Hello all,
We recently tried to install OpenvSwitch 2.3.1 on Citrix Xen Server
6.5.
We followed the instructions in INSTALL.XenServer, and the reproduced steps
are as follows. The main problem is that the directory /lib/modules/xen/build is
missing. Please suggest the method to address this issue. Thanks a lot.
[Reproduced steps]
1. According to INSTALL.XenServer from the OVS tarball, put the tarball package to the
"/usr/src/redhat/SOURCE/" folder and extract it;
2. Enter the "openvswitch-2.3.1/xenserver/" folder;
3. Add the kernel version in line 70 of the file "openvswitch.spec";
4. Build the RPM package:
> rpmbuild -bb openvswitch.spec
[Result]
The Building process failed. The error messags is the following:
configure: error: source dir /lib/modules/xen/build doesn't exist
It appeared that the program could not found the folder (please refer to the
attached log for the entire building process).
[Environment]
Server : Dell Poweredge R730 13G
Hypervisor: Citrix Xen Server 6.5
Guest VM : DDK VM for Xen server 6.5
By the way, if we start to everything from the tarball instead of using
rpmbuild. After (1)./configure, (2) make, and (3) make install,
plus
(4) make modules_install,
(5) copy necessary script files which aren't copied during the installation, and
(6) create a soft link form "/lib/modules/3.10.0+2/kernel/net/openvswitch/openvswitch.ko"
to "/lib/modules/3.10.0+2/extra/openvswitch.ko",
we restart the openvswitch service by "service openvswitch restart". However,
when the service enables remote OVSDB manager,
importing the ovs.dirs module from ovs-xapi-sync fails because this module is
missing. Therefore, the building process also fails if
we build without rpmbuild. Any advice is appreciated.
