Description Andrew Dahms 2013-11-18 06:50:58 UTC
The process for removing an external provider is currently undocumented. The settings for the Add Provider and Edit Providers windows are also undocumented.

Comments

These topics correspond to the new features in ovirt for integration with OSN:

I ran into some issues following these instructions:

See Bug # 1051567 and Bug # 1051540

I also think more information about what you can actually *do* with each provider is probably warranted. This chapter guides you through adding providers but there's no linkage to anything describing what can/can't be achieved (particularly important as this is only the first implementation phase for these).

See slide 27 of this deck to get an idea of what I'm talking about:

    http://www.ovirt.org/images/1/13/Ovirt-2013-glance-integration-deep-dive.pdf

You would need to confirm these with Frederico and then find the same information for Neutron and Foreman.

Comment 5 Stephen Gordon 2014-01-10 15:47:44 UTC
Andrew have you managed to set this up in a local environment? If not let me know and I can share mine so you can see what was required to get this working and/or take some screenshots.

Comment 6 Stephen Gordon 2014-01-10 15:51:25 UTC
Additionally note that if adding a Neutron provider once you select the neutron plugin in use there is an entire "Agent Configuration" tab.

I would suggest contacting someone from the networking team for advice on how this should be filled in (I don't know).

Agent configuration tab.

Comment 8 Stephen Gordon 2014-01-10 15:54:23 UTC
I think the issue in comment # 6 is I can't see these two in the document on the stage (maybe I'm blind :)):

4. Add Provider Settings - Agents   [ 25146 ]
6. Edit Provider Settings - Agents  [ 25147 ]

Comment 9 Andrew Dahms 2014-01-13 00:28:25 UTC
Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your input - I will take a look over the section and incorporate the two new bugs you have raised in addition to the above. I should be able to test most of it in my local environment, but I will make sure to reach out to yourself if I run into any trouble.

In regards to the agent settings topics, you should be able to see them on docs-devel here:

http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.3/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#Add_Provider_Agent_Configuration_Settings_Explained

Let me know if you have any more issues and I will see what I can do.

VERIFIED, thanks Andrew.
