Another useful fact: I found that sometimes when testpmd gives the, "MR cre= ation failure: Operation not permitted" error, stopping the VM (via the Azu= re portal) and restarting it fixes it. Someone on the Azure team suggested = that this is because of a problem on some VM hosts. Stopping and starting t= he VM is likely to move it to a new host that might not have the problem. I= believe they are working on fixing the bad hosts. ________________________________ From: Hui Ling <kelvin.brookletling@gmail.com> Sent: 10 April 2018 09:40 To: Stephen Hemminger Cc: Andrew Bainbridge; users@dpdk.org Subject: Re: [dpdk-users] DPDK mlx4 PMD on Azure VM In case anyone else might need. I solved this issue by installing the mlx4 related libraries from mlxn ofed source for azure. 1) download source from: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.mella= nox.com%2Fpage%2Ffirmware_table_Microsoft%3Fmtag%3Doem_firmware_download&da= ta=3D02%7C01%7Candbain%40microsoft.com%7Ca8d12124d8ab49e8bf7508d59ebeacaa%7= C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636589464133550197&sdata=3DegGz= dWoT9wZ13HRxzjdpBUWYXhA2Mm%2FjR4ARuowevUQ%3D&reserved=3D0 Note: download the sources (48M), not the others. For some reason, only the source package works for me. 2) unpack and install ./install.pl --guest --dpdk --upstream-libs 3) after installation completes, run /etc/init.d/openibd restart this will insert mlx4 related module into kernels. After that, build dpdk and run testpmd seems working for me So not sure what is the deal with the MLNX packages for Azure, but this seems to be way for me to make it work. Hope this may help someone else.
