Openvswitch package not build with dpdk

[Sanjay Upadhyay]

Description
===========
Unable to deploy tripleo with ovs-dpdk scenario, which is in docs http://tripleo.org/advanced_deployment/ovs_dpdk_config.html. The issue is that openvswitch package is not built with dpdk binaries, hence dpdk options cannot be applied.

Steps to reproduce
==================
I have centos-7.4. The openvswitch package details (repo delorean-pike-testing) are below

Here is the run -
[stack@undercloud ~]$ date
Fri Sep 15 12:18:51 UTC 2017
[stack@undercloud ~]$ yum list openvswitch -q
Installed Packages
openvswitch.x86_64 1:2.7.2-3.1fc27.el7 @delorean-pike-testing
[stack@undercloud ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)
[stack@undercloud ~]$ sudo ovs-vsctl get Open_vSwitch . iface_types
[geneve, gre, internal, lisp, patch, stt, system, tap, vxlan]

Expected result
===============

For DPDK to work we need iface_types
[dpdk, geneve, gre, internal, ipsec_gre, lisp, patch, stt, system, tap, vxlan]

Actual result
=============

[stack@undercloud ~]$ sudo ovs-vsctl get Open_vSwitch . iface_types
[geneve, gre, internal, lisp, patch, stt, system, tap, vxlan]

This is rebuilt of Fedora RPM, and it was done with DPDK enabled:
http://cbs.centos.org/kojifiles/packages/openvswitch/2.7.2/3.1fc27.el7/data/logs/x86_64/build.log

But even on Fedora, I also do not get dpdk in the iface_types list, there must be something more required to get DPDK working?

[Alan Pevec (apevec)]

@Sanjay reply from fbo was "It will not show the interfaces until you enable DPDK in the
database."

Can you check that?

[Numan Siddique (numansiddique)]

From the build logs, dpdk is indeed enabled. http://cbs.centos.org/kojifiles/packages/openvswitch/2.7.2/3.1fc27.el7/data/logs/x86_64/build.log.

@Alan,

Sorry for the bug, it seems the package is enabled with dpdk.

[root@ho302 ~]# ovs-vsctl get Open_vSwitch . iface_types
[dpdk, dpdkr, dpdkvhostuser, dpdkvhostuserclient, geneve, gre, internal, lisp, patch, stt, system, tap, vxlan]

All I needed to do was initialize the ovs-vswitchd with dpdk option -
ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-init=true
