[ovs-discuss] question of operating openvswitch

[Responding back on-list]

Since you're using XenServer, you can use the standard "xe" commands to see how things are configured.  Alternatively, you can run "ovs-vsctl list interface" to dump all the information about interfaces from the OVS configuration database.  For example, here's information about "vif7.1" on my system:

_uuid               : a2d5cbf5-1289-4c05-beca-ee31fc2f0f3a
external_ids        : {attached-mac="86:58:a8:c7:32:e5", iface-id="f5bc3ce6-3bd9-1057-5172-65d9c5f24256", xs-network-uuid="dff587ad-dcbc-f181-1e60-23ec40009528", xs-vif-uuid="f5bc3ce6-3bd9-1057-5172-65d9c5f24256", xs-vm-uuid="2e3c6409-6089-d02e-d971-b8e3e0e79cb3"}
ingress_policing_burst: 0
ingress_policing_rate: 0
mac                 : []
name                : "vif7.1"
ofport              : 1
options             : {}
other_config        : {}
statistics          : {collisions=0, rx_bytes=0, rx_crc_err=0, rx_dropped=0, rx_errors=0, rx_frame_err=0, rx_over_err=0, rx_packets=0, tx_bytes=0, tx_dropped=0, tx_errors=0, tx_packets=0}
status              : {}
type                : ""

You can see the VM's UUID by looking at the "xs-vm-uuid" key in "external_ids".
