Where ever you did a 'make install', do a 'make uninstall'. The end result should be that 'find /usr -name ovs-vswitchd' should only say /usr/sbin/ovs-vswitchd.
Then: ps -ef | grep ovs Kill both ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server processes using 'kill'. Then do '/etc/init.d/openvswitch start' On Tue, Oct 13, 2015 at 10:17 AM, Nishanth Devarajan <dev_ra...@yahoo.com> wrote: > No I don’t know what Im doing very well.
