Hi Tcnieh,

Looks like your nics are on NUMA1 (second numa node) – as their pci bus number 
is > 80.

But you have not told OvS to allocate hugepage memory on the second numa node – 
the 0 in “--socket-mem 1024,0).”

So you need to change your line to something like:
ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-socket-mem="512,512"

to have Hugepages available on both nodes.

Also you have allocated just a single core (core 0) for DPDK PMDs. It is also 
unusual to allocate core zero. That should work but with reduced performance as 
the PMD (on NUMA0) will have to access the packet data on NUMA1.

Have a look at your cpu topology. And modify your core-mask to allocate a core 
from NUMA1 also.

The details are in the docs: Documentation/topics/dpdk/* and 
Documentation/howto/dpdk.rst.

Regards,
Billy

Hello all,

  I am trying to get the performance of intel x520 10G NIC over Dell R630/R730, 
but I keep getting an unexpected error, please see below.



I followed the instruction of https://goo.gl/T7iTuk to compiler the DPDK and 
OVS code. I've successfully binded both my x520 NIC ports to DPDK, using either 
igb_uio or vfio_pci:



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And the hugepage was set to 2048 * 2M

Hugepagesize:       2048 kB

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Here comes the problem, while I tried to init the ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitch, 
I got the following error:

Therefore, I also got the same error when I added a dpdk-port:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





I've tried a solution described in https://goo.gl/3opVRT, which  is utilizing 
"uio_pci_generic" and disable intel_iommu. It didn't work to me.



Here is detail info about my test platform:

DPDK & OVS version: DPDK 16.11 & OVS 2.7.0, DPDK 17.05.1 & OVS 2.8.0, DPDK 
17.11 & OVS 2.9.0, DPDK 17.11 & OVS 2.10.0

OS: ubuntu 16.04

Hardware: Dell R730/R630 server  with intel X520 10G NIC

128G Memory, 32 Cores.



Can anybody help or give me a hint to debug? I'm totally loss here.
