A quick search suggests that kernel has CONFIG_BRIDGE=n set.
So I presume there another method is possible through config.
Gary any ideas?

Please look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877704. For some reason the the bridge module is not loaded. I hope that if you follow what is listed in the bug then it will all work and the experience will improve.

Thanks

Running latest EPEL Folsom packages on RHEL 6.3. Three nodes right now, one controller, one network node, one compute node. The network node has three NICs, one for external net, one for management net, one for VM network traffic. It has been a miserable journey so far.

The lastest calamity began with a failed spawn of the Cirros test image. I booted it like this:

# nova --os-username demo --os-password demo --os-tenant-name demoProject boot --image aefa581f-47b0-4d46-8dbc-1a1f7f02dfa0 --flavor 2 --nic net-id=3de1e780-07d1-42af-89cc-0feaf1ece6e9 server-01

This succeeded but went directly into an ERROR state. The compute node's /var/log/nova/compute.log showed this:

ProcessExecutionError: Unexpected error while running command.
Command: sudo nova-rootwrap /etc/nova/rootwrap.conf brctl addbr qbr2218b8c4-7d
Exit code: 1
Stdout: ''
Stderr: 'add bridge failed: Package not installed\n'

Hrm.  So then I ran this:

# brctl show

GAH! What!!! First of all, bridge capability is set by default in the RHEL 6.3 kernel. Secondly, nova knows that it's supposed to be using openvswitch. The ProcessExecutionError's trace showed that the offending code came from /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/vif.py line 216 which has this comment:

     def plug(self, instance, vif):
         """Plug using hybrid strategy

         Create a per-VIF linux bridge, then link that bridge to the OVS
         integration bridge via a veth device, setting up the other end
         of the veth device just like a normal OVS port.  Then boot the
         VIF on the linux bridge using standard libvirt mechanisms
         """

Thirdly, ovs-vsctrl is happy:

# ovs-vsctl show
44435595-8cc8-469c-ace4-ded76a7b864d
     Bridge "br-eth1"
         Port "br-eth1"
             Interface "br-eth1"
                 type: internal
         Port "phy-br-eth1"
             Interface "phy-br-eth1"
         Port "eth1"
             Interface "eth1"
     Bridge br-int
         Port "int-br-eth1"
             Interface "int-br-eth1"
         Port br-int
             Interface br-int
                 type: internal
     ovs_version: "1.7.3"

Final note, my network node fails the same way, but the controller does not.

I hope so much that somebody knows what is going on here. This is very terrible for me as I am struggling to achieve minimal functionality. Thanks.
