Re: [dpdk-dev] dpdk config on VM

hi ,
The below error is because invalid coremask , your VM has only one core ,
but you are trying to assign  eal option as -c 0xf that means you are
assigning 1,2,3,4 cores to dpdk application which are not available in your
VM .
you can increase sufficient number of cores while u launch virtual machine .

please check EAL options for dpdk before proceeding .

[dpdk-dev] dpdk config on VM

[Raja Jayapal]

Hi All,

I am tyrying to install dpdk on ubuntu and test the applications.
I have successfully installed dpdk on Host as per the instruction guide , but little bit confused on how to bind it with VM.

VM1(TrafficGen)------Host(DPDK)------VM2(Receiver)

Do we need to install ovs to test the flows for the above scenarios?.
I did search a lot, but didnt get clear idea like how to do config on VM side.
Please point out some config/installation guide for the same.


Thanks in Advance,
Raja
