[one-users] Hi, I have some questions about Open vSwitch management in Opennebula 3(feature 476).

[Jaime Melis]

Hello,

When we released OpenNebula 3.0, we finalized the network configuration
documentation, you can see how to activate the Open vSwitch integration
here:
http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.0:openvswitch
When you originally wrote this email this guide wasn't yet written (the
network drivers themselves were still under development). I hope it answers
your questions.

It addresse the 'brctl' by indicating that the Open vSwitch compatibility
layer for Linux bridging must be installed:
http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL.bridge;hb=HEAD

Cheers,
Jaime
