When running openvswitch (OVS) with DPDK enabled, vhost-user sockets are
|
|
used to connect VMs to OVS. nova-compute needs access to those sockets in
|
|
order to plug them into OVS. For this reason, the directory containing
|
|
vhost-user sockets must have proper permissions. The openvswitch chart now
|
|
sets ownership of this directory to the UID of the nova user. The OVS chart
|
|
uses the same default as the Nova chart (42424). However, if the Nova UID
|
|
is changed in the Nova chart in a particular deployment, it also needs to
|
|
be changed in the OVS chart correspondingly if DPDK is used.
