Just to inform that on CentOS 6.3 the 1.7.1 sources successfully build the RPM packages with kernel 2.6.32-279.2.1 and the same steps as detailed for 1.6.1 in thread http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/discuss/2012-July/007760.html ( with the same patch as in http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2012-July/018906.html )
Updated the 1.6.1 packages and rebooted and seems to work. Further tests next days Below the output of some commands, showing also the kind of my config. On the server I have some KVM virtual machines on both vlan65 and 66, that seems correctly connected to the VLANs. Some questions: 1) Is there any reason for the patch not going mainstream yet? Or is it to be considered only as a sort of workaround for centos6/rhel6? Any incompatibility with other distros/kernels? Any particular arguments I can send to create RHEL bugzilla in case you think it is a problem related to rhel6 kernel and not openvswitch, so that it becomes possible to build directly the sources? 2) Why my bridges are shown as speed: 100 Mbps now, 100 Mbps max while the adapters composing them are 1Gbps? A config I have to put in any file?
