From arlin.r.davis at intel.com Thu Jan 3 10:46:18 2019 From: arlin.r.davis at intel.com (Davis, Arlin R) Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2019 18:46:18 +0000 Subject: [Tutorial-working-group] Oracle VirtualBox with Ubuntu 18.10 and softRoCE Message-ID: <54347E5A035A054EAE9D05927FB467F9B6AEFB60@ORSMSX101.amr.corp.intel.com> All, I had one of my developers give it a quick try on an Intel build laptop (Windows 10 Enterprise). Initial testing with rxe looked fine with both Ubuntu 18.10 (4.18) and 18.04.1 (4.15). The verbs tests worked on both but we did see some issues with libfabric-verbs on 18.10 using fi_pingpong. Note: any VM will need Hyper-V disabled to run. At Intel it required IT to disable on our laptop builds. Here is a BKM from my developer for reference: create 2 drives each 10G to mount to / and /home set up network/firefox proxies (if needed) set root passwd just in case set NOPASSWD: in sudoers set Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy_server:port"; and Acquire::https::Proxy "https://proxy_server:port"; in a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ file sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade #--- if you want to build your own kernel but not needed with ubuntu 18.04.1 sudo apt install -y git make gcc bison flex libelf-dev libssl.dev git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git cd linux git reset --hard v4.19 (or latest stable tag) cp /boot/config* .confg make && sudo make modules_install install reboot #---- sudo apt install -y rdmacm-utils librdmacm-dev libibverbs-dev ibverbs-utils sudo apt install -y perftest rdma-core libfabrics-dev libfabric1 sudo modprobe rdma_rxe sudo rxe_cfg add enp0s3 #or whatever the Ethernet device name is server client ib_read_bw ib_read_bw localhost fi_pingpong -p verbs -e rdm fi_pingpong -p verbs -e rdm localhost -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
