Re: quantum and openvswitch issue

 

Hi Jay,

The steps you have taken so far seem correct.  Have you spun up any VMs
yet?  The current output from the OVS agent implies you may not have.

Quantum networks are logical entities, so you won't see the result of
creating a network until you actually spin up a VM that uses that network.
 When a VM is spun up, there should be an interface created on br-int for
each vNIC, and those interfaces will be placed on the right network by
setting vlan config on the local port.

If you're still seeing problems, create a quantum bug and attach this info
plus the output of:  sudo ovs-vsctl list Port

You can also run the agent with the -v flag for more information.
