[NETVIRT-590] ODL Controller is unable to insert flows in OVS - flows are missing in T21

Sat, 12 Aug 2017 02:05:47 +0000

Overview:
---------
ODL Controller is unable to insert flows in OVS - flows are missing in T21

Details:
--------

Loaded a setup with cluster of ODL controllers (3)
Created 3 + external network
1 router connected to all networks
6 VMs (2 per network)

Observed behavior:
------------------

Only one VM had connectivity to FIP
No L3 connectivity between the VMs

Investigation (with Olga S. Help):
----------------------------------
it seems to be an issue while installing rules to the OVS. I have looked at the devstack-newton-2: ip/10.0.107.147, NodeId:Uri [_value=openflow:35570990444905]

In the karaf odl1.log , I can see multiple errors like below. It happens each time when FIB entry should be installed to OVS:
2017-04-03 14:12:23,271 | ERROR | CommitFutures-10 | MDSALManager | 338 - org.opendaylight.genius.mdsalutil-impl - 0.1.3.R1_0-SR2_1 | Install Flow – Failed because of concurrent transaction modifying same data

Therefore in OVS dump-flows the rules are missed, but they exist in the inventory-nodes DS model .
For example, you can look for L3.35570990444905.21.1b659968-a509-4645-9cb3-6532031c242e.42.2.2.2.212 here :
