Hi ,


I have been using OVS recently and I noticed the following -



1)    1)   I did not insert the openvswitch kernel module

2)      2) Using “ovs-vsctl add-br br0” command , I tried to add a bridge –
which failed for obvious reasons. There is an error log that is displayed
on ovs-vsctl screen as well.

3)      3) However there are entries that are left in the ovs database –
“ovsdb-client dump”. I can see addition to the bridge , port , interface
and openvswitch tables – all entries pertaining to the bridge “br0”.

Ideally an application has to delete the bridge “br0” from the DB after
hitting an error like this.



I see that the ovs-vsctl can detect these errors through checks for the
field in the interface table entry "ofport”.



The question is how can a remote management interface for any proprietary
schemas get to know about application processing failures .



Thanks and regards,
Rishi Raj Maulick
