libvirt cannot create openvswitch vswitch.
You need to create a vswitch manually, used the ovs-vsctl add-br.
ex)
# ovs-vsctl add-br ovs1

After vswitch creation, type the "ovs1" on "Networks -> New Network -> Bridge Name".

Libvirt release 0.9.11 has added support for Open vSwitch so it is no longer required to use bridge compatibility mode! and then，whether we can create ovs using web UI ?

Now, libvirt 0.9.11 or higher can connect port to the openvswitch upon start-up of the VM, but it cannot create the vswitch.
If you need to create vswitch using web UI, need to run the ovs-vsctl command via the webvirtmgr.

See: http://git.openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL.Libvirt;hb=HEAD

ovs-vsctl add-br ovs1,I will use it in web server or host server? both
