Installation

1. Remove stock openvswitch

Note: rpm -qa grep openvswitch

All rpms must be removed: 'yum remove' is recommended.

2.Have ready the hp xen dVRS, which consists of the following rpms:

hp-openvswitch-<version>

hp-openvswitch-modules-xen-2.6.32.43-0.4.1.xs1.8.0.835.170778-<version>

b.rpm -i HP-openvswitch-<version>

Note: If hp-openvswitch-<version> installation is tried before hp-openvswitch- modules-xen-2.6.32.43-0.4.1.xs1.8.0.835.170778-<version>, failure will

ensue, with the following error:

error: Failed dependencies:

openvswitch_mod.ko.0 is needed by HP-openvswitch-2.0 51.i386

Verification

1. Ensure that all packages have been installed:

[root@ovs-2 images]# rpm -qa grep openvswitch hp-openvswitch-modules-xen-2.6.32.43-0.4.1.xs1.8.0.835.170778- 2.0-51

hp-openvswitch-2.0-51

2.Ensure that /etc/sysconfig/openvswitch has correct PERSONALITY and PLATFORM:

[root@ovs-2 images]# cat /etc/sysconfig/openvswitch grep

PERSONALITY

#PERSONALITY: vrs/vrs-g/cpe/none (default: vrs) PERSONALITY=vrs

[root@ovs-2 images]# cat /etc/sysconfig/openvswitch grep PLATFORM

#PLATFORM: kvm/xen/esx-i. Only apply when in VRS personality PLATFORM=xen

3.Verify HPManagedNetwork is created:

[root@acs-ovs-3 ~]# xe network-list name-label=hpManagedNetwork

uuid ( RO): 817ece89-4835-980c-a48f-0bf02bc4241a name-label ( RW): hpManagedNetwork
