Hello Team, We had a requirement to test OvS with DPDK in RHEL 7.6 environment.
We followed http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/install/dpdk/ to install OvS with DPDK. On following the procedures given in that link, we are facing an issue in the third step of Validating section. That is, exactly in this command: ovs-vsctl add-br br0 -- set bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev Error raised: ovs-vsctl: Error detected while setting up 'br0'. See ovs-vswitchd log for details. ovs-vsctl: The default log directory is "/usr/local/var/log/openvswitch". The log files are not in default directory instead in /var/log/openvswitch location. I checked the ovs-vswitchd.log and there is no log recorded for the above operation Setup details: [root@compute3 ~]# modinfo openvswitch filename: /lib/modules/3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64/kernel/net/openvswitch/openvswitch.ko.xz alias: net-pf-16-proto-16-family-ovs_packet alias: net-pf-16-proto-16-family-ovs_flow alias: net-pf-16-proto-16-family-ovs_vport alias: net-pf-16-proto-16-family-ovs_datapath license: GPL description: Open vSwitch switching datapath retpoline: Y rhelversion: 7.6 srcversion: 6FE05FC439FA9CE7E264684 depends: nf_conntrack,nf_nat,libcrc32c,nf_nat_ipv6,nf_nat_ipv4,nf_defrag_ipv6 intree: Y vermagic: 3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64 SMP mod_unload modversions signer: Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel signing key sig_key: A5:70:18:DF:B6:C9:D6:1F:CF:CE:0A:3D:02:8B:B3:69:BD:76:CA:ED sig_hashalgo: sha256 [root@compute3 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 (Maipo) [root@compute3 ~]# ovs-vswitchd --version ovs-vswitchd (Open vSwitch) 2.11.0 DPDK 18.11.0 Kindly let me know, why is such an error when I create the bridge with datapath type as netdev. - Keerthana
