OVS-DPDK Source build¶
CentOS and Oracle Linux currently do not provide packages for ovs with dpdk. The Ubuntu packages do not support UIO based drivers. To use the uio_pci_generic driver on Ubuntu a source build is required.
Building ovs with dpdk containers from source¶
- Append the following to /etc/kolla/kolla-build.conf to select the version of ovs and dpdk to use for your source build.
kolla-build.conf¶
[openvswitch-base-plugin-ovs] type = git location = https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs.git reference = v2.7.0
[openvswitch-base-plugin-dpdk] type = git location = http://dpdk.org/git/dpdk reference = v17.02
To build the container execute the follow command:
tools/build.py --template-override \ contrib/template-override/ovs-dpdk.j2 dpdk
