[ovs-discuss] Question about Remote Control of OVS-daemon

[Nikos]

Yeah but in that way I would have to enter manually the ips of the host. 

I was looking for something that would give a command to all the hosts that
host3  is attached. 

Like if I had a deployment of 100 PC adding 100 ips for one command wouldn’
t be effective

 

Thanks again!

I think you should start OvS listening on tcp but not unix socket on host0
and host1.
And use command on host3 like
ovsctl --db=tcp:<ip>:<port> <command>

Hi, 

I'm having two pc's running ovs-daemon and some virtual machines on them. I
haven't created any VLANs yet but i would like to ask if i could remotely
(let's say the hosts 0 lays in usa host 1 in europe and host3 is in Canada)
control both of them using the same properties and changes without having to
change in every single machine over internet. Is what I am asking related to
VMware’s vNetwork distributed vswitch or Cisco’s Nexus 1000V you mention
in the site? Can this be achieved with an open source program. 

Thanks in advance
