Commit2bb451b69"xenserver: Rename network devices to match MAC addresses of physical PIFs" started renaming network devices so that they match the MAC address that we expect them to have. This worked OK at the time. Commit35c979bff"vswitchd: Support creating fake bond device interfaces" later started creating fake bond devices to make the Citrix QA scripts happier. Unfortunately these commits interact badly: the bond devices created by the latter commit are sometimes chosen as the physical devices to be renamed over the physical PIF device names. This is because we do allow datapath internal ports to be chosen as "physical devices" as a last resort. This commit reverses this decision, eliminating that possibility. This probably won't become a problem unless somehow we encounter a physical Ethernet card driver that lacks a queue, but that is unlikely since the performance would be awful.
This directory contains files for seamless integration of vswitch on
Citrix XenServer hosts managed by the Citrix management tools.
Some of these files are modifications of Citrix's proprietary code.
Citrix has given permission to distribute these modified files.
Citrix has not specified a particular license for them. There is no
guarantee that, should Citrix specify a license, that it would be
DFSG-compliant or GPL-compatible.
Most of the files in this directory is installed on a XenServer system
under the same name, if underscores are replaced by slashes. The
files are:
etc_init.d_vswitch
Initializes the vswitch at boot and shuts it down at shutdown.
etc_init.d_vswitch-xapi-update
Init script to ensure vswitch-cfg-update is called for the
current host at boot.
etc_logrotate.d_vswitch
Ensures that /var/log/ovs-vswitchd.log is rotated periodically
and that ovs-vswitchd reopens its log file at that point.
etc_profile.d_vswitch.sh
vswitch-related shell functions for the administrator's
convenience.
etc_sysconfig_vswitch.example
Example configuration options for vswitch.
etc_xapi.d_plugins_vswitch-cfg-update
xapi plugin script to update the cache of configuration items
in the ovs-vswitchd configuration file that are managed in the
xapi database when integrated with Citrix management tools.
etc_xensource_scripts_vif
vswitch-aware replacement for Citrix script of the same name.
opt_xensource_libexec_interface-reconfigure
vswitch-aware replacement for Citrix script of the same name.
root_vswitch_scripts_dump-vif-details
Script to retrieve extended information about VIFs that are
needed by the controller. This is called by the "vif" script,
which is run when virtual interfaces are added and removed.
usr_lib_xsconsole_plugins-base_XSFeatureVSwitch.py
xsconsole plugin to configure the pool-wide configuration keys
used to control vswitch when integrated with Citrix management
tools.
usr_sbin_xen-bugtool
vswitch-aware replacement for Citrix script of the same name.
vswitch-xen.spec
spec file for building RPMs to install on a XenServer host.
To install, build the vswitch RPM with a command like this:
rpmbuild -D "vswitch_version $full_version" \
-D "xen_version $XENKERNEL" \
-D "build_number --with-build-number=$buildnr" \
-bb vswitch-xen.spec
Then, "rpm -U" the resulting vswitch package on the XenServer hosts in
question and reboot them. (The vswitch-dbg package that is also
produced need not be installed, but it is harmless to do so.)
