Hi,
I have attached two 10G NICs to VM as pass-through devices and I?m trying to run testpmd on the VM. I have assigned 4GB RAM and 2 cores to the VM. /DPDK22/testpmd -c 0x3 -n 2 -d /DPDK22/librte_pmd_oce.so -w $P0 -w $P1 -- -i --nb-cores=1 --nb-ports=2 Where P0 and P1 are the PCI IDs of the two NIC ports. Below is the complete testpmd app output: EAL: Detected lcore 0 as core 0 on socket 0 EAL: Detected lcore 1 as core 0 on socket 0 EAL: Support maximum 128 logical core(s) by configuration. EAL: Detected 2 lcore(s) EAL: VFIO modules not all loaded, skip VFIO support... EAL: Setting up physically contiguous memory...
