Correcting and clarifying the documention for how to build OVS images with DPDK support: * The additional heading was confusing and the following sentence even more so. * Fixed the image name in the build command. * Updated the OVS and DPDK version numbers to current stable versions.

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.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
[openvswitch-base-plugin-ovs]
|
|
type = git
|
|
location = https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs.git
|
|
reference = v2.10.0
|
|
|
|
[openvswitch-base-plugin-dpdk]
|
|
type = git
|
|
location = http://dpdk.org/git/dpdk
|
|
reference = v17.11
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build the container, run the following command inside a cloned kolla
|
|
repository:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
tools/build.py -t source --template-override contrib/template-override/ovs-dpdk.j2 ovsdpdk
