Building Open vSwitch for XenServer
-----------------------------------
cd /tmp
tar xfz /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/openvswitch-$VERSION.tar.gz
rpmbuild \
- -D "vswitch_version $VERSION" \
+ -D "openvswitch_version $VERSION" \
-D "xen_version $XENKERNEL" \
- -bb openvswitch-$VERSION/xenserver/vswitch-xen.spec
+ -bb openvswitch-$VERSION/xenserver/openvswitch-xen.spec
where:
It always ends in "xen".
Two RPMs will be output into /usr/src/redhat/RPMS, whose names begin
-with "vswitch" and "vswitch-debuginfo".
+with "openvswitch" and "openvswitch-debuginfo".
Installing Open vSwitch for XenServer
-------------------------------------
To install Open vSwitch on a XenServer host, or to upgrade to a newer
-version, copy the "vswitch" RPM to that host with "scp", then install
+version, copy the "openvswitch" RPM to that host with "scp", then install
it with "rpm -U", e.g.:
- scp vswitch-$VERSION-1.i386.rpm root@<host>:
+ scp openvswitch-$VERSION-1.i386.rpm root@<host>:
(At this point you will have to enter <host>'s root password.)
ssh root@<host>
(At this point you will have to enter <host>'s root password again.)
- rpm -U vswitch-$VERSION-1.i386.rpm
+ rpm -U openvswitch-$VERSION-1.i386.rpm
To uninstall Open vSwitch from a XenServer host, remove the package:
ssh root@<host>
(At this point you will have to enter <host>'s root password again.)
- rpm -e vswitch
+ rpm -e openvswitch
After installing or uninstalling Open vSwitch, the XenServer should be
rebooted as soon as possible.
