ASF 4.1 cloudstack with openvswitch support for RHEL 6.3 KVM test configuration setup:
After completing http://nullworks.wordpress.com/2012/09/19/kvm-and-openvswitch-on-centos-6-3-minimal/ to setup RHEL 6.3 openvswitch, encountered following problems: 1. In this scenario, after service openvswitch start, host is still up running but completely lost connection to network. [root@Rack3Host16 /]# service openvswitch start Inserting brcompat module [ OK ] Starting ovsdb-server [ OK ] Configuring Open vSwitch system IDs [ OK ] Starting ovs-vswitchd [ OK ] Starting ovs-brcompatd [ OK ] iptables already has a rule for gre, not explicitly enabling. [root@Rack3Host16 /]# 2. content of various files: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ovsbr1 : DEVICE=ovsbr1 ONBOOT=yes DEVICETYPE=ovs TYPE=OVSBridge BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.223.58.195 GATEWAY=10.223.58.193 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 HOTPLUG=no QUESTION: Is http://nullworks.wordpress.com/2012/09/19/kvm-and-openvswitch-on-centos-6-3-minimal/ Valid configuration instructions for openvswitch RHEL 6.3 or are there other updated correct configuration steps? Thanks
