Hi Lance, thanks, I have currently deployed oVirt using the oVirt Node images, so indeed I would like to avoid updating; out of curiosity, is there actually a beta/pre-release version of the node avaiable? I have since reinstalled the host to perform further testing but I'll give it a shot as soon as soon as I find the time. Regards, Andrea On 17/11/2016 21:57, Lance Richardson wrote:

Hi all,
I've been messing around with the ovirt-ovn-provider [1] and I've run into some issues during the initial setup.
I have a 5-node cluster (running the hosted-engine VA), LEGACY virtual switch; this test was done on a single host. Following the instructions from the aforementioned blog post, I have downloaded the ovirt-provider-ovn and ovirt-provider-ovn-driver rpms, and built the rpm packages for:
- openvswitch (2.6.90) - openvswitch-ovn-common - openvswitch-ovn-host - openvswitch-ovn-central - python-openvswitch
I set up a dedicated VM for the OVN controller, installed ovs and ovn-central, started the ovn-northd and ovirt-provider-ovn services. So far so good. I then moved on to the oVirt host and installed the above packages (minus ovn-central) as well as the ovirt-provider-ovn-driver provided, started the ovn-controller service and ran
# vdsm-tool ovn-config <ovn controller IP> <host management IP>
Executing the suggested checks I noticed that something didn't quite go as planned. Below is the /var/log/openvswitch/ovn-controller.log from the host machine. There are no firewalls involved (not even on the servers) and I also tried disabling SELinux but to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Andrea

Here is the yum info output for the kernel package on the offending host:
Installed Packages Name : kernel Arch : x86_64 Version : 3.10.0 Release : 327.36.3.el7
Andrea
OK, the 327 kernel did not support conntrack and cannot be used for OVN.
RHEL 7.3 or newer is the minimum requirement for OVN.
Lance
Hi Andrea,
If you'd like to avoid upgrading to 7.3, one workaround would be to build and install the OVS kernel module RPM. The easiest way to build the OVS kernel RPM would be, from the ovs directory where you already executed "./boot.sh" and "./configure", to execute:
make rpm-fedora-kmod
(Don't be misled by the name, this also works for CentOS and RHEL).
The resulting RPM will be under the ./rpm/RPMS/ directory, something like:
./rpm/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/openvswitch-kmod-2.6.90-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
Regards,
Lance
