The addition of the BMP_STATE_DB database in PR #19016 breaks the Smart Switch database service and fully blocks SONiC startup on the Smart Switch NPU. In the Smart Switch, we have a DPU DB instance running on the NPU in a separate container for each DPU available in the system. With the implementation in PR #19016, each container tries to run the redis_bmp process, which listens on the same port 6400. Since multiple applications cannot listen on the same port, the start of the DPU containers fails, blocking the SONiC startup.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
Compile an image from the latest master branch that includes PR #19016
Install image on the Smart Switch device
Check DPU DB status
Describe the results you received:
DPU DB fails to start
Describe the results you expected:
DPU DB starts with no issue
