[ovs-discuss] ovs-brcompatd on CentOS/RHEL 6.x

[Frido Roose]

Hello,

I'm currently trying openvswitch in a KVM environment on CentOS 6.2, and
I'm having a problem with the compatibility mode when running ovs-brcompatd.

# ovs-vsctl add-br vbr314
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
vbr314 /sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
/sys/class/net/vbr314/bridge: No such file or directory
0000.cade601c144d no

I've read somewhere on the net that the bridge tools in RHEL 6.x are too
recent.  Are there any workarounds, or is an update on this planned for a
coming release?
Btw, downgrading to 5.x is not an option for us.

Best regards,
Frido Roose
