Configuration Settings
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following configuration parameter needs to be set in the Neutron ML2
|
||
|
|
plugin configuration file under the 'ovn' section to enable DPDK support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**vhost_sock_dir**
|
||
|
|
This is the directory path in which vswitch daemon in all the compute
|
||
|
|
nodes creates the virtio socket. Follow the instructions in
|
||
|
|
INSTALL.DPDK.md in openvswitch source tree to know how to configure DPDK
|
||
|
|
support in vswitch daemons.

Configuration Settings in compute hosts
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compute nodes configured with OVS DPDK should set the datapath_type as
|
||
|
|
"netdev" for the integration bridge (managed by OVN) and all other bridges if
|
||
|
|
connected to the integration bridge via patch ports. The below command can be
|
||
|
|
used to set the datapath_type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sudo ovs-vsctl set Bridge br-int datapath_type=netdev
