Commit Message

Flaviof Oct. 10, 2019, 10:45 a.m. UTC
Adding a wrapper to ovs-sim called ovn-sim, which re-introduces the
primitives for OVN in the simulator that were lost as part of
the ovn-org/ovn split.

Also resurrected the man page used to document ovn-sim usage.

Lastly, there were some leftover ovs-sim references that were
not proper. This patch renames these to ovn-sim.

All in all, this change is nothing but porting over the
OVN sections of ovs-sim from OVS version 2.12 (pre-split).

Bleep bloop.  Greetings Flavio Fernandes, I am a robot and I have tried out your patch.
Thanks for your contribution.

I encountered some error that I wasn't expecting.  See the details below.

You're not wrong, but you're not right :)

There is an issue with checkpatch.py since the regex on line 415 won't
match anything (in this case).  I guess the doc-only check didn't
accommodate this kind of use case.

Hi Flavio,
Thanks for the patch. I applied this to master.

> -Basic Commands
> ---------------
> -
> -These  are  the  basic commands for working with sandboxed Open vSwitch
> -instances.
> -
> -``sim_add`` *sandbox*
> -    Starts a new simulated Open vSwitch instance named *sandbox*.
> -    Files related to the instance, such as logs, databases, sockets,
> -    and pidfiles, are created in a subdirectory also named
> -    *sandbox*. Afterward, the ``as`` command (see below) can be used
> -    to run Open vSwitch utilities in the context of the new sandbox.
> -
> -    The new sandbox starts out without any bridges. Use ``ovs-vsctl``
> -    in the context of the new sandbox to create a bridge, e.g.::
> -
> -        sim_add hv0           # Create sandbox hv0.
> -        as hv0                # Set hv0 as default sandbox.
> -        ovs-vsctl add-br br0  # Add bridge br0 inside hv0.
> -
> -    The Open vSwitch instances that ``sim_add`` creates enable
> -    ``dummy`` devices.  This means that bridges and interfaces can be
> -    created with type ``dummy`` to indicate that they should be
> -    totally simulated, without any reference to system entities.  In
> -    fact, ``ovs-sim`` also configures Open vSwitch so that the default
> -    system type of bridges and interfaces are replaced by dummy
> -    devices.  Other types of devices, however, retain their usual
> -    functions, which means that, e.g., vxlan tunnels still act as
> -    tunnels (refer to the documentation).
> -
> -``as`` *sandbox*
> -    Sets sandbox as the default simulation target for Open vSwitch
> -    commands (e.g. ``ovs-vsctl``, ``ovs-ofctl``, ``ovs-appctl``).
> -
> -    This command updates the beginning of the shell prompt to indicate
> -    the new default target.
> -
> -``as`` *sandbox* *command* *arg*...
> -    Runs the given command with *sandbox* as the simulation target,
> -    e.g.  ``as hv0 ovs-vsctl add-br br0`` runs ``ovs-vsctl add-br
> -    br0`` within sandbox ``hv0``.  The default target is unchanged.
> -
> -Interconnection Network Commands
> ---------------------------------

> -When multiple sandboxed Open vSwitch instances exist, one will

> -``ovs-sim`` makes it easy to plug into other switches in other

+Synopsis
+========
+
+``ovn-sim`` [*option*]... [*script*]...
+
+Description
+===========
+
+``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.

+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``.
+
+Examples
+========
+
+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'

