Hi Thiago, as James said this is a known dpdk behaviour - not special to OpenVswitch.
Any other DPDK tool like l2fwd or such would have killed you just the same. We documented it in the serverguide. No release for 16.04 yet but you can take a look at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/serverguide/trunk/view/head:/serverguide/C/network-config.xml Maybe you can bzr branch lp:serverguide and render it for yourself until it is released. It contains all the pitfalls I found so far. Most of the time we also added notes to the .conf files, but not yet in this case. James - what do you think should we add a warning in /etc/default/openvswitch-switch ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568627 Title: OpenvSwitch with DPDK brings all VirtIO NICs down, software reboot also doesn't work.
