Hello, Hi Benoit

I've seen ovirt can support plugin ... so is there any documentation about writing a plugin ? What do you mean "can support 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. Not sure what you mean here about openvswitch implementation, can you please clarify?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

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

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 ;)

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. Best, Toni
