Open vSwitch on Fedora Linux | ||
============================ | ||
|
||
This document provides instructions for building and installing Open vSwitch | ||
RPM packages on a Fedora Linux host. Instructions for the installation of Open | ||
vSwitch on a Fedora Linux host without using RPM packages can be found in the | ||
`general installation guide <INSTALL.rst>`__. | ||
|
||
These instructions have been tested with Fedora 23, and are also applicable for | ||
RHEL 7.x and its derivatives, including CentOS 7.x and Scientific Linux 7.x. | ||
|
||
Build Requirements | ||
------------------ | ||
|
||
To build packages for a Fedora Linux host, you will need the packages described | ||
in the `general installation guide <INSTALL.rst>`__. Specific packages (by | ||
package name) include: | ||
|
||
- rpm-build | ||
- autoconf automake libtool | ||
- systemd-units openssl openssl-devel | ||
- python python-twisted-core python-zope-interface python-six | ||
- desktop-file-utils | ||
- groff graphviz | ||
- procps-ng | ||
|
||
And (optionally): | ||
|
||
- libcap-ng libcap-ng-devel | ||
- dpdk-devel | ||
|
||
Bootstraping | ||
------------ | ||
|
||
Refer to the *Bootstrapping* section of the `general installation guide | ||
<INSTALL.rst>`__. | ||
|
||
Configuring | ||
----------- | ||
|
||
Refer to the *Configuring* section of the `general installation guide | ||
<INSTALL.rst>`__. | ||
|
||
Building | ||
-------- | ||
|
||
User Space RPMs | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
To build Open vSwitch user-space RPMs, execute the following from the directory | ||
in which `./configure` was executed: | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
$ make rpm-fedora | ||
|
||
This will create the RPMs `openvswitch`, `python-openvswitch`, | ||
`openvswitch-test`, `openvswitch-devel`, `openvswitch-ovn-common`, | ||
`openvswitch-ovn-central`, `openvswitch-ovn-host`, `openvswitch-ovn-vtep`, | ||
`openvswitch-ovn-docker`, and `openvswitch-debuginfo`. | ||
|
||
To enable DPDK support in the openvswitch package, the ``--with dpdk`` option | ||
can be added: | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
$ make rpm-fedora RPMBUILD_OPT="--with dpdk" | ||
|
||
The above commands automatically run the Open vSwitch unit tests, which can | ||
take several minutes. To reduce the build time by disabling the execution of | ||
these tests, the ``--without check`` option can be added: | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
$ make rpm-fedora RPMBUILD_OPT="--without check" | ||
|
||
Kernel OVS Tree Datapath RPM | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
To build the Open vSwitch kernel module for the currently running kernel | ||
version, run: | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
$ make rpm-fedora-kmod | ||
|
||
To build the Open vSwitch kernel module for another kernel version, the desired | ||
kernel version can be specified via the `kversion` macro. For example: | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
$ make rpm-fedora-kmod \ | ||
RPMBUILD_OPT='-D "kversion 4.3.4-300.fc23.x86_64"' | ||
|
||
Installing | ||
---------- | ||
|
||
RPM packages can be installed by using the command ``rpm -i``. Package | ||
installation requires superuser privileges. | ||
|
||
The `openvswitch-kmod` RPM should be installed first if the Linux OVS tree | ||
datapath module is to be used. The `openvswitch-kmod` RPM should not be | ||
installed if only the in-tree Linux datapath or user-space datapath is needed. | ||
See the `FAQ document <FAQ.rst>`__ for more information about the various Open | ||
vSwitch datapath options. | ||
|
||
In most cases only the `openvswitch` RPM will need to be installed. The | ||
`python-openvswitch`, `openvswitch-test`, `openvswitch-devel`, and | ||
`openvswitch-debuginfo` RPMs are optional unless required for a specific | ||
purpose. | ||
|
||
The `openvswitch-ovn-*` packages are only needed when using OVN. | ||
|
||
Refer to the `RHEL README <rhel/README.RHEL.rst>`__ for additional usage and | ||
configuration information. | ||
