Hi,
I have an existing OVS bridge, that I can see in ovs-vsctl and use
for other purposes.

Does the bridge show up when you run "ovs-vsctl list-br"? Both OVS bridges I have on my system are seen in that list. I created them both with "ovs-vsctl add-br BLAH". How did you create your bridges?


I've edited the machine's XML as instructed in
http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/howto/libvirt/

When I try to start the VM, i get
error: Cannot get interface MTU on 'ovsbr': No such device

Is your OVS switch named "ovsbr"?


Any ideas?

(Note: I can't see the ovs switch in brctl show or any other regular
kernel tool, should it appear there?)

On my Fedora 31 system at least, OVS devices are not visible in "brctl show", but they *are* visible with "ip link show". For example:

19: ovs-system: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 0a:f7:2a:85:08:7c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
20: ovsbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 96:92:7a:1d:a6:4c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff



Versions:
openvswitch-2.10.1-3.fc30.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-5.1.0-9.fc30.x86_64

The only differences on my system is the versions - I'm running Fedora 31, the openvswitch package is at 2.12, and libvirt is 6.0.0 (unreleased), but this is the same setup I've had for at least a few years. The only other package on the system with "openvswitch" in the name is "network-scripts-openvswitch", and I doubt that would have any effect like what you're talking about.
