From ca88364175fe5177cecbb479a157d7329db05d8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bogdan Dobrelya Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 15:42:42 +0200 Subject: Support separate data network for Flannel SDN (#757) * Support separate data network for Flannel SDN Document the use case for a separate flannel data network. Allow Nova servers for openshift cluster to be provisioned with that isolated data network created and connected to masters, computes and infra nodes. Do not configure dns nameservers and router for that network. Signed-off-by: Bogdan Dobrelya * Fix flannel use cases with provider network Provider network cannot be used with flannel SDN as the latter requires a separate isolated network, while the provider network is an externally managed single network. Signed-off-by: Bogdan Dobrelya * Drop unused data_net_name Signed-off-by: Bogdan Dobrelya --- playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md | 9 ++++++++- playbooks/provisioning/openstack/net_vars_check.yaml | 14 ++++++++++++++ playbooks/provisioning/openstack/prerequisites.yml | 3 +++ .../openstack/sample-inventory/group_vars/OSEv3.yml | 4 ++++ .../openstack/sample-inventory/group_vars/all.yml | 4 ++++ 5 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 playbooks/provisioning/openstack/net_vars_check.yaml (limited to 'playbooks/provisioning') diff --git a/playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md b/playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md index 78d4ffe7c..b9a3b23de 100644 --- a/playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md +++ b/playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md @@ -250,6 +250,9 @@ right after provisioning will fail (unless you're using an external DNS server your provider network knows about).
