The Infoblox IPAM adapter for OpenStack Neutron should be installed on the controller nodes that are running your `neutron-server`. The installation consists of the following steps:

1. Configure the Infoblox Grid, as described in *[Configuring the Infoblox Grid](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ipamdriverosneutron/pages/53056267)*.
2. Install the adapter module on the controller nodes, as described in *[Installing the IPAM Driver](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ipamdriverosneutron/pages/53121876)*.
3. Run database migrations to create the Infoblox tables, as described in *[Creating the Infoblox Neutron Database](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ipamdriverosneutron/pages/53121940)*.
4. Modify neutron.conf and nova.conf, as described in *[Modifying the OpenStack Configuration](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ipamdriverosneutron/pages/53023822)*.
5. Start the Infoblox IPAM Agent, as described in *[Starting the Infoblox IPAM Agent](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ipamdriverosneutron/pages/53056291)*.
6. Restart the neutron-server and nova-compute services, as described in *[Restarting the Services](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ipamdriverosneutron/pages/53215258)*.
7. Optional: Migrate networks, subnets, and ports from OpenStack to the Infoblox Grid, as described in *[Creating Extensible Attribute Definitions and Network View Associations](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ipamdriverosneutron/pages/53023764)*.
