The goal of this series is to make it easier to set up OVN in a larger setup, i.e. not having all services running on a single host.
Currently ovn-central package starts and stop all three services northbound-db, northd and southbound-db on the same host. While it is convenient for a single host setup, it is hard to test scale and HA, where OVN services may have to be installed on different hosts. This patch series splits the ovn-central package into three packages ovn-northbound-database, ovn-southbound-database and ovn-northd. Also, Each one provides the corresponding systemd services. Another drawback of current packaging is that ovsdb-server is part of vswitchd package. If one wants to run ovn-northbound-database, he needs to install and start vswitchd service as well. This is unnecessary and may lead to confusions. This patch series separate ovsdb-server into its own package. ovn-central package is retained to be friendly to single host deployments. However ovn-central service is marked as exclusive with the other three services mentioned above. (I am not sure if this is necessary, and may more confusing than its worth) Andy Zhou (5): rpms: Seperate ovsdb-server into its own package rpms: Style fixes rhel: Rename nrothd to central service ovn-ctl: Factor out start/stop ovnsb/ovnnb rpms: Adding three additional OVN packages ovn/utilities/ovn-ctl | 55 +++++++- ovn/utilities/ovn-ctl.8.xml | 4 + rhel/automake.mk | 3 + rhel/openvswitch-fedora.spec.in | 141 +++++++++++++++------ rhel/usr_lib_systemd_system_ovn-central.service | 34 +++++ ...sr_lib_systemd_system_ovn-northbound-db.service | 16 +++ rhel/usr_lib_systemd_system_ovn-northd.service | 29 ++++- ...sr_lib_systemd_system_ovn-southbound-db.service | 16 +++ 8 files changed, 251 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) create mode 100644 rhel/usr_lib_systemd_system_ovn-central.service create mode 100644 rhel/usr_lib_systemd_system_ovn-northbound-db.service create mode 100644 rhel/usr_lib_systemd_system_ovn-southbound-db.service -- 1.8.3.1 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
