apt-get install dkms linux-headers-`uname -r`

Configuring and Running VRS or VRS-G

The HP startup script that is provided takes care of starting all the components as well as the basic configuration of VRS. This is mainly the creation of a bridge into VRS and the assignment of an OpenFlow controller to that bridge. The configuration is loaded upon startup of the openvswitch script according to a configuration file.

1.Edit the configuration file at /etc/default/openvswitch by specifying the IP addresses of the active and standby VSC:

ACTIVE_CONTROLLER=1.2.3.4

STANDBY_CONTROLLER=1.2.4.5

2.Restart the VRS or VRS-G.

3.Verify VRS connected to VSC successfully:

ovs-vsctl show

To customize, use scripts that you run after bootup.

Note: Customization scripts must be rerun after every reboot. Because of the new ISO image, changes are not persistent across reboots.
