New scheme mainly provides three packages: openvswitch, openvswitch-ovn-north, openvswitch-ovn-controller. These should fit most usage scenarios. Other subpackages like openvswitch-libXXX etc. are there for dependency management and are hidden from the menu. Many python and shell scripts are removed in this revision. Most of them cannot run out of box at all for lack of dependencies. Others being legacy ones are not that useful now. Add them back at later time when real need appears Below are a simple listing of additions - initscript now incorporate also ovn north and controller support - ovn-ctl and ovs-ctl can be invoked directly from within $PATH Signed-off-by: Yousong Zhou <yszhou4tech@gmail.com>

# Which packages to install
|
|
|
|
Install `openvswitch` if you need OpenFlow virtual switch function. It
|
|
contains ovs-vswitchd, ovsdb-server and helper utilities such as ovs-vsctl,
|
|
ovs-ofctl, ovs-ctl etc.
|
|
|
|
Linux kernel datapath module openvswitch.ko will also be installed along with
|
|
package `openvswitch`. Tunnel encap support for gre, geneve, vxlan can be
|
|
included by installing `kmod-openvswitch-{gre,geneve,vxlan}` respectively
|
|
|
|
For OVN deployment
|
|
|
|
- Install `openvswitch-ovn-north` for ovs-northd, ovsdb-server, ovn helper utitlies
|
|
- Install `openvswitch-ovn-host` for ovn-controller and `openvswitch`
|
|
|
|
# How to use them
|
|
|
|
Open vSwitch provides a few very useful helper script in
|
|
`/usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/`. A simple initscript is provided. It's
|
|
mainly a wrapper around `ovs-ctl` and `ovn-ctl` with simple knobs from
|
|
`/etc/config/openvswitch`. Procd is not used here.
|
|
|
|
/etc/init.d/openvswitch start
|
|
/etc/init.d/openvswitch stop
|
|
/etc/init.d/openvswitch stop north
|
|
/etc/init.d/openvswitch restart ovs
|
|
/etc/init.d/openvswitch status
|
|
|
|
Use `ovs-ctl` and `ovn-ctl` directly for more functionalities
