How to Install Open vSwitch on Fedora Linux
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to build and install Open vSwitch on a Fedora
|
|
Linux host. If you want to install Open vSwitch on a generic Linux host,
|
|
see INSTALL.Linux instead.
|
|
|
|
We have tested these instructions with Fedora 16 and Fedora 17.
|
|
|
|
Building Open vSwitch for Fedora
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You may build from an Open vSwitch distribution tarball or from an
|
|
Open vSwitch Git tree.
|
|
|
|
Before you begin, note the RPM source directory on your version of
|
|
Fedora. On Fedora 17, it is $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES.
|
|
|
|
1. If you are building from an Open vSwitch Git tree, then you will
|
|
need to first create a distribution tarball by running "./boot.sh;
|
|
./configure; make dist" in the Git tree.
|
|
|
|
2. Copy the distribution tarball into the RPM source directory.
|
|
|
|
3. Unpack the distribution tarball into a temporary directory and "cd"
|
|
into the root of the distribution tarball.
|
|
|
|
4. To build Open vSwitch userspace, run:
|
|
|
|
rpmbuild -bb rhel/openvswitch-fedora.spec
|
|
|
|
This produces one RPM: "openvswitch".
|
|
|
|
5. On Fedora 17, to build the Open vSwitch kernel module, run:
|
|
|
|
rpmbuild -bb rhel/openvswitch-kmod-fedora.spec
|
|
|
|
You might have to specify a kernel version and/or variants, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
rpmbuild -bb \
|
|
-D "kversion 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64" \
|
|
-D "kflavors default debug kdump" \
|
|
rhel/openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec
|
|
|
|
This produces an "kmod-openvswitch" RPM for each kernel variant,
|
|
in this example: "kmod-openvswitch", "kmod-openvswitch-debug", and
|
|
"kmod-openvswitch-kdump".
