Fujitsu Neutron ML2 Mechanism Driver for ISM

[Yushiro FURUKAWA]

We'd like to implement ML2 Mechanism Driver for
FUJITSU Software ServerView Infrastructure Manager(ISM)[1]

It calls RestAPI(formatted for ISM) from ML2 plugin of Neutron to ISM.

Fujitsu ISM enables integrated management with following contents:
  * VLAN configuration for managed switches
  * Arrangement of the rack in floor
  * Status of devices
  * Performance information
  * Maximum power consumption

Problem description
===================
Fujitsu ISM requires information of OpenStack Neutron based ports and networks
to setup VLANs into the switch port of managed switch.
But, currently there is no way to inform ISM to such Neutron's information.
Therefore, a new ML2 mechanism driver is necessary to post the _postcommit data
to Fujitsu ISM.

This is not an RFE. A vendor specific extension does not need to be tracked in Neutron itself.

This doesn't need an RFE, removed the tag.

[Henry Gessau (gessau)]

You need to create your own repo and develop your mechanism driver outside of the neutron tree.
