           <h2>Plugins <small>Add stuff</small></h2>
           <p>DevStack has a couple of plugin mechanisms to allow easily adding support for additional projects and features.</p>
 
           <h3>Extras.d Hooks</h3>
           <p>These relatively new hooks are an extension of the existing calls from <code>stack.sh</code> at the end of its run, plus <code>unstack.sh</code> and <code>clean.sh</code>.  A number of the higher-layer projects are implemented in DevStack using this mechanism.</p>
 
           <p>The script in <code>extras.d</code> is expected to be mostly a dispatcher to functions in a <code>lib/*</code> script.  The scripts are named with a zero-padded two digits sequence number prefix to control the order that the scripts are called, and with a suffix of <code>.sh</code>.  DevSack reserves for itself the sequence numbers 00 through 09 and 90 through 99.</p>
 
           <p>Below is a template that shows handlers for the possible command-line arguments:</p>
 
 <pre>
 # template.sh - DevStack extras.d dispatch script template
 
 # check for service enabled
 if is_service_enabled template; then
 
     if [[ "$1" == "source" ]]; then
         # Initial source of lib script
         source $TOP_DIR/lib/template
     fi
 
1c42599a
     if [[ "$1" == "stack" && "$2" == "pre-install" ]]; then
         # Set up system services
         echo_summary "Configuring system services Template"
         install_package cowsay
 
     elif [[ "$1" == "stack" && "$2" == "install" ]]; then
54b97323
         # Perform installation of service source
         echo_summary "Installing Template"
         install_template
 
     elif [[ "$1" == "stack" && "$2" == "post-config" ]]; then
         # Configure after the other layer 1 and 2 services have been configured
         echo_summary "Configuring Template"
         configure_template
 
     elif [[ "$1" == "stack" && "$2" == "extra" ]]; then
         # Initialize and start the template service
         echo_summary "Initializing Template"
         ##init_template
     fi
 
     if [[ "$1" == "unstack" ]]; then
         # Shut down template services
         # no-op
         :
     fi
 
     if [[ "$1" == "clean" ]]; then
         # Remove state and transient data
         # Remember clean.sh first calls unstack.sh
         # no-op
         :
     fi
 fi
 </pre>
 
           <p>The arguments are:
           <ul>
             <li><strong>source</strong> - Called by each script that utilizes <code>extras.d</code> hooks; this replaces directly sourcing the <code>lib/*</code> script.</li>
             <li><strong>stack</strong> - Called by <code>stack.sh</code> three times for different phases of its run:
               <ul>
1c42599a
                 <li><strong>pre-install</strong> - Called after system (OS) setup is complete and before project source is installed.</li>
54b97323
                 <li><strong>install</strong> - Called after the layer 1 and 2 projects source and their dependencies have been installed.</li>
                 <li><strong>post-config</strong> - Called after the layer 1 and 2 services have been configured.  All configuration files for enabled services should exist at this point.</li>
                 <li><strong>extra</strong> - Called near the end after layer 1 and 2 services have been started.  This is the existing hook and has not otherwise changed.</li>
               </ul></li>
             <li><strong>unstack</strong> - Called by <code>unstack.sh</code> before other services are shut down.</li>
             <li><strong>clean</strong> - Called by <code>clean.sh</code> before other services are cleaned, but after <code>unstack.sh</code> has been called.
           </ul></p>
 
 
           <h3>Hypervisor</h3>
           <p>Hypervisor plugins are fairly new and condense most hypervisor configuration into one place.</p>
 
           <p>The initial plugin implemented was for Docker support and is a useful template for the required support.  Plugins are placed in <code>lib/nova_plugins</code> and named <code>hypervisor-&lt;name&gt;</code> where <code>&lt;name&gt;</code> is the value of <code>VIRT_DRIVER</code>.  Plugins must define the following functions:</p>
             <ul>
               <li><code>install_nova_hypervisor</code> - install any external requirements</li>
               <li><code>configure_nova_hypervisor</code> - make configuration changes, including those to other services</li>
               <li><code>start_nova_hypervisor</code> - start any external services</li>
               <li><code>stop_nova_hypervisor</code> - stop any external services</li>
               <li><code>cleanup_nova_hypervisor</code> - remove transient data and cache</li>
             </ul>
