[Rdo-list] Network Isolation setup check

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to deploy a tripleo environment with network isolation using
a pool of 8 machines: 3 controller, 2 compute and 3 storage.
Each of those machine has got 2 network interfaces, the first one (em1)
connected to the lan, the second one (em2) used for the undercloud
provisioning.

The ultimate goal of the setup is to have the ExternalNet on the em1 (so
to be able to put instances with floating Ips in the LAN) and all the
other networks (InternalApi, Storage and StorageMgmt) on the em2.

To produce what described I created this network-environment.yaml
configuration:

resource_registry:
  OS::TripleO::BlockStorage::Net::SoftwareConfig:
/home/stack/nic-configs/cinder-storage.yaml
  OS::TripleO::Compute::Net::SoftwareConfig:
/home/stack/nic-configs/compute.yaml
  OS::TripleO::Controller::Net::SoftwareConfig:
/home/stack/nic-configs/controller.yaml
  OS::TripleO::ObjectStorage::Net::SoftwareConfig:
/home/stack/nic-configs/swift-storage.yaml
  OS::TripleO::CephStorage::Net::SoftwareConfig:
/home/stack/nic-configs/ceph-storage.yaml

parameter_defaults:
  # Customize the IP subnets to match the local environment
  InternalApiNetCidr: 172.17.0.0/24
  StorageNetCidr: 172.18.0.0/24
  StorageMgmtNetCidr: 172.19.0.0/24
  TenantNetCidr: 172.16.0.0/24
  ExternalNetCidr: 10.1.240.0/24
  ControlPlaneSubnetCidr: '24'
  InternalApiAllocationPools: [{'start': '172.17.0.10', 'end':
'172.17.0.200'}]
  StorageAllocationPools: [{'start': '172.18.0.10', 'end': '172.18.0.200'}]
  StorageMgmtAllocationPools: [{'start': '172.19.0.10', 'end':
'172.19.0.200'}]
  TenantAllocationPools: [{'start': '172.16.0.10', 'end': '172.16.0.200'}]
  ExternalAllocationPools: [{'start': '10.1.240.10', 'end': '10.1.240.200'}]
  # Specify the gateway on the external network.
  ExternalInterfaceDefaultRoute: 10.1.240.254
  # Gateway router for the provisioning network (or Undercloud IP)
  ControlPlaneDefaultRoute: 192.0.2.1
  # Generally the IP of the Undercloud
  EC2MetadataIp: 192.0.2.1
  DnsServers: ["10.1.241.2"]
  InternalApiNetworkVlanID: 2201
  StorageNetworkVlanID: 2203
  StorageMgmtNetworkVlanID: 2204
  TenantNetworkVlanID: 2202
  # This won't actually be used since external is on native VLAN, just
here for reference
  #ExternalNetworkVlanID: 38
  # Floating IP networks do not have to use br-ex, they can use any
bridge as long as the NeutronExternalNetworkBridge is set to "''".
  NeutronExternalNetworkBridge: "''"

And modified the controller.yaml file in this way (default parts are
omitted, nic1 == em1 and nic2 == em2):

                  -
                    ip_netmask: {get_param: TenantIpSubnet}

outputs:
  OS::stack_id:
    description: The OsNetConfigImpl resource.
    value: {get_resource: OsNetConfigImpl}

The deploy of the overcloud was invoked with this command:

openstack overcloud deploy --templates --libvirt-type=kvm --ntp-server
10.5.26.10 --control-scale 3 --compute-scale 2 --ceph-storage-scale 3
--block-storage-scale 0 --swift-storage-scale 0 --control-flavor
baremetal --compute-flavor baremetal --ceph-storage-flavor baremetal
--block-storage-flavor baremetal --swift-storage-flavor baremetal
--templates -e
/usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/network-isolation.yaml
-e
/usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/net-single-nic-with-vlans.yaml
-e /home/stack/network-environment.yaml

Now the point is that I need to know if my configurations are formally
correct since I got some network problems once the post deployment
status were done.
I still don't know (we're investigating) if those problems are related
to the switch configurations (so hardware side) but for some reason
everything exploded.
What I saw until the machines were reachable was what I was expecting:
the external address assigned to em1 and the vlans correctly assigned to
the em2. With all the external IPs address pingable one to each other.
But I was not able to do further tests.

>From your point of view, do I miss something?

Many thanks,
