Comment 2 Flavio Leitner 2014-07-16 21:01:00 UTC

Are you sure that the 'network' initscript is enabled?
The following command will return the runlevels which the initscript is enabled:
# chkconfig --list network


Can you tell if the bridge is created but there is no IP address or the bridge is not created at all?


Can you tell if after had reproduced the issue, the openvswitch systemd unit is running?
# systemctl status openvswitch


Also, I don't know the customer's requirements here, but the version reported is 2.0.0 version while we have 2.0.1 and 2.1.2 too.

Thanks,
fbl

Comment 3 Flavio Leitner 2014-07-16 21:10:59 UTC

Actually this looks like to be a dup of bz#1072574 (Fedora) and bz#1085492 (RHEL).  Could you upgrade the openvswitch rpm package accordingly?
(fixed version: openvswitch-2.0.1-2.el7)

Comment 4 Jeff Dexter 2014-07-16 21:45:12 UTC

Is there a repository that the openvswitch-2.0.1-2.el7 package is in?

Comment 5 Jeff Dexter 2014-07-17 17:24:39 UTC

@Flavio

openvswitch-2.0.1-2.el7.x86_64.rpm fixes issue but it is not in an accessible repo for RHEL7 users.

Open vSwitch package is not part of RHEL-7.  It's part of RHOS which needs an update (this is in progress).
