[OPNFLWPLUG-1006] ODL Nitrogen (SR1): Cannot control switch with pre-existing meters

Tue, 10 Jul 2018 08:43:33 +0000

If I start up NetOS with a nitrogen-based ODL, ODL can not take control of a switch which has pre-existing meters.

The karaf log (attached) shows:

Not able to set MASTER role on device openflow:2465100910524604673, reason: Initial transaction cannot be submitted.
This mastering is mandatory, destroying context chain and closing connection for device openflow:2465100910524604673.

We see other exceptions in the Karaf Log (see below).

If I delete the meters before restarting NetOS, ODL can take control of the switch.

If I leave the meters present and start NetOS with a boron-based ODL, that ODL can take control of the switch.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Make sure there are no meters on the Switch
2) Take latest nitrogen and run up controller (ODL Nitrogen SR1)
3) Point switch back to controller
4) Wait for connected status on switch
6) Create meter on switch using OpenDaylight (or by CLI directly on the switch)

Check ODL logs for exception below:
