一、环境：
宿主机：mac os 10.10
虚拟机：virtualbox 4.3.20
虚拟机操作系统：CentOS7-1406
Openvswitch 2.3.0
二、安装
1、安装依赖包：yum -y install openssl-devel wget kernel-devel
2、安装开发工具：yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
3、添加用户：adduser ovswitch，切换用户并跳转至用户文件夹：su - ovswitch
4、下载源码：wget http://openvswitch.org/releases/openvswitch-2.3.0.tar.gz
5、解压：tar xfz openvswitch-2.3.0.tar.gz
6、创建编译目录：mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
7、从spec文件中删除openvswitch-kmod的依赖包，并创建一个新的spec文件：
sed ‘s/openvswitch-kmod, //g‘ openvswitch-2.3.0/rhel/openvswitch.spec > openvswitch-2.3.0/rhel/openvswitch_no_kmod.spec
8、开始编译：rpmbuild -bb --without check ~/openvswitch-2.3.0/rhel/openvswitch_no_kmod.spec
可能出现以下错误：
error: File /home/ovswitch/rpmbuild/SOURCES/openvswitch-2.3.0.tar.gz: No such file or directory
解决办法：cp openvswitch-2.3.0.tar.gz rpmbuild/SOURCES
9、退出当前用户使用root： exit
10、安装编译生成的rpm文件：
yum localinstall /home/ovswitch/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/openvswitch-2.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm
11、启动服务：systemctl start openvswitch.service
12、查看服务状态：systemctl -l status openvswitch.service
可能出现以下错误：

mkdir /etc/openvswitch
semanage fcontext -a -t openvswitch_rw_t "/etc/openvswitch(/.*)?"
