Nuage VRS

Overview

The principle use of this charm is with the nova-compute charm as a subordinate and used within an OpenStack deployment .

This charm should be used with other principle charms to install and configure
the service units as Transport Nodes within a Nuage controller cluster.

NOTE: this charm relies on binaries that are distributed to customers of Nuage Networks VSP solution.

Usage

The VRS repositories are as an URL (http/ppa) by Nuage Networks to customers to download and deploy using Juju deployer..

The charm expects to find deb's; if they are missing the install hook will error out.

To deploy:
juju deploy nuage-vrs
juju add-relation nuage-vrs nova-compute
juju add-relation nuage-vrs nuage-vsc

Note that the nuage-vsc relation is optional if the nuage services are not deployed using JUJU chanrms.
