This directory contains files for seamless integration of Open vSwitch on
2
Citrix XenServer hosts managed by the Citrix management tools.
4
Some of these files are modifications of Citrix's proprietary code.
5
Citrix has given permission to distribute these modified files.
6
Citrix has not specified a particular license for them. There is no
7
guarantee that, should Citrix specify a license, that it would be
8
DFSG-compliant or GPL-compatible.
10
Most of the files in this directory is installed on a XenServer system
11
under the same name, if underscores are replaced by slashes. The
14
etc_init.d_openvswitch
16
Initializes Open vSwitch at boot and shuts it down at shutdown.
18
etc_init.d_openvswitch-xapi-update
20
Init script to ensure openvswitch-cfg-update is called for the
23
etc_logrotate.d_openvswitch
25
Ensures that logs in /var/log/openvswitch are rotated
26
periodically and that appropriate daemons reopen their log
29
etc_profile.d_openvswitch.sh
31
Open vSwitch-related shell functions for the administrator's
34
etc_xapi.d_plugins_openvswitch-cfg-update
36
xapi plugin script to update the cache of configuration items
37
in the ovs-vswitchd configuration that are managed in the
38
xapi database when integrated with Citrix management tools.
40
etc_xensource_scripts_vif
42
Open vSwitch-aware replacement for Citrix script of the same name.
46
spec file for building RPMs to install on a XenServer host.
48
opt_xensource_libexec_interface-reconfigure
50
Open vSwitch-aware replacement for Citrix script of the same name.
52
usr_share_openvswitch_scripts_monitor-external-ids
54
Daemon to monitor the external_ids columns of the Bridge and
55
Interface OVSDB tables.
57
usr_share_openvswitch_scripts_refresh-xs-network-uuids
59
Script to refresh Bridge table external-ids:xs-network-uuids
60
values, which can get out-of-sync following a pool join.
62
usr_share_openvswitch_scripts_sysconfig.template
64
Template for Open vSwitch's /etc/sysconfig/openvswitch
67
usr_lib_xsconsole_plugins-base_XSFeatureVSwitch.py
69
xsconsole plugin to configure the pool-wide configuration keys
70
used to control Open vSwitch when integrated with Citrix
75
wrapper for /usr/sbin/brctl that provides some additional
80
Open vSwitch-aware replacement for Citrix script of the same name.
84
This is uuid.py from Python 2.5. It is installed into the
85
Open vSwitch RPM because XenServer 5.5 and 5.6 use Python 2.4,
86
which do not have uuid.py.
88
To install, build the Open vSwitch RPM with a command like this:
90
rpmbuild -D "openvswitch_version $full_version" \
91
-D "xen_version $XENKERNEL" \
92
-D "build_number --with-build-number=$buildnr" \
93
-bb openvswitch-xen.spec
95
Then, "rpm -U" the resulting Open vSwitch package on the XenServer hosts in
96
question and reboot them. (The openvswitch-dbg package that is also
97
produced need not be installed, but it is harmless to do so.)
