[rhos-list] quantum net-create throws 403 forbidden error

[Xin Zhao]

Hello,

After changing the endpoint for the quantum service to point to the 
controller host IP, where the networking service API runs, the quantum 
commands work now.
So looks like there is a doc bug in this section 
(https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_OpenStack/3/html/Installation_and_Configuration_Guide/Creating_the_Service_Endpoint.html),
when it says " Replace /|IP|/ with the IP address or host name of the 
system that will be acting as the network node. "

Anyway, I now have a new error:

# quantum net-create public01 --router:external True 
--provider:network_type flat --provider:physical_network physextnet
Invalid input for operation: Unknown provider:physical_network physextnet.

Here is the corresponding error messages from the 
/var/log/quantum/server.log file on the controller node:

2013-10-14 11:18:01    ERROR [quantum.api.v2.resource] create failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantum/api/v2/resource.py", 
line 82, in resource
     result = method(request=request, **args)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantum/api/v2/base.py", line 
369, in create
     obj = obj_creator(request.context, **kwargs)
   File 
"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantum/plugins/openvswitch/ovs_quantum_plugin.py", 
line 469, in create_network
     network['network'])
   File 
"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/quantum/plugins/openvswitch/ovs_quantum_plugin.py", 
line 438, in _process_provider_create
     raise q_exc.InvalidInput(error_message=msg)
InvalidInput: Invalid input for operation: Unknown 
provider:physical_network physextnet.

Any wisdom on what I miss here?

Thanks,
Xin