-Synopsis
-========
-
-``ovs-sim`` [*option*]... [*script*]...
-
-Description
-===========
-
-``ovs-sim`` provides a convenient environment for running one or more Open
-vSwitch instances and related software in a sandboxed simulation environment.
-
-To use ``ovs-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
-    ./configure
-    make
-    utilities/ovs-sim
-
-When invoked in the most ordinary way as shown above, ovs-sim does  the
-following:
-
-1. Creates a directory ``sandbox`` as a subdirectory of the current
-   directory (first destroying such a directory if it already exists)
-   and makes it the current directory.
-
-2. Installs all of the Open vSwitch manpages into a ``man``
-   subdirectory of sandbox and adjusts the ``MANPATH`` environment
-   variable so that ``man`` and other manpage viewers can find them.
-
-3. Creates a simulated Open vSwitch named ``main`` and sets it up as the
-   default target for OVS commands, as if the following ``ovs-sim``
-   commands had been run::
-
-            sim_add main
-            as main
-
-  See `Commands`_, below, for an explanation.
-
-4. Runs  any  scripts  specified on the command line (see `Options`_,
-   below). The scripts can use arbitrary Bash  syntax,  plus  the
-   additional commands described under `Commands`_, below.
-
-5. If no scripts were specified, or if ``-i`` or ``--interactive`` was
-   specified, invokes an interactive Bash subshell. The user can use
-   arbitrary Bash commands, plus the additional commands described under
-   `Commands`_, below.
-
-``ovs-sim`` and the sandbox environment that it creates does not require
-superuser or other special privileges.  Generally, it should not be run with
-such privileges.
-
-Options
-=======
-
-.. program: ovs-sim
-
-*script*
-    Runs *script*, which should be a Bash script, within a subshell
-    after initializing.  If multiple script arguments are given, then
-    they are run in the order given.  If any script exits with a
-    nonzero exit code, then ``ovs-sim`` exits immediately with the
-    same exit code.
-
-``-i`` or ``--interactive``
-    By default, if any script is specified, ``ovs-sim`` exits as soon as the
-    scripts finish executing. With this option, or if no scripts are specified,
-    ``ovs-sim`` instead starts an interactive Bash session.
-
-Commands
-========
-
-Scripts and interactive usage may use the following commands
-implemented by ``ovs-sim``.  They are implemented as Bash shell functions
-exported to subshells.
-
-Basic Commands
---------------
-
-These  are  the  basic commands for working with sandboxed Open vSwitch
-instances.
-
-``sim_add`` *sandbox*
-    Starts a new simulated Open vSwitch instance named *sandbox*.
-    Files related to the instance, such as logs, databases, sockets,
-    and pidfiles, are created in a subdirectory also named
-    *sandbox*. Afterward, the ``as`` command (see below) can be used
-    to run Open vSwitch utilities in the context of the new sandbox.
-
-    The new sandbox starts out without any bridges. Use ``ovs-vsctl``
-    in the context of the new sandbox to create a bridge, e.g.::
-
-        sim_add hv0           # Create sandbox hv0.
-        as hv0                # Set hv0 as default sandbox.
-        ovs-vsctl add-br br0  # Add bridge br0 inside hv0.
-
-    The Open vSwitch instances that ``sim_add`` creates enable
-    ``dummy`` devices.  This means that bridges and interfaces can be
-    created with type ``dummy`` to indicate that they should be
-    totally simulated, without any reference to system entities.  In
-    fact, ``ovs-sim`` also configures Open vSwitch so that the default
-    system type of bridges and interfaces are replaced by dummy
-    devices.  Other types of devices, however, retain their usual
-    functions, which means that, e.g., vxlan tunnels still act as
-    tunnels (refer to the documentation).
-
-``as`` *sandbox*
-    Sets sandbox as the default simulation target for Open vSwitch
-    commands (e.g. ``ovs-vsctl``, ``ovs-ofctl``, ``ovs-appctl``).
-
-    This command updates the beginning of the shell prompt to indicate
-    the new default target.
-
-``as`` *sandbox* *command* *arg*...
-    Runs the given command with *sandbox* as the simulation target,
-    e.g.  ``as hv0 ovs-vsctl add-br br0`` runs ``ovs-vsctl add-br
-    br0`` within sandbox ``hv0``.  The default target is unchanged.
-
-Interconnection Network Commands
---------------------------------
-
-When multiple sandboxed Open vSwitch instances exist, one will
-inevitably want to connect them together.  These commands allow for
-that.  Conceptually, an interconnection network is a switch that
-``ovs-sim`` makes it easy to plug into other switches in other
-sandboxed Open vSwitch instances.  Interconnection networks are
-implemented as bridges in the ``main`` switch that ``ovs-sim`` creates
-by default, so to use interconnection networks please avoid working
-with ``main`` directly.
-
-``net_add`` *network*
-    Creates a new interconnection network named *network*.
-
-``net_attach`` *network* *bridge*
-    Adds a new port to *bridge* in the default sandbox (as set with
-    ``as``) and plugs it into interconnection network *network*, which
-    must already have been created by a previous invocation of
-    ``net_add``. The default sandbox must not be ``main``.
-
-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``.
-
-Examples
-========
-
-The following creates a pair of Open vSwitch instances ``hv0`` and
-``hv1``, adds a port named ``vif0`` or ``vif1``, respectively, to each
-one, and then connects the two through an interconnection network
-``n1``::
-
-    net_add n1
-    for i in 0 1; do
-        sim_add hv$i
-        as hv$i ovs-vsctl add-br br0 -- add-port br0 vif$i
-        as hv$i net_attach n1 br0
-    done
-
-Here’s an extended version that also starts OVN::
-
-    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'
