[Sara Gittlin <sara.gittlin@gmail.com>]

Hello ,
I'm running pktgen on a ubuntu-16.0p4 VM w 3 CPU's,
I added  2 SRIOV VFs  devices to the VM - and i can see them w lspci or
dpdk-devbind --status
00:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection X552
Virtual Function
00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection X552
Virtual Function

When i run pktgen :
sudo  ./app/x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/pktgen  -l 0-2 -n 4 --proc-type auto
--socket-mem 256 -b 00:08.0 -b 00:09.0 \--file-prefix pg \-- -P -m "1.0,
2.1"
i get this error :
!PANIC!: *** Did not find any ports to use ***
PANIC in pktgen_config_ports():
*** Did not find any ports to use ***6:

i see also this msg during startup : EAL: PCI device 0000:00:08.0 on NUMA
socket -1
