Tungsten Fabric deployment prerequisites
Before you proceed with the actual Tungsten Fabric (TF) deployment, verify that your deployment meets the following prerequisites:
Your MOSK OpenStack cluster is deployed as described in Deploy an OpenStack cluster with the Tungsten Fabric backend enabled for Neutron using the following structure:
spec: features: neutron: backend: tungstenfabric
Your MOSK OpenStack cluster uses the correct value of
features:neutron:tunnel_interfacein theopenstackdeploymentobject. The TF Operator will consume this value through the shared secret and use it as a network interface from the underlay network to create encapsulated tunnels with the tenant networks.Considerations for
tunnel_interfacePlan this interface as a dedicated physical interface for TF overlay networks. TF uses
features:neutron:tunnel_interfaceto create thevhost0virtual interface and transfers the IP configuration from thetunnel_interfaceto the virtual one.Do not use
bridgesfrom L2 templates astunnel_interface. Such usage might lead to networking performance degradation and data plane downtime.
The Kubernetes nodes are labeled according to the TF node roles. For the complete list of node roles and their Kubernetes labels, see Node roles and labels.
