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.

Comment 4 Mingyu Shi 2021-06-20 14:01:51 UTC 
Verified with versions:
nmstate-1.0.2-11.el8_4.noarch
nispor-1.0.1-4.el8.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.30.0-7.el8.x86_64
openvswitch2.13-2.13.0-105.el8fdp.x86_64

1. Configuring ovs inside a container works.
2. If OVS is unusable(for example, stopping the openvswitch daemon in the host), nmstate will raise an error when trying to update anything of ovs:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/libnmstate/nm/context.py", line 213, in wait_all_finish
    raise tmp_error
libnmstate.error.NmstateDependencyError: Activate profile uuid:ae19ff6a-2c17-4e0e-a021-3e2f16e3390e iface:ovsbr1 type: ovs-interface failed: failed to communicating with Open vSwitch database, <enum NM_DEVICE_STATE_REASON_OVSDB_FAILED of type NM.DeviceStateReason>
3. Even though openvswitch daemon stopped, the existed ovs interfaces(created by nmstate or NM) still can be shown:
