Previously, the xsconsole plugin configured a single OpenFlow controller
configuration across all bridges. With the management channel, we can
now have the manager configure the bridges' controllers individually.
This changes the plugin to only set that management IP.
/usr is the standard location for installation, so use that instead of our
nonstandard location under /root.
This migrates everything except the kernel modules to /usr. The kernel
modules will be migrated in an upcoming commit.
One possibly surprising change is that the manpages listed in the %files
section of vswitch-xen.spec not only moved but added .gz extensions. This
seems to be because RPM automatically compresses manpages, but only if they
are installed in a standard system location.
The xsconsole plugin shows status information about Open vSwitch. The
version information was retrieved from XAPI, but this could cause
problems. The most easily reproduced is to make a XenServer part of a
pool, then remove it. The version string is no longer in the
XenServer's local XAPI view, so it reports "<unknown>". A more direct
way to get the information is to directly query the binary, which is
what this commit does.
Bug #1626
When a switch is using in-band control, the controller must be specified
in dotted quad format, since DNS names cannot be resolved until a
connection to the controller has been established. This commit
validates the user input in the xsconsole plugin.
When a slave cannot connect to the master, the vSwitch xsconsole plugin
complained with some Python style errors on the main display. This
commit cleans up that behavior.
