I guess the problem may be I am not defining controller out-of-band, since
controller is on other VM.
I tried using command: ovs-vsctl set-controller br1 connection-mode=out-of-band
, but it didn't work.
Later on, I found controller ID and used ovs-vsctl set-controller _uuid
connection_mode=out-of-band, and the connection became out of band but no
improvement yet.
I can see from the ovs-vsctl list controller command: status: {last_error="No
route to host", sec_since_disconnect="2",state=BACKOFF}
The route is defined ....... they can ping each other may be something else.

controller on two different VMs
Hi Justin,
Thanks for clarification. I didn't know that ovs-controller is itself a
controller, and used that command.
I want to use floodlight controller to connect with openvswitch. Can you share
about their config connectivity i.e. how would openvswitch connect with
controller (other than ovs-controller).

ovs-controller and Floodlight are two different OpenFlow controllers. I didn't
see any references to ovs-controller until the error message you showed at the
end. It appears to me it wasn't invoked properly and didn't have "ptcp:" or
something similar as an argument. However, it's not clear from your message
that you really intended to run ovs-controller.
