hi,

To add more information, the server I'm using has two CPU sockets and two
NUMA nodes. One is numbered as Node 2 and other one as Node 6
one more observation is the following command is getting executed
successfully.
$ sudo dpdk-hugepages.py -p 1G --setup 2G -n 2
also the following one
$ sudo dpdk-hugepages.py -p 1G --setup 2G -n 6
After executing the first command, 1G huge pages are getting created. After
executing the second command, huge pages under node 2 are getting deleted.

Following is the output of dpdk-testpmd command
