Hugo:
 questions Pertain to  http://nullworks.wordpress.com/2012/09/19/kvm-and-openvswitch-on-centos-6-3-minimal/  :

1.  Preparing the host vefore adding to cloudstack:
  follow line 1  through line 87 of above link which include :
    starting libvirtd, get and install openvswitch, build & install openvswitch, copy sysconfig files, 

line 89 - 98:

 #create bridge file

   vi  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ovsbr1   ......

question:  Does part of bridge filename after the '-' in ifcfg-ovsbr1  , that is 'ovsbr1' need to match with physical interface used in   ovs-vsctl commands which are   to be  executed later after  'service  openvswitch start' is executed?

For example  if eth1 is physical nic, content of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 is:

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=BC:30:5B:D4:16:3C
IPV6INIT=no
#MTU=1500
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID="0142ba15-de11-499c-a1ba-82837b30f890"
IPADDR=10.223.58.195
NETMASK=255.255.255.192
GATEWAY=10.223.58.193
DNS1=10.223.110.254
USERCTL=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
DEFROUTE=yes
NAME="System eth1"


>  vi  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0                  ???  here I used 'br0'
DEVICE=br0
ONBOOT=yes
DEVICETYPE=ovs
TYPE=OVSPort                                                          ??? in the document, TYPE=
OVS_BRIDGE=br0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR= <Host IPaddress>
GATEWAY = <gateway IPAddress>
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
HOTPLUG=no

> rmmod bridge

> vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf    & append following at end of file
blacklist bridge

>  service openvswitch start

>  iptables -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
> iptables -A INPUT -i ovsbr1 -j ACCEPT
> iptables -A FORWARD -i ovsbr1 -j ACCE
> iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
> iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 1798 -j ACCEPT
> iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 16509 -j ACCEPT
> iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5900:6100 -j ACCEPT
> iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 49152:49216  -j ACCEPT
> iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
> service iptables save

> vi  /etc/sysconfig/iptables & comment following line

#-A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

> service iptables restart

> ovs-vsctl add-br   br0                   ???  br0  to match  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0  ?

> ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth1


question:  are above steps in correct order to prepare host before adding host to cloudstack?


2.  Add host to cloudstack
