Hi,
Today, I downloaded the latest snapshot from git and followed the instructions
of INSTALL.bridge and INSTALL.Linux to use ovs as a replacement of Linux bridge.
OVS version is 0.99.2 and kernel is 2.6.26-2-amd64 on Debian lenny 5.03.
Below are the commands that I ran after 'make install' completed. ovsdb-server,
ovs-vswitchd, and ovs-brcompatd were called in separate shells to see the
messages.
% insmod datapath/linux-2.6/openvswitch_mod.ko
% insmod datapath/linux-2.6/brcompat_mod.ko
% ovsdb-tool create /etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema
% ovsdb-server /etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db --remote=punix:/var/run/ovsdb-server
% ovs-vswitchd -vANY:console:WARN unix:/var/run/ovsdb-server
% ovs-brcompatd -vANY:console:WARN unix:/var/run/ovsdb-server
ovsdb-server shows messages saying ovs-vswitchd and ovs-brcompatd are connected
and ovs-brcompatd complains
database does not contain any Open vSwitch configuration
when it gets started.
Then,
% brctl addbr br0
results in ovs-brcompatd dumping messages like
Mar 24 12:16:48|00031|brcompatd|WARN|could not find valid configuration
to update
Mar 24 12:17:21|00032|brcompatd|WARN|Dropped 32 log messages in last 60
seconds due to excessive rate
Mar 24 12:17:21|00033|brcompatd|WARN|unix:/var/run/ovsdb-server:
database does not contain any Open vSwitch configuration
and the brctl stops with
add bridge failed: Connection timed out
It seems like I should fill up vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema with right
configurations before calling 'ovsdb-tool create', should I?
Btw, ovs-vsctl connects to /usr/local/var/run/ovsdb-server by default instead
of /var/run/ovsdb-server. Either ovs-vsctl or the INSTALL instruction needs to
be revised to remove the discrepancy.
Thanks,
