Suppose that Controller, Network and Compute node are at seperate physical host, is Quantum+OVS needed on Network node?

Asked by Havent

I made an evironment as Nova Controller + Nova Network + Nova Compute on one physical host, but if I need a distributed environment and want to make Nova Controller, Nova Network and Nova Compute seperate from each other. So Quantum+OVS must be installed on Nova Compute node, is it needed to be installed on Nova-network node or Nova-Controller node?
Thanks.

if you are using nova-network for DHCP or L3/NAT forwarding, you will need to install OVS and be running the OVS agent on that host, just as if it where a compute node. See: "Nova Network Node Configuration" section of http://openvswitch.org/openstack/documentation/
