Being new to this dpdk stuff sorry for being a bit naïve. But I do need to some help.
The documentation says vswitchd will print the number of dpdk devices found? What is the exactly is the command I use to do this? I already am running the ovs-vswitch deamon. Also given I only did a single dpdk bind I am assuming the port to use is dpdk0. I tried to execute the following at got the following error: # ovs-vsctl add-port br-p1p1 dpdk0 -- set Interface p1p1 type=dpdk ovs-vsctl: no row "p1p1" in table Interface ‹ Gil On 10/8/14, 2:33 PM, "Pravin Shelar" <[email protected]> wrote: >On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 7:36 AM, MCGRATH, GIL <[email protected]> wrote: >> All, >> >> I build OVS from github trunk following the DPDK instructions. >> A few questions: >> >> Can I also load the kernel module and use create non >>datapath_type=netdev >> and non type=dpdk ports?
