Dear Guys! The post was not complete...and hence not helping newbees like us to resolve similar issues. Kindly help! I have 2 KVM nodes using OpenvSwitch 1.10 on CentOS 6.x. The intention is to have a redundant KVM HA cluster hereafter, and allowing VMs to migrate easily between the KVM hosts. I have not bonded the physical interfaces on the CENTOS machines yet, and intent to do so through openvswitch using physical interfaces eth1 and eth2. Now, I need to create a main bridge (cloudbr) and associate it with a bond device bond0 (which is non-existant until now) and specify that eth1 and eth2 are its associated interfaces. Do I need to define any Ports or Interfaces for that? Again, how do I configure IP address? and where to assign it? I see that I can configure IP address using ifconfig on the main bridge (cloudbr) or the bond device (bond0) which I define in the ovs-vsctl command, or any ports that I create (example: mgmt0) and associate any interface to it (example: mgmt0). Then again, in none of these cases, it is not reachable or pingable...so I am missing something here. Hence, just as our friend asked on configuring bond interfaces in this blog, and assigning IPs to it.....it is still confusing to people like me! Can anyone extend your kind help here! thanks!! _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
