1 OVSDB OpenStack Installation Guide
2 ==================================
7 This guide is geared towards installing OpenDaylight to use the OVSDB project to provide Neutron support for OpenStack.
9 Open vSwitch (OVS) is generally accepted as the unofficial standard for Virtual Switching in the Open hypervisor based solutions.
10 For information on OVS, see `Open vSwitch <http://openvswitch.org/>`_.
12 With OpenStack within the SDN context, controllers and applications interact using two channels: OpenFlow and OVSDB. OpenFlow addresses the forwarding-side of the OVS functionality. OVSDB, on the other hand, addresses the management-plane.
13 A simple and concise overview of Open Virtual Switch Database (OVSDB) is available at: http://networkstatic.net/getting-started-ovsdb/

47 To verify that the installation was successful, use the following command in karaf and check that there are no errors
48 logs relating to odl-ovsdb-openstack::
55 There is no easy way to troubleshoot an installation of odl-ovsdb-openstack. Perhaps a combination of
56 log:display | grep -i ovsdb in karaf, Open vSwitch commands (ovs-vsctl) and OpenStack logs will be useful but will not
