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?

Re: Controller on VM and OVS on host machine

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,

 

Regards,
