Supported OPNFV Installers -------------------------- Currently not all installers are supported. Fuel Installer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OVSNFV project supplies a Fuel Plugin to upgrade DPDK enabled Open vSwitch on an OPNFV to 2.5.90. Limitations ~~~~~~~~~~~ The same limitations that apply to using Fuel DPDK-enabled interfaces also apply when using this plugin. Including: * Fuel9 OVS-DPDK support works only for VLAN segmentation. * Only interfaces running the private network (and no other network) can be supported so each node needs a separate interface dedicated to the private network. * The nodes with dpdk enabled interfaces will need to have hugepages configured and some cores reserved for dpdk.
