Openshift with NSX-T Installation Part 5: NCP and CNI Integration

In this article, we will integrate NSX-T NCP and CNI to Openshift.

Step 01: Tag the Logical Switches Ports connected to OCP-Master, OCP-Node01 and OCP-Node02 VMs.

NSX-T Manager -> Switching -> LS-VIFs -> Related -> Ports -> Click on the respective logical ports -> Actions -> Manage Tags

• You can highlight the port to see which VMs is being Connected.

• Scope: ncp/node_name
• Tag: ocp-master
• Scope: ncp/cluster
• Tag: ocp-cl1

• Scope: ncp/node_name
• Tag: ocp-node01
• Scope: ncp/cluster
• Tag: ocp-cl1

• Scope: ncp/node_name
• Tag: ocp-node02
• Scope: ncp/cluster
• Tag: ocp-cl1

Step 02: On the master Node, lets fork the NSX-T Integration for Openshift. The below is using Yasen github, but its a fork from the actual nsxt integration from here -> https://github.com/vmware/nsx-integration-for-openshift.

On every node, run this

cd /root/nsx-container-2.1.3.8356796/Kubernetes

docker load -i nsx-ncp-rhel-2.1.3.8356796.tar

On all the 3 nodes, you have to do the following.
