VMware NSXv Support
This blueprint enables support in Nova for the VMware NSXv Neutron plugin. This plugin was added in the Kilo cycle. The plugin can be found at: https:/
The following support needs to be added to nova:
1. VNIC index - the NSXv security groups require the VNIC index in order to be able to enforce the security groups.
2. Metadata support - the NSXv DHCP/router support does not have the option doing a proxy for the metadata service (like in the upstream reference implementations). When an instance boots the traffic sent to the metadata service will have a HTTP header that will enable the metadata service to correctly query neutron to get the correct instance ID.
