I think you are correct. How did you install Open vSwitch for SLES?
Did you install it through an official rpm? We have network
integration scripts for RHEL and Fedora. Unless someone has ported
that to SLES, it is unlikely to work.

You can read about the RHEL network integration script in the file
rhel/README.RHEL present in the Open vSwitch git repo. It is probably
possible to port it to SLES with some effort.
