[ovs-discuss] Difference seen in OVSDB initialization with & without DPDK

[Shankari Vaidyalingam]

Hi

The excerpt below was due to a wrong copy paste of the commands at the
command prompt which gave the error message: "No such file or directory".

The error which I had mentioned in my previous message was:

controller at controller-Latitude-E5440:~openvswitch-2.3.1$ sudo ovsdb-tool
create /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema
controller at controller-Latitude-E5440:~openvswitch-2.3.1$ sudo ovsdb-server
/usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db
--remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
--remote=db:Open_vSwitch,Open_vSwitch,manager_options --pidfile --detach
--log-file
2015-01-05T07:11:19Z|00001|vlog|INFO|opened log file
/usr/local/var/log/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.log



controller at controller-Latitude-E5440:~openvswitch-2.3.1$ sudo ovs-vsctl
--no-wait init

 I'm executing here 226
 Can proceed further
 About to connect to the dataabase 239
 ovsdb_idl_is_alive(idl) = 1
 ==== Entering the database section =====
 DBG: s->pstream is NULL
 DBG: s->stream is non NULL
ovs-vsctl: unix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock: database connection
failed (Connection refused)
