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

valid column name","error":"syntax
error","syntax":"[\"error\",\"name\",\"options\",\"type\"]"}": syntax
error:
<table-updates> includes unknown table "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"}
This *is* a strange error. There are indeed some small
incompatibilities between versions, but they do not normally cause
such
problems. Do I understand correctly that you're using a schema from
2.3.0 on the server and ovs-vsctl from tip of master as the client?
If
so, then I'll investigate; really there should be no significant
difference between these two versions.
I'd rather fix the problem than document it.
Yes.
Server = OVS 2.3.0
Client = OSX from tip
+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.
OK, I understand your use case now, but that that is the intended use
case is not obvious to me from the documentation. Would you mind
adding
some text to describe that?
Of course. I'll make this more clear in v2.
