I want to deploy a VNF on a NFX. The network config is like this:
- ge-0/0/0 is trunk with 3 VLANs
- 2 VLANs goes to sxe-0/0/0
- 1 VLAN goes to sxe-0/0/1
- No interface mapping, no SR-IOV
- The VNF has 2 productive interfaces (eth2 and eth3)
If I start this VNF, the ovsbridge interfaces are down, there is no traffic visible, nor the NVF can be requested. I read hints to enable hugepages. If I enable them, I get the following error:
Could not start VNF Test1: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2024-04-26T11:04:10.915754Z kvm: -object memory-backend-file,id=ram-node0,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/dev/huge1G/libvirt/qemu,share=yes,size=4194304000: unable to map bac
Does someone know, if I really need hugepages for OVS and VLAN mapping? If yes, how do I solve this issue? Why are these interfaces down?
