I have seen in the forums that it looks like OpenVZ does not currently work with the full features of OpenVSwitch which is a shame, but even at a basic level it would be good to use rather than standard bridging. I have attempted to compile it today but found a few compile errors partly linked to RHEL6.3 issues but I have fixed those and still get a few more which I can not get past when building the kernel module against the OpenVZ kernel. I presume this must be due to extra bits in the OpenVZ kernel that do not exist in the standard RHEL kernel.

I was under the impression that OpenVSwitch is already included in the
latest RHEL6 openvz kernels, so no extra modules would be needed? Just
userspace tools?

I saw CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH mentioned in both testing and stable kernel's
changelogs a while ago... June or July 2012?

Seems my assumption is wrong..?
