Hello folks, I have filed a bug in os-vif: https://bugs.launchpad.net/os-vif/+bug/1778724 and working on a patch. Any feedback/comments from you guys would be extremely helpful.
Bug details: OVS DB server has the feature of listening over a TCP socket for connections rather than just on the unix domain socket. [0] If the OVS DB server is listening over a TCP socket, then the ovs-vsctl commands should include the ovsdb_connection parameter: # ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:IP:PORT ... eg: # ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:169.254.1.1:6640 add-port br-int eth0 Neutron supports running the ovs-vsctl commands with the ovsdb_connection parameter. The ovsdb_connection parameter is configured in openvswitch_agent.ini file. [1] While adding a vif to the ovs bridge(br-int), Nova(os-vif) invokes the ovs-vsctl command. Today, there is no support to pass the ovsdb_connection parameter while invoking the ovs-vsctl command. The support should be added. This would enhance the functionality of os-vif, since it would support a scenario when OVS DB server is listening on a TCP socket connection and on functional parity with Neutron.
