Openstack f5 plugin installation problem "No module named drivers.f5.plugin_driver"

Hi

I am also experimenting as you are.

I found the pdf file "Neutron_LBaaS_F5BigIP_39.pdf" which I downloaded from this site helpful along with the pdf called "F5 VEs_OpenStack Deployment Guide_05_11_15.pdf"

In my neutron.conf file on the network node

[DEFAULT]
...
...
service_plugins = router,neutron.services.loadbalancer.plugin.LoadBalancerPlugin,firewall

[service_providers]
service_provider = LOADBALANCER:F5:neutron.services.loadbalancer.drivers.f5.plugin_driver.F5PluginDriver:default

I am stuck a little further on than you are. Neutron is recognizing the plugin and loading it at which point it logs into the F5 and is giving errors because of properties that are needed in /etc/neutron/f5-bigip-lbaas-agent.ini

But this should get you a little closer.

Hello Tim Thanks a lot for your fast response. I've checked and I have the same lines in my neutron.conf and the message is still there.

I didn't find the Neutron_LBaaS_F5BigIP_39.pdf yet, I will try this path now. If any new idea come up, don't hesitate in send it please. Thanks

From the logs it looks like it is not finding the plugin itself. Apologies for asking a basic question but did you install the agent on the neutron node?

There is a tar file with the driver rpm or deb files on it.

The tar file name is f5-lbaas_108-2_32.tgz

There is no basic question for me by the moment I installed the agent in my controller and the plugin in my neutron node. This before posting my problem, but do you know any command or procedure to check if they are properly installed. After installing the agent I restarted the neutron-server and the logs appeared. Regards

Hmm ok

I have to confess for my first experiment with this I have my controller and neutron running on the same server and my compute node on a separate server - so a 2 node lab.

I have some log entries in my /var/log/neutron/server.log and also in /var/log/neutron/f5-bigip-lbaas-agent.log Not sure that I can provide much more help than this - I am only a little further ahead than you in the experiment :-)

From reading your description of your deployment, try installing the driver on your neutron controller. The deployment guide says to install it where the neutron API server process is. This is often your neutron controller. The neutron node is typically running your agent processes ovs, dhcp, etc.

It is working now, I upgrade to thw newest version of plugin, installes python suds and all together with a proper .ini file configuration, it is working now.
