ODL + Minitet - Lab high availability

Hello everyone!

I'm creating a basic laboratory with ODL + Mininet. After many tests with Helium SR3 and SR2, I just got success (install and control flows) using the version Base Hydrogem 1.0.

Now I need to create a high availability scenario. I want to install 02 Hydrogen (separate VMs) controllers, synchronizing flows between themselves and connected to Mininet (other VM). I imagine that the main would be the Master and the other would be the Slave. When executing the command to connect to the controller Mininet I should use a virtual IP, right?

"e.g.: sudo mn --controller=remote, ip=VIRTUAL-IP-ADDRESS --topo minimal"

The moment the Master controller goes offline, the Slave controller assumes the role and maintains connectivity with Mininet. So I can add new flows and modify existing ones.

How could I begin to do this?

Thanks Jefferson

I managed to configure high availability lab. Just follow the steps in this wiki https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/OpenDaylight_Controller:Clustering:HowTo and the basic functions worked so far.

Remembering, was only with the Hydrogen Base version.

I don't think you configure the mininet switches with a virtual IP address, but rather you use the individual controller IP addresses. This link should provide you with the information you're looking for.

Thanks Phillip. I tested this wiki and managed to connect the Mininet with two controllers, this is the output of the dump command:

mininet>dump
<hosth1:h1-eth0:10.0.0.1pid=8371>
<hosth2:h2-eth0:10.0.0.2pid=8373>
<hosth3:h3-eth0:10.0.0.3pid=8375>
<hosth4:h4-eth0:10.0.0.4pid=8379>
<ovsswitchs1:lo:127.0.0.1,s1-eth1:none,s1-eth2:none,s1-eth3:nonepid=8384>
<ovsswitchs2:lo:127.0.0.1,s2-eth1:none,s2-eth2:none,s2-eth3:nonepid=8387>
<remotecontrollerc1:10.1.1.200:6633pid=8360>
<remotecontrollerc2:10.1.1.201:6633pid=8365>

Now I'm studying how to synchronize data between Controllers, e.g.: Add and edit flows.
