Yes, brcompat is now no longer required, and we recommend that if you're
using kvm/libvirt you shouldn't enable the brcompat module

Exactly, that's the root cause, the in_port is not being found correctly. I
propose you do this to figure things out:

1) (in the worker node i.e. 'loki')
disable /var/lib/one/remotes/vnm/ovswitch/post by adding exit 0 at line 2
of that script
2) launch the virtual machine, it should get to running
3) do virsh dumpxml one-<vmid>
4) this bit of code should be able to extract the tap interface from the
previous output:
https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/vnm_mad/remotes/OpenNebulaNic.rb#L59
(get_tap
for the NicKVM class)
can you try so manually extracting that bit of code and providing the info
it needs see if it's working correctly?
Otherwise, you can figure it out manually, we're looking for something like
vnetX (let's call that <vnet>)
5) finally, do
$ sudo ovs_ofctl dump-ports ovsbr0 <vnet>

We recommend doing it like this:
oneadmin    ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/ovs-ofctl

cheers,
Jaime
