[ovs-discuss] can i use the ovs-vsctl command to add a bridge for a remote ovs

[Kris zhang]

Thanks Justin,  just now i run the command: ovsdb-server --remote=ptcp:6677.

it says: I/O error: /etc/openvswitch/conf.db: fail to lock lockfile
(Resouce temporarily unavailable).

and then i use command: ps -elf|grep ovs
i found there is a process pid=3456 ovsdb-server
--remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock

Need i to kill this process firstly? (BTW there is no a man page for
ovsdb-server in http://openvswitch.org/support/)

Thanks,
Kris
