Hi all Just wondering if anyone has successfully have DPDK running on VM inside Google Cloud. I’ve tried similar set up on my Mac Book Pro with Virtual Box and had success. Using similar recipe, I can’t have testpmd pass the initialization. Before I spend too much time, just wondering if I am working on mission impossible. ;) Your input is greatly appreciated.
Here is my setup: Google Cloud Compute Engine 4 vCore with 8 GB of memory Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 3 NIC with 2 used for DPDK (driver: net_virtio); I am a bit doubtful about this NIC but so far the NIC is up with “igb_uio" Rex ------------ EAL: Detected 4 lcore(s) EAL: No free hugepages reported in hugepages-1048576kB EAL: Probing VFIO support...
