Re: [libvirt] Unable to provision VM attaching it directly to a OVS bridge
Hi!
AFAIK, virt-install has no method of specifying the
<virtualport>
parameters for an interface. What you're asking for here is an interface
definition of:
Yes, up to version 0.10. there's not.
You need to change you virt-install commandline so that the
--network
argument is something like this:
--network network=databr0,model=virtio,mac=00:00:00:00:00:03
Great! It works! I used '--network=bridge:databr0....' because I was
using this reference:
http://www.siliconloons.com/?p=277
More precisely:
http://www.siliconloons.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screen-Shot-2012-0...
And there the author has used interface type 'bridge'. So I thought I
should use it too.
As long as the OVS service is running this should do what you want
(although you'll later probably want to add a "<virtualport
type='openvswitch'> element to the domain's <interface> element, so
that
libvirt generates/stores a permanent interface-id for the domain rather
than generating a new one each time the domain is started).
Maybe should be a good idea to add a support of defining "<virtualport
type='openvswitch'>" using
the API, shouldn't it ?

It certainly is supported to the level that you're trying to use it.
Libvirt can define networks that use existing ovs switches, and connect
guest interfaces either via the aforementioned networks, or directly
using type='bridge'.
Ok, Thanks!
