Anyone managed to run Intel DPDK-based application in a virtual machine?
I have an application based on DPDK which I'm trying to bring up inside VirtualBox.
Intel mentions paravirtualized network interfaces in its documentation but I could not find any specific instructions related to virtual machine compatibility.
The application fails with the following error:
EAL: coremask set to 3 EAL: 0 hugepages of size 2097152 reserved, but no mounted hugetlbfs found for that size PANIC in rte_eal_init(): Cannot get hugepage information
回答1:
The drivers suitable for virtualization are:
- e1000
- igbvf
- ixgbevf
- virtio-net
- vmxnet3
In VirtualBox, you should first try with a basic e1000 device.
About your problem "no mounted hugetlbfs", you must do this:
mkdir -p /mnt/huge
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge
echo 64 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
You should refer to the quick start guide.
