This section lists a number of differences between the basic OpenStack Icehouse installation and the OpenStack installation with modifications for Oracle Ethernet Switch ML2 Mechanism Driver for OpenStack Neutron.

Here are some differences to look for during the installation:

  • When installing the OpenStack default software, you are installing and using the OpenvSwitch Neutron plugin.

  • When installing OpenStack for use with the Oracle Ethernet Switch solution, you use the ML2 plugin.

  • You might need to allocate more memory in Step 2.

  • You will use a modified version of the packstack command, as shown in Step 5.
