I've been experimenting with OVS (1.1.0pre2) alongside OpenVZ running on Debian
Squeeze (2.6.32-5) and was wondering if anyone had any experience or advice
with this sort of setup?
Normally with OpenVZ I would create a bridge and add the containers' veth
interfaces to the bridge. The config in /etc/network/interfaces ends up looking
like:
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
auto vzbr0
iface vzbr0 inet static
address 10.0.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.254
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
The command to join the container's eth0 veth interface to the bridge is just:
vzctl set 100 --netif_add eth0,,,,vzbr0 --save
Reading the Open vSwitch documentation on VLANs
(http://openvswitch.org/?page_id=146) it describes exactly how I'd want the
bridges to operate, as a VLAN trunk to my switches, but I'm not quite sure what
config I'm expected to use to set the bridges up. I've tried creating a new
bridge with both ovs-vsctl (add-br, add-port) and brctl but I'm not seeing any
traffic going to my containers.
Any help is much appreciated.
