Overview
The IPAM driver consists of two components: the networking_infoblox Python module, and the infoblox-ipam-agent. Each of these depend upon the infoblox-client [1] library.
The IPAM driver will be consulted by Neutron whenever subnet or IP allocation is needed. The driver will use RESTful API calls (aka, “Web-API” or “WAPI”) to perform these operations in Infoblox. Additionally, the driver will tag each of these entities in Infoblox with various meta-data from OpenStack, such as the tenant and the corresponding OpenStack IDs for the objects. This tagging allows the entities to show up in the Cloud tab of the UI (which is available with the Cloud Network Automation license), giving full visibility into the OpenStack cloud from within Infoblox.
The agent serves a few functions. First, it will populate the local Neutron database with data about the Infoblox grid. This enables the selection of the member and the network view to be made when allocating subnets and IP addresses, without additional WAPI calls. Second, it listens for events on the OpenStack message bus, and makes WAPI calls related to objects that are not directly part of the IPAM function.
Installation and Configuration
See the documentation link above for details on Installation and Configuration or check doc/source/…
Known issues
When deploying an instance with a domain label exceeding 63 characters, an unknown host record name appears in the zone on NIOS. This is due to the NIOS restriction of max 63 characters for domain labels.
If a DNS zone is deleted, the corresponding network entry in NIOS must be deleted prior to running the synchronization tool. Otherwise the synchronization would fail.
If a host record from a DNS zone is deleted, the corresponding port entry in NIOS must be deleted prior to running the synchronization tool. Otherwise the synchronization would fail.
Once the IPAM driver create a Network View on Infoblox, the name of the Network View should not be changed. Changing Network View name on Infoblox would result in data synchronization issue. This will be addressed in a future release of the IPAM driver.
If the Default Domain Name Pattern includes one of the following patterns: {tenant_name}, {network_name} or {subnet_name}, the names of of the corresponding objects should not be changed in OpenStack once they are created. Changing them would result in data synchronization issue. This will be addressed in a future release of the IPAM driver.
