Open Stack

Hi this mailing list if for OVDK the intel for ovs with the dpdk dpif datapath.

The networking-ovs-dpdk repo support ovs from openvswitch.org with the dpdk netdev datapath.

Issue and support should be directed to the openstack dev mailing list (openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org) with the following in the subject "[networking-ovs-dpdk]"

That said I occasionally check this list tough very rarely.


While im hear Ill try and answer your questions


1.       Do we need to update any other files along with copying local.conf
to devstack directory?

Answer: the only lines that should need to be changed are 
https://github.com/openstack/networking-ovs-dpdk/blob/master/doc/source/_downloads/local.conf.single_node#L47-L49

2.       In OVS_BRIDGE_MAPPINGS="default:br-eth0”, do I need to change the
interface to some other interface?

Answer: The interface name chosen should be a dedicated interface as it will be unbound from the kernel networking stack and bound to the userspace dpdk driver.
As a result if you use your management interface it will result in a loss of conectivy to the node as the interface will be unbound from the kernel.


3.       I would like to build DPDK with “x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc”,
where should I update this?

Answer: you can update this by setting the RTE_TARGET variable to “x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc” in the local.conf 
This will override the default value set here https://github.com/openstack/networking-ovs-dpdk/blob/master/devstack/settings#L13
It should be noted that the default target " x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc" contains all the functionality of x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc  
+ support for ivshmem. Using “x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc” is not tested but should work.


4.       I would like to create the ovs-dpdk vhostuser ports, with the
other two eth ports, ie.., eth1 & eth2. Where should I update the config for this?

Answer: Vhost-user is a northbound(between vm and vswitch) port type. It is not related to phyical interfaces.

If you want to have multiple phyical interfaces added to ovs-dpdk automatically you can do this by
Setting the following parameter in the local.conf
https://github.com/openstack/networking-ovs-dpdk/blob/master/devstack/settings#L38-L44

see https://github.com/openstack/networking-ovs-dpdk/blob/master/doc/source/usage.rst
for documentation and examples of how to use these parameters to customize the deployment.

For example 
OVS_BRIDGE_MAPPINGS=default:br-01,default1:br-02
OVS_DPDK_PORT_MAPPINGS=eth1:br-01,eth2:br-01,eth3:br-02

Will create 2 phyical bridges connected to the br-int.

Eth1 and eth2 will be added to the first bridge br-01 and eth3 will be added to the second bridge br-02

If you wanted to bond eth1 and eth2 instead you could do so as follows

OVS_BRIDGE_MAPPINGS=default:br-01,default1:br-02
OVS_BOND_MODE=bond0:active-backup
OVS_BOND_PORTS=bond0:eth1,bond0:eth2
OVS_DPDK_PORT_MAPPINGS=bond0:br-01,eth3:br-02

The follow review contains some updated Getting Started Guides for ubuntu which may help with your deployment
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/243190/

I have added the openstack dev mailing list.
If you have any follow up questions feel free to reach out to me there.

regards
sean.

Subject: [Dpdk-ovs] networking-ovs-dpdk configuration on devstack

Hi All,



I’m trying to install networking-ovs-dpdk with openstack (devstack) on Ubuntu 14.04 (3.13 kernel) on a single node.



Used following steps:

1.       echo "stack ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers

2.       apt-get install sudo -y

3.       apt-get install sudo -y || yum install -y sudo

4.       sudo apt-get install git -y || sudo yum install -y git

5.       git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack

6.       cd devstack

7.       ./stack.sh



stack at ubuntu:~/devstack$ ifconfig

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 52:55:00:00:00:01

          inet addr:10.54.218.56  Bcast:10.54.218.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          inet6 addr: fe80::5055:ff:fe00:1/64 Scope:Link

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX packets:104 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          TX packets:102 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

          RX bytes:10537 (10.5 KB)  TX bytes:14847 (14.8 KB)



I have two other eth1,2 ports on the machine.



I used https://github.com/openstack/networking-ovs-dpdk/blob/master/doc/source/_downloads/local.conf.single_node
file as local.conf
<https://github.com/openstack/networking-ovs-dpdk/blob/master/doc/source/_downloads/local.conf.single_node%20file%20as%20local.conf>
and copied the

same to devstack directory and updated with following details.



I’m facing problem with following configuration.



stack at ubuntu:~/devstack$ cat local.conf

#All in one single node config

[[local|localrc]]

HOST_IP_IFACE=eth0

HOST_IP=10.54.218.56

OVS_BRIDGE_MAPPINGS="default:br-eth0"



With the above configuration, I’m loosing the management connection of the host.

Please let me know:

1.       Do we need to update any other files along with copying local.conf
to devstack directory?

2.       In OVS_BRIDGE_MAPPINGS="default:br-eth0”, do I need to change the
interface to some other interface?

3.       I would like to build DPDK with “x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc”,
where should I update this?

4.       I would like to create the ovs-dpdk vhostuser ports, with the
other two eth ports, ie.., eth1 & eth2. Where should I update the config for this?



FYI: DPDK: 2.0.0 version OVS: 2.4.0
