Binary Bit Me Libvirt
0.9.11 has Support for Open vSwitch Libvirt release 0.9.11 has added support for Open vSwitch so it is no longer required to use bridge compatibility mode! Fedora 17 has 0.9.11 included.
如果現在要在Centos6.3上用的話，還是需要自己自行編譯Openvswitch
如果要openvswitch支持libvirt的話，libvirt版本需要0.9.11或者以上
現在centos6.3上最新的libvirt的版本是0.9.10，現在只好自己手動編譯一個，相信不久馬上會更新到0.9.11版的
