Hi,

Thank you both for your replies.

Changing openvswitch user to root  works.


/etc/sysconfig/openvswitch

OVS_USER_ID="root:hugetlbfs"


This are the current openvswitch perms and owenership


ls -lad /var/run/openvswitch/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root hugetlbfs 240 May 20 18:08 /var/run/openvswitch

Sorry the quick reply, I think /var/run/openvswitch is owned by
root.root and then ovs cannot open the socket there.

On my system:
ls -lad /var/run/openvswitch/
drwxr-xr-x 2 openvswitch hugetlbfs 200 May 14 09:56 /var/run/openvswitch/


Then OVS and QEMU runs as gid hugetlbfs.
