Hi Sean,

Thanks for your help before. It would be great if you look into another
issue too.

Am able to run stack.sh successfully and all services are up. But,
libvirt version was 1.2.2 and qemu version was 2.0.0

To satisfy the minimum requirement of qemu- version >=2.1 and
libvirt-version >= 1.2.10
I manually installed qemu and libvirt from respective sources.

Now
$ kvm --version
 /usr/bin/kvm: line 42: /tmp/qemu.orig: Permission denied
 QEMU emulator version 2.1.3, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

$ virsh --version
1.2.10

So basic requirement is satisfied.

Before creating an instance ran the below command,
$ nova flavor-key m1.tiny set "hw:mem_page_size=large"

Now created an instance
$ nova boot --flavor m1.tiny --image cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec --nic
net-id=445e2dc5-221b-48ea-aea4-d04dee12fc7f --security-group default
demo-instance1

It gives the ERROR :

I suspect this is because, I manually installed libvirt and qemu. My doubt
is why devstack is not installing a correct version when it is supposed to.
why a version less than min requirement is being installed???
Now that because am installing manually, there might be a problem with
groups - devstack creates some group and installs but manual installation
doesn't bother about that groups.
Can you please suggest a way on how do avoid that???

Also, I just want to make sure that the agent running is
neutron-openvswitch only. No ovsdpdk agent running.
$ ps -Al | grep neutron
0 S  1000  8882  8859  3  80   0 - 49946 ep_pol pts/34   00:02:24
neutron-openvsw

But
$ neutron agent-list
3385a430-5738-43cb-b853-059add5ab602 | DPDK OVS Agent |
ubuntu-Precision-Tower-5810 | :-)   | True           |
neutron-openvswitch-agent

So this implies that dpdk agent is running right??? I remember reading in
launchpad bugs that ovsdpdk agent is removed and that now openvswitch takes
care of everything. Just wanted to confirm that my setup has ovs-dpdk
running.

Regards,
Prathyusha
