7. Initialize the configuration database using ovsdb-tool, e.g.:
- % ovsdb-tool create /usr/local/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema
+ % mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/openvswitch
+ % ovsdb-tool create /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema

any managers specified in the database itself, and to use the SSL
configuration in the database:
- % ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db \
+ % ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db \
--remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock \
--remote=db:Open_vSwitch,managers \
--private-key=db:SSL,private_key \
- If you want to preserve the contents of your database, back it
up first, then use "ovsdb-tool convert" to upgrade it, e.g.:
- % ovsdb-tool convert /usr/local/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema
+ % ovsdb-tool convert /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema
4. Start the Open vSwitch daemons as described under "Building and
Installing Open vSwitch for Linux" above.

* The output of "ovs-dpctl show".
