Hi DTS Team,

This is Manindra, working for an organisation called biarca. Recently I
have started working on DPDK and DTS. My goal is to configured a host (DUT)
with DPDK and test the network performance from another host which is
tester. I have downloaded the latest stable DPDK source 18.05.1 from
dpdk.org and complied successfully. Also downloaded the DTS version 18.08
on tester host. On my hosts I have 2 10 gig nic and they were binded with
DPDK. Please note that I don't have and IXIA appliance in this test bed.

I have configured the dts file as shown below. pci address of my 10 gig
interface is *0000:08:00.0. *

Please don’t give any value to ixia_group if you don’t have ixia, for example, “ixia_group=” instead of “ixia_group=None”

Subject: [dts] Regarding the DPDK test suit execution failure.

Hi DTS Team,

This is Manindra, working for an organisation called biarca. Recently I have started working on DPDK and DTS. My goal is to configured a host (DUT) with DPDK and test the network performance from another host which is tester. I have downloaded the latest stable DPDK source 18.05.1 from dpdk.org<http://dpdk.org/> and complied successfully. Also downloaded the DTS version 18.08 on tester host. On my hosts I have 2 10 gig nic and they were binded with DPDK. Please note that I don't have and IXIA appliance in this test bed.

I have configured the dts file as shown below. pci address of my 10 gig interface is 0000:08:00.0.

DPDK test suit configuration:

Could you guys please let me know what is the issue with my configuration and how to resolve it.

> This is Manindra, working for an organisation called biarca. Recently I
> have started working on DPDK and DTS. My goal is to configured a host (DUT)
> with DPDK and test the network performance from another host which is
> tester. I have downloaded the latest stable DPDK source 18.05.1 from
> dpdk.org and complied successfully. Also downloaded the DTS version 18.08
> on tester host. On my hosts I have 2 10 gig nic and they were binded with
> DPDK. Please note that I don't have and IXIA appliance in this test bed.

Thank you Li, for you quick response. I have copied the dpdk.tar.gz file to
dts/dep. Please see the log trace from on-screen log.

*dut.192.168.20.11: ls /tmp/ && cd ~*
*             dut.192.168.20.11: scp -v dep/dpdk.tar.gz
root@192.168.20.11:/tmp/*
*             dut.192.168.20.11: ulimit -c unlimited*
*             dut.192.168.20.11: rm -rf ~/dpdk*
*             dut.192.168.20.11: tar zxf /tmp/dpdk.tar.gz -C ~*
*             dut.192.168.20.11: ls ~/dpdk*
*             dut.192.168.20.11: cd ~/dpdk*
