This issue happens since DPDK_OPTS parameter is not forwarded to ovs- ctl. To make it working, /etc/init/openvswitch-switch.conf should be modified like the following so that DPDK_OPTS parameter can be forwarded to ovs-ctl
if test X"$FORCE_COREFILES" != X; then set "$@" --force-corefiles="$FORCE_COREFILES" fi set "$@" $OVS_CTL_OPTS # To enable openvswitch-dpdk if test X"$DPDK_OPTS" != X; then set "$@" --dpdk-opts="$DPDK_OPTS" fi This patch works fine on my machine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547463 Title: openvswitch-dpdk starting with DPDK_OPTS parameter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch-dpdk/+bug/1547463/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
