Yes. ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) explains the schema, ovs-vsctl(8) explains how to manipulate it from the command line, and ovsdb/SPECS explains the OVSDB protocol. > I've got a problem with redundant entries in my ovsdb... Is there a > way to find out which entry is the right one? I think that a better question is how the duplicates got into the database. ovs-vsctl is designed to prevent this from happening. Is there any chance you could send us your /etc/openvswitch/conf.db? It is often possible to find problems simply by looking at the log that is part of the database. > NB: I've got a bit of a weird setup (Xen-Dom0 virtualized on KVM > machine - running linux-2.6.18.8-xen and openvswitch-1.1.0pre2), which > might be responsible for this issue... could it be that a mac address > change (which might happen upon reboot) triggers insertion of a 'new' > interface into the DB? ovs-vsctl should not allow it to happen, regardless. > P.S.: Another question would be whether use of the ovsdb is compulsory > in post-1.0.0 versions of openvswitch, or whether there's a way to > keep using the configuration file used for 0.9x-versions. There's no way to continue using the configuration file. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
