:-) > Good news :) I'will go into the source code. > If you have a link to point me to the right direction, i take it ;) Sure, you have to provide the same methods as the Ifcfg class in vdsm/netconf/ifcfg.py So basically taking netdev objects and using them to then call open vSwitch to create them. You can also look at the ongoing vdsm/netconf/iproute2.py for another example. There are some extra considerations to take care about, like persistence and such (the patches are being finished now for a way to keep the persistence equal across configurators, as long as they follow some rules). I'm usually in #vdsm at freenode should you want to contact me.
