Windows server 2019 with OVS and nova compute

Hello All,

My goal is to run hyper-v with OVS as a compute node the installers provided by Cloudbase helped a lot, but i faced a few problems as follows:

Setup:

  • Windows server 2019 standard

  • OVS 2.7 certified worked only: other builds had an issue with pnputil.exe -e the version of the driver version be old and and say 1.0 and OVS wouldn’t run yielding unable to load kernel module error

    I had another problem with continues disconnection to the OVS DB moving to windows server 2019 from 2016 kinda solved the issue

  • Openstack Train

My current problem is that Nova runs fine i can create an instance and would move to Running but the vif creation would fail and no network on the instance.

Any help is very much appreciated.

so i kinda solved this ! :D

the thing is for hyper-v you need special images to run on the hypervisor you download them from cloudbase for the db of ovs connection..rather than using unix sockets you can change ovs to allow connection to ip and port and change that in the nova and neutron agent configs to use that. currently i was able to run windows server 2012 from cloudbase but not linux i will try to install a .VHDX linux image.

Hi, i'm facing same problem you have. my logs file have same err logs as yours have. What do mean by " for the db of ovs connection..rather than using unix sockets you can change ovs to allow connection to ip and port and change that in the nova and neutron agent configs to use that" ?

Highly appreciate if you share the config files of nova-compute and ovs-agent as well
