Hey Tim,

Deploying an OVN-enabled cluster is not that trivial.

There are many caveats to make it run.

Is there any special use case you need to address to use OVS/OVN?

Subject: [External] : [ovirt-users] open v-switch woes

Hey community,

I'm trying to get open v-switch set up to work like it does in VMware.  I am running Rocky Linux 8.9 and oVirt 4.5.5 (el8)

I got the repos but online feedback recommends installing openvswitch, and ovn-northd, ovn-central and ovn-host

I got openvswitch installed, but the other three: ovn-northd, ovn-central and ovn-host seemt o be elusive even after adding the  CentOS-Advanced-Virtualization.repo and uipdating all "CentOS-" repost to point to "vault" instead of "mirrorlist"

Can someo0ne help me with what I'm missing?  I've tried Bing CoPilot and ChatGPT LOL  but they say add that repo and install those packages.

Thanks,

Tim
