This patch updates the following commands in the vswitch:
ovs-vsctl add-br br-test
ovs-vsctl del-br br-test
ovs-vsctl add-br br-test:
This command will now create an internal port on the MSFT virtual switch
using the WMI interface from Msvm_VirtualEthernetSwitchManagementService
leveraging the method AddResourceSettings.
Before creating the actual port, the switch will be queried to see if there
is not a port already created (good for restarts when restarting the
vswitch daemon). If there is a port defined it will return success and log
a message.
After checking if the port already exists the command will also verify
if the forwarding extension (windows datapath) is enabled and on a single
switch. If it is not activated or if it is activated on multiple switches
it will return an error and a message will be logged.
After the port was created on the switch, we will disable the adapter on
the host and rename to the corresponding OVS bridge name for consistency.
The user will enable and set the values he wants after creation.
ovs-vsctl del-br br-test
This command will remove an internal port on the MSFT virtual switch
using the Msvm_VirtualEthernetSwitchManagementService class and executing
the method RemoveResourceSettings.
Both commands will be blocking until the WMI job is finished, this allows us
to guarantee that the ports are created and their name are set before issuing
a netlink message to the windows datapath.
This patch also includes helpers for normal WMI retrievals and initializations.
Appveyor and documentation has been modified to include the libraries needed
for COM objects.
This patch was tested individually using IMallocSpy and CRT heap checks
to ensure no new memory leaks are introduced.
Tested on the following OS's:
Windows 2012, Windows 2012r2, Windows 2016
