Why?
This could be a bug - I'm not sure. I have OVS 2.3.0 running on a test
Linux system.
When I tried to talk to it using a freshly compiled OSX binary I got the
following error:
2015-01-24T13:57:19Z|00001|ovsdb_idl|WARN|syntax "{"details":"error is
not a valid column name","error":"syntax
error","syntax":"[\"error\",\"name\",\"options\",\"type\"]"}": syntax

ovs-vsctl: transaction error: {"details":"transaction causes
\"Open_vSwitch\" table to contain 2 rows, greater than the
schema-defined limit of 1 row(s)","error":"constraint violation"}
+Assuming you have an Open vSwitch instance listening on `ptcp:6640`,
you can interact with it as follows:
+
+ ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:192.168.59.103:6640 show
+ ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:192.168.59.103:6640 add-br br0
+ ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:192.168.59.103:6640 set-manager br0 ptcp:6653
It's unusual to have to specify --db, can't the defaults be set up to
work properly?
My use case was primarily talking to remote systems from my mac rather
than running OVS locally...
The port is not complete in that respect. Although I'd love to work on
this in the future.
