[ovs-discuss] [dpdk-dev] DPDK OVS on Ubuntu 14.04# Issue's Resolved# Successfully setup DPDK OVS with vhostuser

Hi Przemek,

Thank you so much for sharing the ref guide.

Would be appreciate if clear one doubt. 

At present we are setting up openstack kilo interactively and further 
replacing ovs with ovs-dpdk enabled. 
Once the above setup done, We are creating instance in openstack and 
passing that instance id to QEMU command line which further passes the 
vhost-user sockets to instances, enabling the DPDK libraries in it.

Isn't this the correct way of integrating ovs-dpdk with openstack?


Thanks & Regards
Abhijeet Karve

HI Abhijeet,
 
For Kilo you need to use ovsdpdk mechanism driver and a matching agent to 
integrate ovs-dpdk with OpenStack.
 
The guide you are following only talks about running ovs-dpdk not how it 
should be integrated with OpenStack.
 
Please follow this guide:
https://github.com/openstack/networking-ovs-dpdk/blob/stable/kilo/doc/source/getstarted/ubuntu.rst
 
Best regards
Przemek

Successfully setup DPDK OVS with vhostuser
 
Hi Przemek, 


We have configured the accelerated data path between a physical interface 
to the VM using openvswitch netdev-dpdk with vhost-user support. The VM 
created with this special data path and vhost library, I am calling as 
DPDK instance. 

If assigning ip manually to the newly created Cirros VM instance, We are 
able to make 2 VM's to communicate on the same compute node. Else it's not 
associating any ip through DHCP though DHCP is in compute node only. 

Yes it's a compute + controller node setup and we are using following 
software platform on compute node: 
_____________ 
Openstack: Kilo 
Distribution: Ubuntu 14.04 
OVS Version: 2.4.0 
DPDK 2.0.0 
_____________ 

We are following the intel guide 
https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2015/06/09/building-vhost-user-for-ovs-today-using-dpdk-200 


When doing "ovs-vsctl show" in compute node, it shows below output:

Further we don't know what all the network changes(Packet Flow addition) 
if required for associating IP address through the DHCP. 

Would be really appreciate if have clarity on DHCP flow establishment. 



Thanks & Regards

Successfully setup DPDK OVS with vhostuser 




Hi Abhijeet,

If you answer below questions it will help me understand your problem.

What do you mean by DPDK instance?
Are you able to communicate with other VM's on the same compute node?
Can you check if the DHCP requests arrive on the controller node? (I'm 
assuming this is at least compute+ controller setup)

Best regards
Przemek
