I had installed libvrt, KVM, QEMU and all the necessary packages using
apt-get. My KVM-QEMU hypervisor has been running well.
To add a VM with the port attached to OVS bridge I changed the XML
domain file as per the instructions on this page:
http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/howto/libvirt/
But the when I start the VM using the Virtual Machine Manager I get
the following error:
*Error starting domain: internal error: Unable to add port vnet0 to OVS
bridge br0*
libvirt is creating a tap device, then running ovs-vsctl to attempt to
attach it to the configured switch. To see what command is run, and what
error is output, add this to your /etc/libvirt/libvirt.d:
log_filters="1:util.command 1:util.netdevopenvswitch"
log_outputs="1:syslog:libvirtd.service"
and restart the libvirt service, then attempt to start your guest while
watching the system logs. You will see an ovs-vsctl command run by
virCommandRunAsync. That command and its output should give you a clue
to what is missing from the locally-built openvswitch vs the official
package installed with apt-get.

My output for ovs-vsctl show:
3c28f516-dd5c-43cf-bea1-7c068668d1f6
Bridge "br0"
Port "enp0s31f6"
Interface "enp0s31f6"
Port "br0"
Interface "br0"
type: internal
ovs_version: "2.11.90"
*However, when OVS is installed using apt-get rather than installing
from source or tarball, all these steps work very well.*

Please guide me why this error is occurring. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
as my host machine. Many users are facing this issue and they have
reported it on OVS and other mailing lists. But, none is able to give a
satisfactory solution.
