Hi Martin, didn't find you on IRC today. You might try to catch me later or on Monday if you like for faster checks and comparison.
I once more tried the ovs-dpdk setup. While I'm blocked later on on other things I clearly can pass the stage you are hanging on. I played a bit around and could cause the error you had by: 1. not having any card on a dpdk compatible driver 2. not enabling dpdk in ovs at all Could you please check your journalctl when starting openvswitch - it should have a section like the following per card (ovs-)dpdk initializes: ovs-ctl[2155]: PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 4, PHY: 3 ovs-ctl[2155]: PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x1528 horsea ovs-ctl[2155]: EAL: PCI device 0000:04:00.1 on NUMA socket 0 horsea ovs-ctl[2155]: EAL: probe driver: 8086:1528 rte_ixgbe_pmd horsea ovs-ctl[2155]: EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f5d40204000 horsea ovs-ctl[2155]: EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f5d40404000 horsea ovs-vswitchd[2189]: PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 4, PHY: 3 horsea ovs-vswitchd[2189]: PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x1528 You see "port 0" that will be what is "dpdk0" later on. When I e.g. have two devices in ugb_pci_generic and start OVS I get one for port 0 and one for port 1. Then I can later on use dpdk0 and dpdk1, but not e.g. dpdk2 Christian Ehrhardt Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd On Fri, Mar 11, 2016 at 10:17 PM, Martinx - ジェームズ <thiagocmarti...@gmail.com > wrote: > Hey Christian, > > Nice job on fixing many DPDK package bugs! :-D > > Replying inline below... > > On 9 March 2016 at 04:17, Christian Ehrhardt < > christian.ehrha...@canonical.com> wrote: > >> Thanks Jörg for making Martin and me aware. >> It is kind of a close call, as much of that are new features, but you are >> right - so I'll be moving this to the Ubuntu-sever mailing list. >> >> @Martin: >> tl;dr - I suggest the following: >> - you let me know if anything more comes back from the Intel forum post >> > > Absolutely, I'll... > > >> - short Term I'd ask you to reach out on IRC to me on #ubuntu-server - my >> nick is "cpaelzer" (maybe we find something in an interactive session) >> > > Sounds perfect!
