Configuring the OpenStack plugin

When the OpenStack Neutron ML2 mech driver connects to the Fabric Services System and the Connect service, it will automatically create its own Connect deployment.

However, this deployment will be administratively Down, and so will not be functional.

Deployments are set to be administratively Down to prevent unwanted changes in the fabric and serve as another check for an Administrator to approve the specific OpenStack cluster to integrate with, and control, the fabric.

To bring this deployment administratively Up, update the deployment. To do this, fetch the deployment by name based on the plugin's deployment_name setting, and set the adminUp field to True. For more information, see Setting the AdminUp status for a deployment.
