Midonet integration with OpenStack Mitaka
MidoNet is an Open Source network virtualization software for IaaS infrastructure. | It decouples your IaaS cloud from your network hardware, creating an intelligent software abstraction layer between your end hosts and your physical network. | This network abstraction layer allows the cloud operator to move what has traditionally been hardware-based network appliances into a software-based multi-tenant virtual domain.
This definition from MidoNet documentation explains what MidoNet is and what MidoNet does.
At this I will post cover my experiences integrating MidoNet with OpenStack. | I used the following configurations:
All servers have CentOS 7.2 installed
OpenStack has been previously installed from RDO packages with multinode Packstack
- x3 NSDB nodes (Casandra and Zookeeper services)
- x2 Gateway Nodes (Midolman Agent)
- x1 OpenStack Controller (MidoNet Cluster)
- x1 OpenStack compute node (Midolman Agent)

Issues I faced during configuration of Midonet
| Midolman agent don\'t start: | It was caused because midolman-env.sh file has more RAM configured as the one of my server. | Edit the file to match your server resources

I had to remove br-tun bridges at ovs, if not, ovs locks the device and midolman cannot create the tunnel beetwen compute nodes and gateway nodes.
