That video is using VirtualBox. The error mentions macvtap – I think the GUI 
should allow you to add the tap as a virtio.

Subject: [ovs-discuss] VMM + OVS : Error starting domain: error creating 
macvtap interface macvtap0@vport5 (52:54:00:55:18:e7): Device or resource busy

Hello, thanks for your attention.

I would like to kindly request support/advice/feedback about an issue that I am 
having with the Virtual Machine Manager and OpenVSwitch.

I am deploying 7 Virtual Machines (Virtual Machine Manager 1.4.1, CentOS 7) and 
need to connect them to an OpenVSwitch (2.5.2)  bridge for SDN purposes.
I installed OVS without any complications following this guide: 
https://gist.github.com/umardx/a31bf6a13600a55c0d07d4ca33133834
Later on, I created an OVS bridge with 7 ports, each one for my 7 VMs, 
following this very clear tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYW7kQRyUvA
At the moment I Power On any of the 7 VMs I get the following error:

Error starting domain: error creating macvtap interface macvtap0@vport5 
(52:54:00:55:18:e7): Device or resource busy

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 88, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 124, in tmpcb
    callback(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/libvirtobject.py", line 83, in newfn
    ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1489, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1039, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: error creating macvtap interface macvtap0@vport5 
(52:54:00:55:18:e7): Device or resource busy

I've tried cloning the VMs thinking that adding the network interface later 
after creating the VM was the problem but the error continues to show up.

In addition I restarted the OVS service and the result is the same.

Thanks in advance for your attention, I apologize if this is not the correct 
channel to escalate this error, and would appreciate that you point me where I 
should direct it to.


Kind Regards,
Sebastian
