[ovs-discuss] problem with ubuntu 14.04 boot integration

[Mandeep Sandhu]

I found a workaround. In case someone else hits this problem.
I can get things working if I install the Ubuntu integrated version of ovs first (2.0.2).
Then, without uninstalling I install 2.5.0.
Earlier I was always uninstalling whenever I switched between ovs versions.
It looks like the install script  for versions that are not integrated with Ubuntu is not installing all the required files/features.

My setup:
Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Kernel 3.13.0-32-generic
X86_64 GNU/Linux

I downloaded openvswitch 2.3.2 source and built it according to instructions here
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/INSTALL.md

You will likely find it easier to follow this:
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/INSTALL.Debian.md

And then follow it by reading:
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/debian/openvswitch-switch.README.Debian


Ran the testsuite and the tests that ran were all ok, some were skipped.

I need to have openvswitch started at bootup with interfaces specified in /etc/network/interfaces.
The upstart init script was missing from my downloaded source. Instead it had a debian /etc/init.d/ script.
I had to google for it and then copied it to /etc/init/openvswitch-switch.conf
I applied the patches as instructed here
https://github.com/jpfluger/examples/blob/master/ubuntu-14.04/openvswitch.md



After patching I can start and stop openvswitch service using
Sudo Service openvswitch-switch start|stop

I added a bridge in /etc/network/interfaces

auto ovs-lanbr0

allow-ovs ovs-lanbr0

iface ovs-lanbr0 inet manual

                ovs_type OVSBridge

                ovs_ports eth2





allow-ovs-lanbr0 eth2

iface eth2 inet manual

                ovs_bridge ovs-lanbr0

                                ovs_type OVSPort



On restarting openvswitch I can see ovs-lanbr0 with ifconfig but ovs-vsctl show does not show any bridge

On stopping openvswitch ovs-lanbr0 disappears from ifconfig.

I expect ovs-lanbr0 to show up on ovs-vsctl show when openvswitch is running.

Has anyone run into this problem ?

Any help is appreciated.





Thanks

Mandeep
