Controller on VM and OVS on host machine

I am running the controller on a VM which needs to control the OVS running on the host machine. How can I do this ? Any help on this?

Hello,

did you try to configure the controller on the OVS?

ovs-vsctl set-controller tcp:<HP_VAN_SDN_CONTROLLER_IP>:6633

This should make the virtual switch visible on the controller.

However if going to connect hosts to the OVS it is advisable to use it on a different VM running on same host rather than running it on the host device.

Hope this helps,
