[ovs-discuss] dpdk options in ovs-vswitchd

[Vinod, Chegu]

<re-posting as the earlier message didn't go thru>

Hello,

I just git cloned the OVS tree and was trying out the instructions given in INSTALL.DPDK ('am using DPDK 1.7.0) and ran into this :


# ./vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd --dpdk -c 0x1 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024,0    ./vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd: invalid option -- 'n'   -- unix:$DB_SOCK --pidfile --detach

./vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd: invalid option -- 'n'


Could you please let me know the correction option to use in the above ?

I looked around and didn't find much documentation...so if possible could you please update the INSTALL.DPDK and other documents to reflect the current options to use with dpdk ?

Thanks!
Vinod
