I saw you enabled VT-D, how about VT-x in BIOS?

 

Another possibility is that your ethernet NIC is not compatible with OVS/DPDK.

Please follow these steps, to dig out more info

  1. lock your compute-node
  2. ssh to your compute-node and check OVS/DPDK status by “sudo ovs-vsctl show” and “python /usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/dpdk-devbind.py --status”

Hi Yong,

 

I checked server BIOS setting Intel VT-D is enabled in my compute machine

compute machine is rebooting only after unlocking, Before reboot it came in unlocked, enabled & online.

 

Please suggest how can i debug this.

 

Many Thanks,

Intel_iommu=on and immmu are for PCI PT and SR-IOV, as far as I know.

There are other 2, like VT-x and VT-d flags, to be enabled. Please have a look in BIOS.
