Introduce new members in the virMacAddr 'class'
- virMacAddrSet: set virMacAddr from a virMacAddr
- virMacAddrSetRaw: setting virMacAddr from raw 6 byte MAC address buffer
- virMacAddrGetRaw: writing virMacAddr into raw 6 byte MAC address buffer
- virMacAddrCmp: comparing two virMacAddr
- virMacAddrCmpRaw: comparing a virMacAddr with a raw 6 byte MAC address buffer
then replace raw MAC addresses by replacing
- 'unsigned char *' with virMacAddrPtr
- 'unsigned char ... [VIR_MAC_BUFLEN]' with virMacAddr
and introduce usage of above functions where necessary.
This patch will allow OpenFlow controllers to identify which interface
belongs to a particular VM by using the Domain UUID.
ovs-vsctl get Interface vnet0 external_ids
{attached-mac="52:54:00:8C:55:2C", iface-id="83ce45d6-3639-096e-ab3c-21f66a05f7fa", iface-status=active, vm-id="142a90a7-0acc-ab92-511c-586f12da8851"}
V2 changes:
Replaced vm-uuid with vm-id. There was a discussion in Open vSwitch
mailinglist that we should stick with the same DB key postfixes for the
sake of consistency (e.g iface-id, vm-id ...).
The indentation on the final lines of the function was off by four
spaces, making me wonder for a second if there was something
missing. (There wasn't.)
This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
profileid='test-profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
run the following command:
ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr
