What "controller" means here? is it an openflow controller or controller made by xensource?
as I know, openflow standard has no definition for creating a GRE tunnel.
thank you

Hi Frank,

You need to connect the Open vSwitch Controller that came with XS 5.6 FP1 beta 
to your pool. The controller sees the tunnels that you create by the xe 
commands (as you did), and will create the GRE ports on the vSwitches for you.

Regards,
Rob

  Hi,
     In XenServer5.6 FP1 beta, I have switched default bridge to open
vswitch, I wonder how to use "xe tunnel-create" to create a GRE tunnel.

my commands:

xe tunnel-create pif-uuid=eth0_uuid
network-uuid=network_created_by_xe_network_create

then I got an uuid which is "access-PIF" of output from "xe tunnel-list".

what should I do next? how to set remote_ip and GRE type and GRE key?

I already know how to do these by open vswitch, I just want to use xe
command do same things.

than kyou.
