Hi, I'm trying to use OVS-DPDK vhostuserclient ports with a qemu guest on a CentOS host.
QEMU guest fails to start with the following error: error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2019-05-16T13:15:27.481680Z qemu-kvm: -chardev socket,id=charnet2,path=/var/run/openvswitch/vhost0,server: Failed to bind socket: Permission denied 2019-05-16T13:15:27.482078Z qemu-kvm: -chardev socket,id=charnet2,path=/var/run/openvswitch/vhost0,server: chardev: opening backend "socket" failed Seems to be an issue with qemu-kvm permission to create the sockets in /var/run/openvswitch Followed this article https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/ovs-dpdk-migrating-vhostuser-socket-mode-red-hat-openstack But is showing same error. Even running qemu-kvm and openvswitch with root is still returning Permission denied.
