--neutron-flat-networks [NEUTRON_FLAT_NETWORKS]

(DEPRECATED) Defines the flat networks to configure in neutron plugins. Defaults to "datacentre" to permit external network creation

datacentre

--neutron-physical-bridge [NEUTRON_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE]

(DEPRECATED) An Open vSwitch bridge to create on each hypervisor. This defaults to "br-ex". Typically, this should not need to be changed

br-ex

--neutron-bridge-mappings [NEUTRON_BRIDGE_MAPPINGS]

(DEPRECATED) The logical to physical bridge mappings to use. Defaults to mapping the external bridge on hosts (br-ex) to a physical name (datacentre). You would use this for the default floating network

datacentre:br-ex

--neutron-public-interface [NEUTRON_PUBLIC_INTERFACE]

(DEPRECATED) Defines the interface to bridge onto br-ex for network nodes

nic1, eth0

--neutron-network-type [NEUTRON_NETWORK_TYPE]

(DEPRECATED) The tenant network type for Neutron

gre or vxlan

--neutron-tunnel-types [NEUTRON_TUNNEL_TYPES]

(DEPRECATED) The tunnel types for the Neutron tenant network. To specify multiple values, use a comma separated string

'vxlan' 'gre,vxlan'

--neutron-tunnel-id-ranges [NEUTRON_TUNNEL_ID_RANGES]

(DEPRECATED) Ranges of GRE tunnel IDs to make available for tenant network allocation

1:1000

--neutron-vni-ranges [NEUTRON_VNI_RANGES]

(DEPRECATED) Ranges of VXLAN VNI IDs to make available for tenant network allocation

1:1000

--neutron-disable-tunneling

(DEPRECATED) Disables tunneling in case you aim to use a VLAN segmented network or flat network with Neutron

--neutron-network-vlan-ranges [NEUTRON_NETWORK_VLAN_RANGES]

(DEPRECATED) The Neutron ML2 and Open vSwitch VLAN mapping range to support. Defaults to permitting any VLAN on the 'datacentre' physical network

datacentre:1:1000

--neutron-mechanism-drivers [NEUTRON_MECHANISM_DRIVERS]

(DEPRECATED) The mechanism drivers for the neutron tenant network. Defaults to "openvswitch". To specify multiple values, use a comma-separated string

'openvswitch,l2population'

--libvirt-type [LIBVIRT_TYPE]

Virtualization type to use for hypervisors

kvm,qemu

--ntp-server [NTP_SERVER]

Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to use to synchronize time. You can also specify multiple NTP servers in a comma-separated list, for example: --ntp-server 0.centos.pool.org,1.centos.pool.org. For a high availability cluster deployment, it is essential that your controllers are consistently referring to the same time source. Note that a typical environment might already have a designated NTP time source with established practices.

pool.ntp.org

--no-proxy [NO_PROXY]

Defines custom values for the environment variable no_proxy, which excludes certain domain extensions from proxy communication

--overcloud-ssh-user OVERCLOUD_SSH_USER

Defines the SSH user to access the Overcloud nodes. Normally SSH access occurs through the heat-admin user.

ocuser

-e [EXTRA HEAT TEMPLATE], --extra-template [EXTRA HEAT TEMPLATE]

Extra environment files to pass to the Overcloud deployment. Can be specified more than once. Note that the order of environment files passed to the openstack overcloud deploy command is important. For example, parameters from each sequential environment file override the same parameters from earlier environment files.

-e ~/templates/my-config.yaml

--validation-errors-fatal

The Overcloud creation process performs a set of pre-deployment checks. This option exits if any errors occur from the pre-deployment checks. It is advisable to use this option as any errors can cause your deployment to fail.

--validation-warnings-fatal

The Overcloud creation process performs a set of pre-deployment checks. This option exits if any non-critical warnings occur from the pre-deployment checks.

--dry-run

Performs validation check on the Overcloud but does not actually create the Overcloud.

--rhel-reg

Register Overcloud nodes to the Customer Portal or Satellite 6

--reg-method

Registration method to use for the overcloud nodes

satellite for Red Hat Satellite 6 or Red Hat Satellite 5, portal for Customer Portal

--reg-org [REG_ORG]

Organization to use for registration

--reg-force

Register the system even if it is already registered

--reg-sat-url [REG_SAT_URL]

The base URL of the Satellite server to register Overcloud nodes. Use the Satellite's HTTP URL and not the HTTPS URL for this parameter. For example, use http://satellite.example.com and not https://satellite.example.com. The Overcloud creation process uses this URL to determine whether the server is a Red Hat Satellite 5 or Red Hat Satellite 6 server. If a Red Hat Satellite 6 server, the Overcloud obtains the katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm file, registers with subscription-manager, and installs katello-agent. If a Red Hat Satellite 5 server, the Overcloud obtains the RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT file and registers with rhnreg_ks.

--reg-activation-key [REG_ACTIVATION_KEY]

Activation key to use for registration
