I used openvswitch with virt-intall

 

I defined a network

 

    <network>

      <name>private</name>

      <bridge name='virbr0'/>

              <forward mode='bridge'/>

      <virtualport type='openvswitch'/>

    </network>

 

But get no ip for the ovs port when I launch the instance. Is this correct?

 

    ci-info: +++++++++++++++++++++++++Net device info++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    ci-info: +--------+------+--------------+-------------+-------------------+

    ci-info: | Device |  Up  |   Address    |     Mask    |     Hw-Address    |

    ci-info: +--------+------+--------------+-------------+-------------------+

    ci-info: |   lo   | True |  127.0.0.1   |  255.0.0.0  |         .         |

    ci-info: |  eth1  | True |      .       |      .      | 52:54:00:24:16:29 |

    ci-info: |  eth0  | True | 172.16.5.136 | 255.255.0.0 | 52:54:00:44:01:28 |

 

 

In the bridge port vnet1 get assigned to virbr0

 

    Bridge "virbr0"

        Port "virbr0"

            Interface "virbr0"

                type: internal

        Port "vnet1"

            Interface "vnet1"

 

 

And i launch the instance the following way

 

     virt-install --name probe9 --ram 4096 --vcpus=4 --check-cpu --os-type=linux --import --disk /data/KVM/Probe2-cloud3.qcow2,format=qcow2 --network network=ext  --network network=private --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole --disk vol=default/configuration2.iso,bus=virtio
