Package: neutron-plugin-openvswitch-agent
Version: 2014.1.1-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After installing OpenStack Icehouse on a fresh and updated jessie box, OVS agent
fails to start with the log message (/var/log/neutron/ovs-agent.log):
2014-06-15 19:10:16.742 27348 ERROR
neutron.plugins.openvswitch.agent.ovs_neutron_agent
[req-6e17ad07-05ee-4d4a-bb41-27ad5aafdbdd None] Failed to create OVS patch
port.
Cannot have tunneling enabled on this agent, since this version of OVS does
not support
tunnels or patch ports. Agent terminated!
All the configuration was done following the step by step procedure of
OpenStack Official
Documentation (using gre tunnels)
openvswitch and gre modules are properly loaded:
lsmod |grep openvswitch
openvswitch 63887 0
gre 12777 1 openvswitch
vxlan 35023 1 openvswitch
libcrc32c 12426 2 xfs,openvswitch
AFAIK either openvswith-dapatath-source or openvswith-datapath-dkms aren't
needed
with kernels >= 3.11, so in-tree version of kernel openvswitch module can be
used.
Thanks and regards
Alberto

first of all, you would need at least version 3.13, or even maybe 3.14
of the kernel to be able to use the in-tree datapath module. Also, even
with these, the upstream authors of openvswith recommend to use the dkms
module, as it has more features.
What you did here:
> lsmod |grep openvswitch
> openvswitch 63887 0
> gre 12777 1 openvswitch
> vxlan 35023 1 openvswitch
> libcrc32c 12426 2 xfs,openvswitch
isn't correct, you're really searching for the datapath kernel module.
Last, if there's a problem (and I am not convince there is one if you
didn't install the dkms module), that would be in the openvswitch
package, not in Neutron. I'm therefore closing this bug. Feel free to
open a new bug against the openvswitch package if you feel you need to.
Oh, one last thing. To me, you need something newer than this:
ii openvswitch-switch 1.9.3+git20131029-1.1
There's the version 2.1.0+git20140411-3 in Sid, though it hasn't
migrated to Jessie yet. It will in 8 days normally. I'd suggest using
that, and install the dkms module, then try again.
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
