Description of VMware configuration options

Configuration option = Default value	Description
[DEFAULT]
default_interface_name = breth0	(StrOpt) Name of the interface on a L2 Gateway transport nodewhich should be used by default when setting up a network connection
default_l2_gw_service_uuid = None	(StrOpt) Unique identifier of the NSX L2 Gateway service which will be used by default for network gateways
default_l3_gw_service_uuid = None	(StrOpt) Unique identifier of the NSX L3 Gateway service which will be used for implementing routers and floating IPs
default_service_cluster_uuid = None	(StrOpt) Unique identifier of the Service Cluster which will be used by logical services like dhcp and metadata
default_tz_uuid = None	(StrOpt) This is uuid of the default NSX Transport zone that will be used for creating tunneled isolated "Neutron" networks. It needs to be created in NSX before starting Neutron with the nsx plugin.
http_timeout = 75	(IntOpt) Time before aborting a request
nsx_controllers = None	(ListOpt) Lists the NSX controllers in this cluster
nsx_password = admin	(StrOpt) Password for NSX controllers in this cluster
nsx_user = admin	(StrOpt) User name for NSX controllers in this cluster
redirects = 2	(IntOpt) Number of times a redirect should be followed
retries = 2	(IntOpt) Number of time a request should be retried
[ESWITCH]
retries = 3	(IntOpt) The number of retries the agent will send request to daemon before giving up
[NSX]
agent_mode = agent	(StrOpt) The mode used to implement DHCP/metadata services.
concurrent_connections = 10	(IntOpt) Maximum concurrent connections to each NSX controller.
default_transport_type = stt	(StrOpt) The default network tranport type to use (stt, gre, bridge, ipsec_gre, or ipsec_stt)
max_lp_per_bridged_ls = 5000	(IntOpt) Maximum number of ports of a logical switch on a bridged transport zone (default 5000)
max_lp_per_overlay_ls = 256	(IntOpt) Maximum number of ports of a logical switch on an overlay transport zone (default 256)
metadata_mode = access_network	(StrOpt) If set to access_network this enables a dedicated connection to the metadata proxy for metadata server access via Neutron router. If set to dhcp_host_route this enables host route injection via the dhcp agent. This option is only useful if running on a host that does not support namespaces otherwise access_network should be used.
nsx_gen_timeout = -1	(IntOpt) Number of seconds a generation id should be valid for (default -1 meaning do not time out)
replication_mode = service	(StrOpt) The default option leverages service nodes to perform packet replication though one could set to this to 'source' to perform replication locally. This is useful if one does not want to deploy a service node(s). It must be set to 'service' for leveraging distributed routers.
[NSX_DHCP]
default_lease_time = 43200	(IntOpt) Default DHCP lease time
domain_name = openstacklocal	(StrOpt) Domain to use for building the hostnames
extra_domain_name_servers =	(ListOpt) Comma separated list of additional domain name servers
[NSX_LSN]
sync_on_missing_data = False	(BoolOpt) Pull LSN information from NSX in case it is missing from the local data store. This is useful to rebuild the local store in case of server recovery.
[NSX_METADATA]
metadata_server_address = 127.0.0.1	(StrOpt) IP address used by Metadata server.
metadata_server_port = 8775	(IntOpt) TCP Port used by Metadata server.
metadata_shared_secret =	(StrOpt) Shared secret to sign instance-id request
[NSX_SYNC]
always_read_status = False	(BoolOpt) Always read operational status from backend on show operations. Enabling this option might slow down the system.
max_random_sync_delay = 0	(IntOpt) Maximum value for the additional random delay in seconds between runs of the state synchronization task
min_chunk_size = 500	(IntOpt) Minimum number of resources to be retrieved from NSX during state synchronization
min_sync_req_delay = 1	(IntOpt) Minimum delay, in seconds, between two state synchronization queries to NSX. It must not exceed state_sync_interval
state_sync_interval = 10	(IntOpt) Interval in seconds between runs of the state synchronization task. Set it to 0 to disable it
[vcns]
datacenter_moid = None	(StrOpt) Optional parameter identifying the ID of datacenter to deploy NSX Edges
datastore_id = None	(StrOpt) Optional parameter identifying the ID of datastore to deploy NSX Edges
deployment_container_id = None	(StrOpt) Optional parameter identifying the ID of datastore to deploy NSX Edges
external_network = None	(StrOpt) Network ID for physical network connectivity
manager_uri = None	(StrOpt) uri for vsm
password = default	(StrOpt) Password for vsm
resource_pool_id = None	(StrOpt) Optional parameter identifying the ID of resource to deploy NSX Edges
task_status_check_interval = 2000	(IntOpt) Task status check interval
user = admin	(StrOpt) User name for vsm
