Hi,

Sorry, that must have been my mistake as i had seen people say it was not possible. I have been trying to build the latest kernel module though when i got the error? do you know if this is possible?

If not do you know what the current module version is?

Thanks

Mark

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.
