RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vladimir Benes 2017-11-24 11:34:12 UTC
Description of problem:
creating some default openvswitch configuration in NM 

           $ nmcli conn add conn.type ovs-bridge conn.interface bridge0
           Connection 'ovs-bridge-bridge0' (d10fc64d-1d48-4394-a1b8-e1aea72f27d5) successfully added.
           $ nmcli conn add conn.type ovs-port conn.interface port0 conn.master bridge0
           Connection 'ovs-port-port0' (5ae22bae-bba4-4815-9ade-7e635633e1f0) successfully added.
           $ nmcli conn add conn.type ovs-interface conn.interface iface0 conn.master port0 \
             ipv4.method manual ipv4.address 192.0.2.1/24
           Connection 'ovs-interface-iface0' (3640d2a1-a2fd-4718-92f1-cffadb5b6c
dc) successfully added.

       As said above, you need to create a Port even for a single interface.
       Also, before you add the Interface, the Bridge and Port devices appear
       active, but are not configured in OVSDB yet. You can inspect the
       results with ovs-vsctl show.

       Example 2. Adding a Linux interface to a Bridge

           $ nmcli conn add conn.type ovs-port conn.interface port1 conn.master bridge0
           Connection 'ovs-port-port1' (67d041eb-8e7b-4458-afee-a1d07c9c4552) successfully added.
           $ nmcli conn add conn.type ethernet conn.interface eth0 conn.master port1
           Connection 'ovs-slave-eth0' (d459c45c-cf78-4c1c-b4b7-505e71379624) successfully added.

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/NetworkManager from 'connectto' accesses on the unix_stream_socket /run/openvswitch/db.sock.

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests   ******************

If you want to allow daemons to enable cluster mode
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'daemons_enable_cluster_mode' boolean.

Do
setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1

*****  Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that NetworkManager should be allowed connectto access on the db.sock unix_stream_socket by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'NetworkManager' --raw | audit2allow -M my-NetworkManager
# semodule -i my-NetworkManager.pp
