I have some experience with vSphere, but am looking to get up and running with KVM. I've been looking at using oVirt as a VCenter type manager but, being new to all things server/Linux/virtualisation, I'm a bit unclear on a couple of things:

I am using Proxmox VE 3.3 (which I like very much and have been using for a few years), but cannot seem to make open vSwitch work as per below.
I am having trouble getting Open vSwitch working. I want to use it since the final environment consists…
Is there an equivalent to TYPE="OVSPort" DEVICETYPE="ovs" OVS_BRIDGE=br-ex in Ubuntu 14.04?
The system is OpenStack Icehouse with 3 nodes (controller, network, compute1) each on a VirtualBox Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine. OpenSwitch is used to create…
I have started learning virtualization using KVM hypervisor and trying to set-up virtual cluster on the host machine.However from the tutorials on the internet states that the VM connected to OVS bridge port get the IP from the host network DHCP…
I'm trying to add a flow to a KVM machine using Open vSwitch 1.10.2 for it's networking, which double tag all traffic comming from one of the virtual machine's ports.
I'm using the following command to add the flow:
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 -O…
I'm using OpenStack and OVS. This is my case:
From a remote host, I ping VM with IP A.
Local gateway received the echo request, then send a packet with IP A and MAC address A' (based on a fixed IP-MAC map on gateway)
The virtual router on host…
For those who don’t know - Mininet is a tool that allows for the automated creation of multiple OVS switches, chroot linux ‘containers’ as hosts and links them all together to prototype OVS powered networks.
I’m trying to create a slightly out of…
Adding my eth0 interface to openvswitch bridge with:
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0
makes me unable to accesso to the internet both on the host and , obviously, on the guest.
How to solve this problem? My intention is to connect my virtual machines to…
In order to make my vm use the openvswitch interface I have to add the following lines to a vm xml config file:
I edit the file, anyway while the first line is corrctly saved, the second…
I've been considering moving my VMware-based dedicated server to Linux using KVM/QEMU. The only major hurdle remaining is networking. My current setup is:
NIC <---> Public vSwitch <---> Router (IPFire) <---> Private vSwitch <---> VMs
The host has…
Here is the setup: We have a hardware (server) that presents a service to the customer (or "outside world", if you so will). Internally, the services and functions are distributed over several virtual machines (of different roles). We use kvm for…
I have installed openvswitch on my PC with runs Ubuntu 12.04.I also have virtual box running on my PC with 3 virtual machines (Ubuntu 12.04) running on them. are named

I configured the bridge which are connected to guests to communicate with outside.
And In the guest, i configure gateway to indicate the bridge IP. (currently achieve this with DHCP)
eth0 <--> bridge <--> guest
It's surely works. But when i…
I am new to KVM and am having a problem with setting up the networking. I want each VM to get its IPs assigned by the network's DHCP, not the internal DHCP that the KVM keeps trying to set up. In Hyper-V, you can create a virtual switch, then create…
I´m analyzing OpenStack traffic flow between instances, to understand how the traffic goes from one place to another. I have a provider network with openvswitch configuration. My scenario is depicted in the photo, where I make a ping between two…
