The ovs was configured by my colleague, I am trying to help with the mess-up. Took a deep dive, found two obsdb-server binary as you can see below:
# ls -al /usr/sbin/ovsdb-server -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16172416 Apr 18 18:59 /usr/sbin/ovsdb-server gnr-sp-03:~ # ls -al /usr/local/sbin/ovsdb-server -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20026112 Apr 24 11:06 /usr/local/sbin/ovsdb-server Mysterious to me where does /usr/sbin/ovsdb-server come from? None of them can be sourced to a rpm package, and both reports the same version number. I searched openvswitch keyword in /var/log/zypper.log and /var/log/zypp/history. Any insight what could be the reason? Appreciate it. gnr-sp-03:~ # rpm -qif /usr/sbin/ovsdb-server file /usr/sbin/ovsdb-server is not owned by any package gnr-sp-03:~ # rpm -qif /usr/local/sbin/ovsdb-server file /usr/local/sbin/ovsdb-server is not owned by any package # /usr/sbin/ovsdb-server --version ovsdb-server (Open vSwitch) 3.3.0 gnr-sp-03:~ # /usr/local/sbin/ovsdb-server --version ovsdb-server (Open vSwitch) 3.3.0 -----Original Message----- From: Ilya Maximets <i.maxim...@ovn.org> Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2024 6:28 PM To: Wang, Fei2 <fei2.w...@intel.com>; b...@openvswitch.org Cc: i.maxim...@ovn.org Subject: Re: [ovs-discuss] ovsdb-server fails to start and report one unreferenced file path doesn't exist On 4/24/24 12:12, Ilya Maximets wrote: > On 4/24/24 05:32, Wang, Fei2 via discuss wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> >> >> We are hitting below error when trying to start ovsdb-server 3.3.0 on SLES15 >> SP5, I don’t tend to believe this issue is related to OS but not sure, we >> poked around and found similar issue >> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1785586 >> <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1785586>, since we are using >> OVS built from source code with dpdk enabled so cannot reference to it >> directly, any idea how to narrow down this issue further?
