Hello, Thanks for your answers. I see in the rhel init.d service script on the openvswitch git that they are specifying in the start part: . /usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ovs-lib || exit 1
Is it necessary to do this step? Is this step making that ovs-ctl is working without invoking the full path to the script? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Gurucharan Shetty [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: martes, 04 de marzo de 2014 16:41 To: Cristina Palomo Regidor Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ovs-discuss] ovs-ctl start question On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 6:17 AM, Cristina Palomo Regidor <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Regarding the command ovs-ctl start in the service script under > /etc/init.d, if I put the option: > > --system-id=random > > Does it matter that this option was not specified when I installed the > openvswitch and started it manually using the commands that are > specified in > openvswitch.org: > http://git.openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob_pla > in;f=INSTALL;hb=HEAD It is okay if you started the daemons manually. The system-id is useful for integration with a controller. The IntegrationGuide has the following information: The Open_vSwitch table describes the switch as a whole. The 'system_type' and 'system_version' columns identify the platform to the controller. The 'external_ids:system-id' key uniquely identifies the physical host. In XenServer, the system-id will likely be the same as the UUID returned by 'xe host-list'. This key allows controllers to distinguish between multiple hypervisors. Most of this configuration can be done with the ovs-ctl command at startup. For example: ovs-ctl --system-type="XenServer" --system-version="6.0.0-50762p" \ --system-id="${UUID}" "${other_options}" start Alternatively, the ovs-vsctl command may be used to set a particular value at runtime. For example: ovs-vsctl set open_vswitch . external-ids:system-id='"${UUID}"' > > I mean that if you use that commands you don't specify nothing similar > to that option. > > Thanks and BR/ > > > > > _______________________________________________ > discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss > _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
