Re: openvswitch rpm on RHEL 6.3 frustration

 

Hi Greg,

I can install openvswitch-1.7.3-1.x86_64.rpm on CentOS6.3 if specifying
with kmod-openkmod-openvswitch-1.7.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm:

# rpm -ivh openvswitch-1.7.3-1.x86_64.rpm kmod-openvswitch-1.7.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:kmod-openvswitch       ########################################### [ 50%]
   2:openvswitch            ########################################### [100%]
#


Thanks
Ken'ichi Ohmichi
