[ovs-discuss] help: test-openflowd and system at dp1: execute 1 failed (Invalid argument)

Hi,
After compilation of OVS, you can run the following commands (Commands are
taken from *INSTALL.Linux* as described by Ben Pfaf). Go to ovsdb directory
first. In OVS1.1.2, you can found it in openvswitch/utilities.
*
*
*a) create configuration database*
*% mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/openvswitch*
*% ./ovsdb-tool create /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db
../vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema*
*b) start configuration database of OVS*
*% ./ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db
--remote=punix:/ovs/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
--remote=db:Open_vSwitch,manager_options --pidfile --detach*
*% cd ../utilities/*
*% ./ovs-vsctl --no-wait init*
*c) start OVS demon*
*% cd ../vswitchd/*
*% ./ovs-vswitchd unix:/ovs/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock*
*d) setup bridges and other OVS features*
*
% ovs-vsctl add-br br0
% ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0
% ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth1
d) connect to controller
*
After that you can connect to controller by using following command
*% ./ovs-vsctl set-controller br0 tcp:10.3.70.116:6633*
