[ovs-discuss] Problem while trying to add bridge in a container

[Abhishek Chanda]

Hi all,

I am trying to run OVS in a docker container. A process on the
container adds a bridge using ovs-vsctl and another queries it using
ip link show. After the bridge is added, it shows up on querying using
ovs-vsctl but does not show up on ip link show. ovs-vswitchd log shows
the bridge being added, being configured and after some time, it does
not show up. On the host, everything works fine till the container is
started. How do I debug this?

The container is running with host networking and in privileged mode.

For the host:
cloudscaling at mngmt2:~/ovs> uname -a
Linux mngmt2 3.16.7-7-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 17 18:00:44 UTC
2014 (762f27a) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
cloudscaling at mngmt2:~/ovs> ovs-vsctl --version
ovs-vsctl (Open vSwitch) 2.3.90
Compiled Feb 13 2015 12:42:21
DB Schema 7.11.1

Thanks
