Re: OVN communications between hosts

Hi Pavel, Can you explain how did you find the issue. I'm new in OVN and I experience the same symptoms . I'm not sure what will be the best approach to start cleanly with OVN. Best Regards, Strahil NikolovOn Dec 10, 2019 19:06, Pavel Nakonechnyi <pavel@gremwell.com> wrote:
Hi Pavel Nakonechnyi,
However, if such VMs are on different hosts, then no packets are received on both VMs.
Could you please suggest me a way to properly debug and fix this problem? I would like to be able to distribute several VMs connected to the single virtual network across hosts.
It appears that the problem was (as usual) with my setup which is a bit messy as it was based on experimental environment. The issues was triggered by changing the IP address of one of the hosts. I actually just added an alias to ovrtmgmnt interface and then changed the IP via oVirt engine...
Anyway, command `ovs-vsctl list Interface` showed that one of the switch peers was still referenced by the old, unused IP address. The easiest way to fix it for me was to re-add the host to cluster. After that cross-host communication between VMs started to work properly.

I am new to OVN / OpenVSwitch too. :) What helped me to begin with is capturing traffic on "ovirtmgmnt" interface using tcpdump and looking into it for packets related to data exchange between VMs over virtual network. I found communications over UDP:6081, which were fine by themselves. However, this helped to craft more targeted search requests which lead me to this discussion: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/PVJJPK7MQOFLXJE... Some suggestions there were helpful to at least become slightly more familiar with how the things work. Anyway, lack of documentation on this matter (I know that there are high-level old docs) does not help to resolve such cases.
