdsm/netconf/iproute2.py for another example. There are some extra considerations to take care about, like persistence and such (the patches are being finished now for a way to keep the persistence equal across configurators, as long as they follow some rules). I'm usually in #vdsm at freenode should you want to contact me.
