Red Hat Summit第2章 Planning your OVN deployment
Deploy OVN in HA deployments only. We recommend you deploy with distributed virtual routing (DVR) enabled.
To use OVN, your director deployment must use Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve), and not VXLAN. Geneve allows OVN to identify the network using the 24-bit Virtual Network Identifier (VNI) field and an additional 32-bit Type Length Value (TLV) to specify both the source and destination logical ports. You should account for this larger protocol header when you determine your MTU setting.
DVR HA with OVN
Deploy OVN with DVR in an HA environment. OVN is supported only in an HA environment. The neutron-ovn-dvr-ha.yaml environment file configures the required DVR-specific parameters for deployments using OVN in an HA environment.
2.1. The ovn-controller on Compute nodes
The ovn-controller service runs on each Compute node and connects to the OVN SB database server to retrieve the logical flows. The ovn-controller translates these logical flows into physical OpenFlow flows and adds the flows to the OVS bridge (br-int). To communicate with ovs-vswitchd and install the OpenFlow flows, the ovn-controller connects to the local ovsdb-server (that hosts conf.db) using the UNIX socket path that was passed when ovn-controller was started (for example unix:/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock).
The ovn-controller service expects certain key-value pairs in the external_ids column of the Open_vSwitch table; puppet-ovn uses puppet-vswitch to populate these fields. Below are the key-value pairs that puppet-vswitch configures in the external_ids column:
hostname=<HOST NAME> ovn-encap-ip=<IP OF THE NODE> ovn-encap-type=geneve ovn-remote=tcp:OVN_DBS_VIP:6642
hostname=<HOST NAME>
ovn-encap-ip=<IP OF THE NODE>
ovn-encap-type=geneve
ovn-remote=tcp:OVN_DBS_VIP:6642
