X-Git-Tag: v1.1.0pre1~125 X-Git-Url: http://git.onelab.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8084a2800f82c6d0ec438cb8f2de24518af2c712;p=sliver-openvswitch.git INSTALL.Linux: Improve suggested ovsdb-server invocation. ovsdb-server should ordinarily connect to managers specified in the database itself, as well as use the SSL configuration specified in the database, but the suggested ovsdb-server command line didn't do that. This commit adds all the relevant arguments that the XenServer integration passes by default.

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 +installation, above, to listen on a Unix domain socket, to connect to +any managers specified in the database itself, and to use the SSL +configuration in the database: + + % ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db \ + --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock \ + --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,managers \ + --private-key=db:SSL,private_key \ + --certificate=db:SSL,certificate \ + --bootstrap-ca-cert=db:SSL,ca_cert Then initialize the database using ovs-vsctl.
