I have a couple of questions at various steps in starting up OVS manually.
I have highlighted them here:
By reading the documentation, I have understood it such that first, we need
to start configuration database, then ovsdb-server and at last ovs-vswitchd
Starting Configuration Database:
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/openvswitch
$ ovsdb-tool create /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db \
vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema
Q1) the second step give me error:
ovsdb-tool: failed to read schema: "vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema" could
not be read as JSON (error opening "vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema": No
such file or directory)
Configure ovsdb-server:
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/var/run/openvswitch
$ ovsdb-server --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock \
--remote=db:Open_vSwitch,Open_vSwitch,manager_options \
--private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key \
--certificate=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,certificate \
--bootstrap-ca-cert=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,ca_cert \
--pidfile --detach --log-file
Initialising database and starting ovs-vswitchd:
$ ovs-vsctl --no-wait init
$ ovs-vswitchd --pidfile --detach --log-file
Q2) How to shutdown OVS? I want to know what steps to follow to safely
shutdown OVS.
Q3) Do I need to perform all these steps each time I want to start my OVS?
