This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1778016 I am copying this bug because: ovn 2.13 has this issue too. Description of problem: ovn-nbctl --daemon --pidfile is also related by openvswitch,but ovn 2.12 is seperated from ovs now Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openvswitch2.12-2.12.0-8.el7fdp ovn2.12-2.12.0-15.el7fdp ovn2.12-central-2.12.0-15.el7fdp ovn2.12-host-2.12.0-15.el7fdp How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: only start ovn,but didn't start ovs rlRun "systemctl start ovn-northd" rlRun "pkill -9 ovn-nbctl" "0-255" rlRun "ovn_daemon_pid=$(ovn-nbctl --pidfile --detach)" :: [ 20:04:36 ] :: [ BEGIN ] :: Running 'systemctl start ovn-northd' :: [ 20:04:36 ] :: [ PASS ] :: Command 'systemctl start ovn-northd' (Expected 0, got 0) :: [ 20:04:36 ] :: [ BEGIN ] :: Running 'pkill -9 ovn-nbctl' :: [ 20:04:36 ] :: [ PASS ] :: Command 'pkill -9 ovn-nbctl' (Expected 0-255, got 1) ovn-nbctl: /var/run/openvswitch/ovn-nbctl.pid.tmp: create failed (No such file or directory) :: [ 20:04:36 ] :: [ BEGIN ] :: Running 'ovn_daemon_pid=' :: [ 20:04:36 ] :: [ PASS ] :: Command 'ovn_daemon_pid=' (Expected 0, got 0) 2019-11-29T01:04:36Z|00001|unixctl|WARN|failed to connect to /var/run/openvswitch/ovnnb_db.ctl ovs-appctl: cannot connect to "/var/run/openvswitch/ovnnb_db.ctl" (No such file or directory) Actual results: ovn-nbctl: /var/run/openvswitch/ovn-nbctl.pid.tmp: create failed Expected results: ovn-nbctl: /var/run/ovn/ovn-nbctl.pid.tmp I think this file should create under the path /var/run/ovn/ Additional info:
