Description Dan Sneddon 2019-03-29 19:31:38 UTC
Description of problem:
OVN uses distributed routing by default, similar to how ML2/OVS did DVR. This means that the compute nodes need a br-ex bridge by default, just like the controllers, but with no IP.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OSP 15

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy with existing configs
2.
3.

Actual results:
Unless the "compute-dvr.yaml" template is used with the multiple-nics templates, the Compute nodes will have no br-ex and external routing does not work.

Expected results:
Compute nodes should have a br-ex bridge (or a different name if the NeutronBridgeMappings are not "datacentre:br-ex").

Additional info:
We will have multiple releases that need to support both OVS and OVN. We may want to create a mechanism where the bridge is enabled via flag, so that either option can be easily deployed.

ovs_neutron_agent in compute node terminates if Bridge br-ex is not present.

Moving to ON_DEV until patch merges and is backported to stable/stein.

Comment 12 Alistair Tonner 2019-07-11 17:39:39 UTC
Compute nodes now create correctly with bridge when using OSP15 geneve/DVR
Code verified.
