[ovs-discuss] OVSDB initialization issues

[Shankari Vaidyalingam]

Hi Ben,


Thanks for the response.
I had executed the below commands to create the OVSDB server and to start
the same. Can you please let me know whether I have missed any command. I
thought "ovsdb-server" command starts the ovsdb-server. Pls correct me if
my understanding is wrong and let me know whether there are any specific
commands for starting it. But after executing the "'ovsdb-server"' command
also the issue was still there.(logs below)

controller at controller-Latitude-E5440:~$ mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/openvswitch
