No problem > We'll think of work-arounds I didn't consider the need of having the intermediate steps between the daemons when I did the systemd units, so it made sense to expose a single unit representing the service instead of one unit per daemon. But since there is a need for special procedures which includes managing each daemon separately, it seems the solution would be to split the current unit in two, one for each daemon. After that, we can create ordinary commands that can do a mix of managing the daemons and execute external commands without messing up with systemd states. fbl > On Mon, Nov 24, 2014 at 5:45 PM, Flavio Leitner <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 09:31:18AM -0800, Alex Wang wrote: > > > Hey Flavio, > > > > > > We encountered this issue recently: > > > > > > The /etc/init.d/openvswitch script can take options like --save-flows= > > > which will save and restore all OpenFlow flows during restart... > > > > > > However, this does not work on RHEL 7.
