Installation Requirements
-------------------------
=======
Before starting ovs-vswitchd itself, you need to start its
-configuration database, ovsdb-server. Configure it to use the
-database you created during step 7 of installation, above, and to
-listen on a Unix domain socket, e.g.:
+configuration database, ovsdb-server. Each machine on which Open
+vSwitch is installed should run its own copy of ovsdb-server.
+Configure it to use the database you created during step 7 of
+installation, above, and to listen on a Unix domain socket, e.g.:
% ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
-Then initialize the database with "ovs-vsctl init". This is only
+Then initialize the database using ovs-vsctl. This is only
necessary the first time after you create the database with
ovsdb-tool (but running it at any time is harmless):
- % ovs-vsctl init
+ % ovs-vsctl --no-wait init
Then start the main Open vSwitch daemon, telling it to connect to the
same Unix domain socket:
