[rdo-dev] Problem with OpenVSwitch and DPDK in RDO Rocky and Stein (master)

Thu Feb 14 11:42:57 UTC 2019

Hi,

Some hours ago, a new version of dpdk (nvr 18.11-2.el7_6) has been pushed
to CentOS extras repo following
https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2019:0233.

Latest openvswitch release (2.10.1) which is used in RDO Rocky and Stein is
not compatible with this dpdk version, so any attempt to install
openvswitch in these RDO releases will fail.

As a workaround for this problem, we are pushing a new build of openvswitch
(openvswitch-2.10.1-3.el7) to both Rocky and Stein with dpdk support
disabled [1].

User deploying RDO with openvswitch and DPDK will be impacted by this
change. We are working to find out a better solution to restore dpdk
support. Until then, if you need to use it, let us know in #rdo freenode
channel or one of the mailing lists.

Best regards,

Alfredo
