You'll have issues using your steps and OvS 2.5. For ovs 2.5, you'll need to manually launch ovs-vswitchd using the --dpdk ... -- command line options. See: http://openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs-2.5/INSTALL.DPDK.md.txt for more information. Hope this helps. > I have done all the necessary pre-actions- > > rm -rf /usr/local/etc/openvswitch > rm -rf /usr/local/var/run/openvswitch > mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/openvswitch > mkdir -p /usr/local/var/run/openvswitch > modprobe uio > insmod igb_uio.ko > insmod rte_kni.ko kthread_mode =multiple/single > mkdir -p /mnt/huge > mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge > mkdir -p /mnt/hugepages > mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages > echo 1024 > > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages > > ./ovsdb/ovsdb-tool create /usr/lo\cal/etc/openvswitch/conf.db > ./vswitchd/vswitch.ovsschema > ./ovsdb/ovsdb-server --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock > --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,Open_vSwitch,manager_options --pidfile --detach > ./utilities/ovs-vsctl --no-wait init > ./utilities/ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-init=true > other_config:dpdk-lcore-mask=0x2 other_config:dpdk-socket-mem="512" > ./vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd unix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock --pidfile > --detach > ./utilities/ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:pmd-cpu-mask=0x4 > ./utilities/ovs-vsctl add-br br0 -- set bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev > > Regards, > Subrata > > _______________________________________________ > discuss mailing list > disc...@openvswitch.org > https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
