Re: OVN communications between hosts

Hi Pavel, Would you mind to share the list of ovn devices you have. Currently in UI, I don't have any network (except ovirtmgmt) and I see multiplee devices. My guess is that I should remove all but the br-int , but I would like not to kill my cluster communication :) Best Regards, Strahil NikolovOn Dec 11, 2019 10:25, Pavel Nakonechnyi <pavel@gremwell.com> wrote:

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.
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.

Well, it is a bit different... In UI you see network which are explicitly managed by oVirt and physical devices hosts have. Thus, you see ovritmgmt and potentially other physical interfaces as well as vNics you created yourself. OVN feature is provided by external provider "ovirt-provider-ovn". In case you created a network using this external provider, it will appear on "external logical networks" part of the "setup host networks" interface. From the hosts Linux command line you will see the corresponding virtual Open vSwitch interfaces using `ovs-vsctl show` command. It will show "br-int" bridge as well as several ports associated with virtual machines and geneve tunnels towards other hosts.
