Update the role documentation to match the newly proposed format. In the new format, each role project should maintain the configuration variations for the role project itself. Change-Id: I165891189ffa67680980a70178fd55951cad293b

=====================================
|
|
Scenario - Using PowerVM Nova plugin
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
In order to use the PowerVM OpenStack drivers with OpenStack-Ansible (OSA), the
|
|
following pre-requisites must be fulfilled:
|
|
|
|
- At least one of the repo-build servers must be ppc64le. Can mix and match
|
|
repo-build servers between x86 and ppc64le.
|
|
|
|
- The compute nodes should be pre-configured for PowerVM with the NovaLink_
|
|
feature.
|
|
|
|
- The NovaLink Management VM needs at least one direct attach I/O card.
|
|
OpenStack Ansible is currently able to deploy the PowerVM drivers when
|
|
paired with the Linux Bridge or Open vSwitch agent. The traditional PowerVM
|
|
Shared Ethernet Adapter networking agent is not yet supported.
|
|
|
|
- The network topology on the NovaLink must match a supported OpenStack
|
|
Ansible network configuration.

PowerVM configuration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The Compute driver for OpenStack-Ansible should automatically detect that it
|
|
is of type PowerVM. If the user has specified a specific compute type, that
|
|
is applicable to the whole cloud. It is advised that the deployer allows
|
|
OSA to detect the appropriate compute node type.
