Hi Charles,
If I understand it right - since you are creating the external network
with a vlan tag then the OV controller(nova instance in the OBM
openstack) needs to send tagged frames which afaik doesn't work since
ovs strips the tag. I see there's a blueprint[1] for vlan aware vms
but it's not implemented.

Hi,
I successfully deployed RDO Manager Liberty HA with VLANS on some HP blades
+ in-chassis switches with trunked VLANs ports (call this OBM (Openstack
Bare Metal))
I wanted to deploy a test Openstack environment within this (call this OV
(Openstack Virtual))
So I created two instances in OBM, and used packstack to roll out one
controller and one compute node configured with vxlan tenant networks.
This all worked and I can fire up an instance in OV, and it gets an ip.
I then created an external network in OV with a VLAN id that matches an OBM
network. The plan was to access an instance in OV from an instance in OBM.
Problem is that the OV external network gateway is down, and after assigning
a floating ip to the OV instance I have no access to or from it. I can only
get to it from the network namespace on the OV controller (ip netns
exec....)
I have previously got this Openstack nested visualization working in VMware
(vCloud) by enabling promiscuous mode on dvs portgoup, and also enabling
promisc on the virtual interfaces of the virtual Openstack controllers.
I tried enabling promiscuous mode on the OV controllers interfaces (OBM
instances), but this seemed to make no difference.
Any tips? Is this possible?
Thanks
Charles
