With QEMU 1.6.2 please make sure that you have hugepages set up and that you provide the "-mem-path /path/to/hugepages -mem-prealloc" arguments on the QEMU command line. Secondly, please make sure that the name of the vhost port you provided to add-port matches the "ifname" parameter on the QEMU command line: OVS: ovs-vsctl add-port br0 ovsdpdk0 -- set Interface type=dpdkvhost QEMU: -netdev type=tap,id=net1,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=ovsdpdk0,vhost=on Thirdly, ensure that the eventfd_link.ko module is inserted. > > The ovsdpdk0 port always remains DOWN. > Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Have you tested with traffic? Or are you relying on the config/state UP/DOWN to verify if the port is connected to the switch? > > Thank you in advance, > Marcel > > > _______________________________________________ > dev mailing list > dev@openvswitch.org > http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev -------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Shannon Limited Registered in Ireland Registered Office: Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, County Kildare Registered Number: 308263 Business address: Dromore House, East Park, Shannon, Co.
