XenServer README

This directory contains files for seamless integration of Open vSwitch on Citrix XenServer hosts managed by the Citrix management tools.

Files in this directory are licensed on a file-by-file basis. Refer to each file for details.

Most of the files in this directory are installed on a XenServer system under the same name; underscores are replaced by slashes. The files are:

etc_init.d_openvswitch
Initializes Open vSwitch at boot and shuts it down at shutdown.
etc_init.d_openvswitch-xapi-update
Init script to ensure openvswitch-cfg-update is called for the current host at boot.
etc_logrotate.d_openvswitch
Ensures that logs in /var/log/openvswitch are rotated periodically and that appropriate daemons reopen their log files at that point.
etc_profile.d_openvswitch.sh
Open vSwitch-related shell functions for the administrator's convenience.
etc_xapi.d_plugins_openvswitch-cfg-update
xapi plugin script to update the cache of configuration items in the ovs-vswitchd configuration that are managed in the xapi database when integrated with Citrix management tools.
etc_xensource_scripts_vif
Open vSwitch-aware replacement for Citrix script of the same name.
openvswitch-xen.spec
spec file for building RPMs to install on a XenServer host.
opt_xensource_libexec_interface-reconfigure
Open vSwitch-aware replacements for Citrix script of the same names.
opt_xensource_libexec_InterfaceReconfigureBridge.py
See above.
opt_xensource_libexec_InterfaceReconfigure.py
See above.
opt_xensource_libexec_InterfaceReconfigureVswitch.py
See above.
usr_lib_xsconsole_plugins-base_XSFeatureVSwitch.py
xsconsole plugin to configure the pool-wide configuration keys used to control Open vSwitch when integrated with Citrix management tools.
usr_share_openvswitch_scripts_ovs-xapi-sync
Daemon to monitor the external_ids columns of the Bridge and Interface OVSDB tables for changes that require interrogating XAPI.
usr_share_openvswitch_scripts_sysconfig.template
Template for Open vSwitch's /etc/sysconfig/openvswitch configuration file.

Open vSwitch installs a number of xen-bugtool extensions in /etc/xensource/bugtool to gather additional information useful for debugging. The sources for the extensions are in ../utilities/bugtool/plugins:

kernel-info/openvswitch.xml
Collect kernel information relevant to Open vSwitch, such as slabinfo.
network-status/openvswitch.xml

Collect networking information relevant to Open vSwitch. Runs the following scripts, which are described below:

  • ovs-bugtool-bfd-show
  • ovs-bugtool-cfm-show
  • ovs-bugtool-fdb-show
  • ovs-bugtool-lacp-show
  • ovs-bugtool-list-dbs
  • ovs-bugtool-ovsdb-dump
  • ovs-bugtool-tc-class-show
  • ovs-bugtool-bond-show
  • ovs-bugtool-ovs-ofctl-show
  • ovs-bugtool-ovs-ofctl-dump-flows
  • ovs-bugtool-ovs-appctl-dpif
  • ovs-bugtool-coverage-show
  • ovs-bugtool-memory-show
  • ovs-bugtool-vsctl-show
  • ovs-bugtool-conntrack-dump
system-configuration/openvswitch.xml

Collect system configuration information relevant to Open vSwitch, including timezone. Runs the following script which is described below:

  • ovs-bugtool-daemons-ver
system-configuration.xml
Collect system configuration data. This category is configured to collect up to 1Mb of data, take up to 60 seconds to collect data, run every time and is hidden from display in XenCenter.

A number of scripts are installed in /usr/share/openvswitch/scripts to assist Open vSwitch's xen-bugtool extensions. The sources for the scripts are located in ../utilities/bugtool:

ovs-bugtool-bfd-show
Script to dump detailed BFD information for all enabled interfaces.
ovs-bugtool-cfm-show
Script to dump detailed CFM information for all enabled interfaces.
ovs-bugtool-fdb-show
Script to collect a summary of learned MACs for each bridge.
ovs-bugtool-lacp-show
Script to dump detailed LACP information for all enabled ports.
ovs-bugtool-list-dbs
Script to list the databases controlled by ovsdb-server.
ovs-bugtool-ovsdb-dump
Script to dump contents of Open vSwitch configuration database in comma-separated value format.
ovs-bugtool-tc-class-show
Script to dump tc class configuration for all network interfaces.
ovs-bugtool-ovs-ofctl-show
Script to dump information about flow tables and ports of each bridge.
ovs-bugtool-ovs-ofctl-dump-flows
Script to dump openflow flows of each bridge.
ovs-bugtool-ovs-appctl-dpif
Script to collect a summary of configured datapaths and datapath flows.
ovs-bugtool-coverage-show
Script to count the number of times particular events occur during ovs-vswitchd's runtime.
ovs-bugtool-memory-show
Script to show some basic statistics about ovs-vswitchd's memory usage.
ovs-bugtool-vsctl-show
Script to show a brief overview of the database contents.
ovs-bugtool-conntrack-dump
Script to show all the connection entries in the tracker.
ovs-bugtool-daemons-ver
Script to dump version information for all Open vSwitch daemons.
