Description Vagner Farias 2021-03-26 19:26:14 UTC 
Describe the issue:
When OCS is installed in external mode on OpenStack Platform we should recommend that either the OCP nodes have a vnic connected to a neutron provider network, so that storage traffic doesn't need to go through neutron l3 gateways.

OCP nodes could either have a single nic, connected to a provider network (vlan), or alternatively OCP nodes could have 1 vnic connected to a tenant network (typically using vxlan) and another vnic connected to a provider network (vlan).
