Thanks Alex.  I had missed the –with-dpdk
I am now able to get to the next steps…

Hey Vinod,

We are working on updating the documentation, but the current steps
in INSTALL.DPDK should work for dpdk-1.7.0.

I just followed the steps (only thing different is this:
./configure --with-dpdk=$DPDK_BUILD --enable-ssl) and built/ran ovs dpdk
successfully

Could you make sure that your './vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd' is the one you build
with dpdk?  (e.g. checking './vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd --version' to confirm the
compile time and version number)

Thanks,
Alex Wang,

Hello,

I just git cloned the OVS tree and was trying out the instructions given in 
INSTALL.DPDK (‘am using DPDK 1.7.0) and ran into this :


# ./vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd --dpdk -c 0x1 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024,0    
./vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd: invalid option -- 'n'   -- unix:$DB_SOCK --pidfile 
--detach

./vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd: invalid option -- 'n'


Could you please let me know the correction option to use in the above ?

I looked around and didn’t find much documentation…so if possible could you 
please update the INSTALL.DPDK and other documents to reflect the current 
options to use with dpdk ?

Thanks!
Vinod

Sure, I will send patch.
