Hi Scott,
I followed your blog mentioned in the url. I tried the following steps:
Create a br0.xml file:
<network>
<name>br0</name>
<forward mode='bridge'/>
<bridge name='br0'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
</network>
$sudo virsh net-define br0.xml
Network br0 defined from br0.xml
$sudo virsh net-start br0
Network br0 started
$sudo virsh net-list --all
Name State Autostart Persistent
----------------------------------------------------------
br0 active no yes
$sudo qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/VM2.img 8G
Formatting '/var/lib/libvirt/images/VM2.img', fmt=qcow2 size=8589934592
encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off
$sudo virt-install --connect qemu:///system --force --name VM2 --ram=1024
--vcpus=1 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/VM2.img,size=8,format=qcow2
--cdrom=/home/ramanar/Downloads/ubuntu-14.04.3-server-amd64.iso --vnc
--os-variant=ubuntutrusty --network=bridge:br0,model=virtio
Starting install...
ERROR Unable to add bridge br0 port vnet0: Operation not supported
Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
virsh --connect qemu:///system start VM2
$sudo ovs-vsctl show
92d0c0b6-bbbb-4f86-aebd-ec4cc33653a3
Bridge "br0"
Port "br0"
Interface "br0"
type: internal
Port "eth0"
Interface "eth0"
Any idea why this approach is not working.
Some how the second method is working fine. I created a VM using NAT, and
then modified VM XML file as per instructions mentioned below:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:71:b1:b6'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
</interface>
This is working now. I tried this one previously, and not working. May be
it messed up with some thing!!
Thanks for all your inputs. I thought that I can go with my old setup
(ubuntu 12.04 with brcompat module with ovs 1.9.3: it was working well).
