OVN-SIM(1) Open Virtual Network (OVN) OVN-SIM(1)
ovn-sim - Open Virtual Network simulator environment
ovn-sim [option]… [script]…
ovn-sim is a wrapper script that adds ovn related commands on top of ovs-sim. ovs-sim provides a convenient environment for running one or more Open vSwitch instances and related software in a sandboxed simulation environment. To use ovn-sim, first build Open vSwitch, then invoke it directly from the build directory, e.g.: git clone https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs.git cd ovs ./boot.sh && ./configure && make cd .. git clone https://github.com/ovn-org/ovn.git cd ovn ./boot.sh && ./configure --with-ovs-source=${PWD}/../ovs make utilities/ovn-sim See documentation on ovs-sim for info on simulator, including the parameters you can use. OVN Commands These commands interact with OVN, the Open Virtual Network. ovn_start [options] Creates and initializes the central OVN databases (both ovn-sb(5) and ovn-nb(5)) and starts an instance of ovsdb-server for each one. Also starts an instance of ovn-northd. The following options are available: --nbdb-model model Uses the given database model for the northbound database. The model may be standalone (the default), backup, or clustered. --nbdb-servers n For a clustered northbound database, the number of servers in the cluster. The default is 3. --sbdb-model model Uses the given database model for the southbound database. The model may be standalone (the default), backup, or clustered. --sbdb-servers n For a clustered southbound database, the number of servers in the cluster. The default is 3. ovn_attach network bridge ip [masklen] First, this command attaches bridge to interconnection network network, just like net_attach network bridge. Second, it configures (simulated) IP address ip (with network mask length masklen, which defaults to 24) on bridge. Finally, it configures the Open vSwitch database to work with OVN and starts ovn-controller.
Simulating hypervisors, starting ovn controller (via ovn_attach) and adding a logical port on each one of them: ovn_start ovn-nbctl ls-add lsw0 net_add n1 for i in 0 1; do sim_add hv$i as hv$i ovs-vsctl add-br br-phys ovn_attach n1 br-phys 192.168.0.`expr $i + 1` ovs-vsctl add-port br-int vif$i -- \ set Interface vif$i external-ids:iface-id=lp$i ovn-nbctl lsp-add lsw0 lp$i ovn-nbctl lsp-set-addresses lp$i f0:00:00:00:00:0$i done Here’s a primitive OVN “scale test” (adjust the scale by changing n in the first line): n=200; export n ovn_start --sbdb-model=clustered net_add n1 ovn-nbctl ls-add br0 for i in `seq $n`; do (sim_add hv$i as hv$i ovs-vsctl add-br br-phys y=$(expr $i / 256) x=$(expr $i % 256) ovn_attach n1 br-phys 192.168.$y.$x ovs-vsctl add-port br-int vif$i -- \ set Interface vif$i external-ids:iface-id=lp$i) & case $i in *50|*00) echo $i; wait ;; esac done wait for i in `seq $n`; do yy=$(printf %02x $(expr $i / 256)) xx=$(printf %02x $(expr $i % 256)) ovn-nbctl lsp-add br0 lp$i ovn-nbctl lsp-set-addresses lp$i f0:00:00:00:$yy:$xx done When the scale test has finished initializing, you can watch the logical ports come up with a command like this: watch 'for i in `seq $n`; do \ if test `ovn-nbctl lsp-get-up lp$i` != up; then echo $i; fi; done'
