Hi Dan, et al,

  Thanks for all your warmhearted help.
   I followed Dan's suggestions as well as others' and tried again, I see an explicit error in the overcloud: "Connection aborted.', error(113, 'No route to host')".
  (Below are the error messages and information)
 
   I think it could because of lacking of sufficient network configuration.
   Looks the proof-of-concept use case doesn't work for me as I changed something, such as the undercloud.conf (eg., all the IPs, etc). 
      
   So next, I would try to do the network isolation. Is there a simple/concise example of the network configuration ( network-environment.yaml). I know that
there is a guide for this but I've lost myself in the ocean of the information. It would be the best to start from a basic configuration, if you could help.

Thanks,

Erming

If you are doing the most basic deployment (no network isolation) on
bare metal, you will want to specify which interface is your external
network interface. This will be the interface that gets attached to
br-ex (this defaults to your first interface, which may not be correct
in your case). In the basic deployment, this network will require a
DHCP server to give the controller an address, and if you want to use
floating IPs you will need a range of IPs that are free (won't be
assigned to other hosts by DHCP server).

So, if your external interface is 'enp11s0f0' (just guessing, since
that one actually has a DHCP address), then your command-line will be
at least:

openstack overcloud deploy --templates \
--neutron-public-interface enp11s0f0

But you should probably include a reference to an NTP server:

openstack overcloud deploy --templates \
--neutron-public-interface enp11s0f0 \
--ntp-server pool.ntp.org

Some other options to consider:

--timeout <mins>
--debug

Selecting tunnel type:
--neutron-network-type <vxlan|gre>
--neutron-tunnel-types <vxlan,gre>
