Hi,
I wanted to have a switch connected to a clustered controller. I used mininet
2.2.1 and ovs 2.3.2 and 2.5.0 and opendayligh as a controller.
What I want to complain about is that "role" of the controller is not as I
expected and I thionk it is a bug.
Commands sequence
--------------------------------
sudo mn --topo linear,1 --switch ovsk,protocols=OpenFlow13 -this is to
create a bridge
ovs-vsctl set-controller s1 tcp:10.25.2.12:6654 tcp:10.25.2.13:6654
tcp:10.25.2.14:6654 -this is just to set controllers, because I want
them to be connect to cthe controller in certain order, so I use invalid port
then I use commands like
ovs-vsctl set Controller 6f5ce39e-06df-459e-be53-1c6feb2e5f23
target="tcp\:10.25.2.13\:6653"
to connect to all 3 nodes of the controller in owder I want
Db information - got by ovs-ctl list Controller
-------------------------
1) after set-controller command; I removed empty values
_uuid : 95ee77de-294f-47bc-990d-a947bcb50b76
...
is_connected : false
...
role : []
status : {}
target : "tcp:10.25.2.12:6654"
_uuid : e093e062-7c53-4c41-8465-53005c0c9d61
...
is_connected : false
...
role : []
status : {}
target : "tcp:10.25.2.13:6654"
_uuid : 6612ed5b-8640-4d0d-9e8d-ee860f839220
connection_mode : []
...
is_connected : false
...
role : []
status : {}
target : "tcp:10.25.2.14:6654"
2) the I connected one controller (10.25.2.12), we see that it's role is
"master"; wireshark pca show that controller sent relo request for master to
10.25.2.12
_uuid : 95ee77de-294f-47bc-990d-a947bcb50b76
...
is_connected : true
...
role : master
status : {sec_since_connect="5", state=ACTIVE}
target : "tcp:10.25.2.12:6653"
uuid : e093e062-7c53-4c41-8465-53005c0c9d61
...
is_connected : false
...
role : other
status : {last_error="Permission denied", state=BACKOFF}
target : "tcp:10.25.2.13:6654"
_uuid : 6612ed5b-8640-4d0d-9e8d-ee860f839220
...
is_connected : false
...
role : other
status : {last_error="Permission denied", state=BACKOFF}
target : "tcp:10.25.2.14:6654"
3) then I enabled other 2 controllers , wireshark pcap shows that controller
sent role requests for slave for 10.25.2.13 and 14; but ovsdb shows that master
is 10.25.2.13 and is connectedfew seconds more that 10.25.2.14 even if both
were "enabled" in the same time.
_uuid : 95ee77de-294f-47bc-990d-a947bcb50b76
...
is_connected : true
...
role : slave
status : {sec_since_connect="6", state=ACTIVE}
target : "tcp:10.25.2.12:6653"
_uuid : e093e062-7c53-4c41-8465-53005c0c9d61
...
is_connected : true
...
role : master
status : {sec_since_connect="15", state=ACTIVE}
target : "tcp:10.25.2.13:6653"
_uuid : 6612ed5b-8640-4d0d-9e8d-ee860f839220
...
is_connected : true
...
role : slave
status : {sec_since_connect="5", state=ACTIVE}
target : "tcp:10.25.2.14:6653"
I would expect controller 10.25.2.12 to be master and connected 15 sec ; and
10.25.2.13 and 10.25.2.14 connected 5-6 sec and be slaves.
Is something wrong with my approach or is it a bug in openvswitch?
Is role parameter reliable?
It does not happen always, may be in 50% of cases.

Peter Gubka
