Following these steps http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-network/admin/content/install_quantum_agent_ovs.html (http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/opens...) and hitting the below error. Appreciate suggestions:

Do I need to do any additional steps before ova-vsctl ? This link seems to have bunch of other other steps such as ovsdb etc., ( http://cloudage.admin-magazine.com/Articles/Virtual-switching-with-Open-vSwitch (http://cloudage.admin-magazine.com/Ar...) ).

Appreciate any pointers.

It seems openvswitch isn't running Can you try running: /etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch restart

If you use the ubuntu package it should handle all of those steps for you.

Hi Aaron,

If you use the ubuntu package it should handle all of those steps for you.

Apologize. Iam aware on how to do that . Can you pls give me the pointer to ubuntu package/instructions (for folsom).

Is this the one ?

Step 1: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/apt/content/assumptions.html (http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/opens...) On Ubuntu, enable the Cloud Archive repository by adding the following to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/folsom.list: deb http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu (http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical...) precise-updates/folsom main Ensure the operating system is up-to-date by running apt-get update and apt-get upgrade prior to the installation.

Step 2: Then follow steps from here: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-network/admin/content/install_ubuntu.html (http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/opens...)

Thanks.

Thanks much Aaron. It worked.

Repeated the steps few times. Worked after doing this "apt-get autoremove openvswitch-datapath-dkms" and then repeating this step: kernel_version=cat /proc/version | cut -d " " -f3 apt-get install make fakeroot dkms openvswitch-switch openvswitch-datapath-dkms linux-headers-$kernel_version
