Pipeline Definition is not available ERROR

Tomas_Kubica — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 07:00:19 GMT

Converting working Java code with OF10 to OF13 - added instruction with action etc. but getting following exception:

Unable to send flow {ofm:[V_1_3,FLOW_MOD,112,1068],cmd=ADD,match={Match(V_1_3):[type=OXM,len=38],fields=IN_PORT,ETH_DST,ETH_SRC,ETH_TYPE},...} to 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:01 due to com.hp.of.lib.OpenflowException: Pipeline Definition is not available!

Tried to play with TableIds as well as went throw documentation on PipelineDefinition, PipelineFactory and has no clue why and how would I use that.

Could you help me pointing what might cause this error?

Thanks

Hi,

Below are possible issues which might cause problem.

1) If the switch has not provided a table features reply that is understood (looks for errors in parsing this message in log).

2) Trying to send a flow before controller has processed the table features reply message.
3) If switch does not support table feature request.

Also, please check if you see your datapath in UI?

Please let us know your outcome and your switch model which caused the problem.

Thanks,

The most likely cause for the pipeline definition being unavailable is #2 in the latest response from "sdnindia".

Was #1 - unstable version of Mininet (on OF 1.3) with malformed features reply. Thanks!

To resolve this problem in openflow 1.3 you need to go to the controller, open the configurations tab, open the controller manager and change the field supress.pipeline.definition for true
