Hello I have two fairly separate questions regarding vpp. The first concerns running in a KVM VM and the other is with sending messages from a client.
1) I'm trying to get VPP up and running in a Ubuntu KVM VM in an OpenStack environment. However I have trouble even starting it. I've installed the packages from binary (latest master) but the service fails to start. *"Main heap allocation failure!"* is printed in /var/log/upstart/vpp.log so I was thinking it might have something do to with the HugePages settings, but lowering the amount of requested pages in the config does not help. Also it works without issues in VirtualBox which had even fewer pages. Is there something specific that must be done to get VPP running in a KVM VM? 2) I have made a tiny client where I want to test sending a message to a loaded plugin. I've been following the guide on the wiki ( https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/How_To_Use_The_C_API) as well as looking at other test clients code. The problem I'm having is that when trying to get the message id base VPP prints "*msg_handler_internal:429: no handler for msg id 11*" and returns ~0. The `vl_client_connect_to_vlib' call seems to work OK so (I think) I have a connection to vpp. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something with how this actually works. Is it supposed to be possible to run separate applications that "connects" to the running VPP instance to send message etc., or is this only possible to do from a plugin? /Tomas
