            <div>Hi Andrew,<br>
              <br>
            </div>
            Two of our systems (the Test Engine runner and the DUT host)
            are running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, however this morning I noticed
            that the tester system (the one having issues) is running
            Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.<br>
          </div>
          <div>This could be the source of the problem. I encountered a
            dependency issue trying to run the Test Engine on 22.04 LTS,
            so I downgraded the system. Since the tester is also the
            host having connection issues, I will try downgrading that
            system to 20.04, and see if that changes anything.<br>

      Unlikely, but who knows. We run tests (DUTs) on Ubuntu 20.04,

      Right now Debian 11 is used for test engine in nightly

                  I was able to replicate the same behavior again, where
                  it hangs while RCF is trying to start. <br>
                  Running this command, I see this in the output: <br>

                  0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      18599/ta <br>
                  <br>
                  So it seems like it is listening on the correct port.
                  <br>
                  Additionally, I was able to connect to the Tester
                  machine from our Test Engine host using telnet. It
                  printed the PID of the process once the connection was

                  <br>
                  I tried running the "ta" application manually on the

                  Maybe the issue is something on the Test Engine side.

                            Hi Adam, <br>
                    <br>
                            Yes, TE_RCFUNIX_TIMEOUT is in seconds. I've
                    double-checked <br>
                            that it goes to 'copy_timeout' in
                    ts-conf/rcf.conf. <br>
                            Description in in
                    doc/sphinx/pages/group_te_engine_rcf.rst <br>
                            says that copy_timeout is in seconds and
                    implementation in <br>
                            lib/rcfunix/rcfunix.c passes the value to
                    select() tv_sec. <br>
                            Theoretically select() could be interrupted
                    by signal, but I <br>
                            think it is unlikely here. <br>
                    <br>
                            I'm not sure that I understand what do you
                    mean by RCF <br>
                            connection timeout. Does it happen on TE
                    startup when RCF <br>
                            starts test agents. If so,
                    TE_RCFUNIX_TIMEOUT could help. Or <br>
                            does it happen when tests are in progress,
                    e.g. in the middle <br>
                            of a test. If so, TE_RCFUNIX_TIMEOUT is
                    unrelated and most <br>
                            likely either host with test agent dies or
                    test agent itself <br>
                            crashes. It would be easier for me if
                    classify it if you share <br>
                            text log (log.txt, full or just
                    corresponding fragment with <br>
                            some context). Also content of ta.DPDK or
                    ta.Peer file <br>
                            depending on which agent has problems could
                    shed some light. <br>
                            Corresponding files contain stdout/stderr of

                              machines. Neither seems to fix the issue.
                      <br>
                      <br>
                              It also seems like the timeout takes far
                      longer than 60 <br>
                              seconds, even when running "export
                      TE_RCFUNIX_TIMEOUT=60" <br>
                              before I try to run the test suite. <br>
                              I assume the unit for this variable is
                      seconds? <br>

                                              Greatings Adam, <br>
                          <br>
                                              I'm happy to hear that
                          you're trying to bring <br>
                                              it up. <br>
                          <br>
                                              As I understand the final
                          goal is to run it on <br>
                                              regular basis. So, we need
                          to make it properly <br>
                                              from the very beginning. <br>
                                              Bring up of all features
                          consists of 4 steps: <br>
                          <br>
                                              1. Create site-specific
                          repository (we call it <br>
                                              ts-rigs) which contains
                          information about test <br>
                                              rigs and other
                          site-specific information like <br>
                                              where to send mails, where
                          to store logs etc. <br>
                                              It is required for manual
                          execution as well, <br>
                                              since test rigs
                          description is essential. I'll <br>
                                              return to the topic below.
                          <br>
                          <br>
                                              2. Setup logs storage for
                          automated runs. <br>
                                              Basically it is a disk
                          space plus apache2 web <br>
                                              server with few CGI
                          scripts which help a lot to <br>
                                              save disk space. <br>
                          <br>
                                              3. Setup Bublik web
                          application which provides <br>
                                              web interface to view
                          testing results. Same as <br>

                            target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"><https://ts-factory.io/bublik></a>
                          <br>
                          <br>
                                              4. Setup Jenkins to run
                          tests on regularly, <br>
                                              save logs in log storage
                          (2) and import it to <br>
                                              bublik (3). <br>
                          <br>
                                              Last few month we spent on
                          our homework to make <br>
                                              it simpler to bring up
                          automated execution <br>
                                              using Jenkins - <br>

                                              Corresponding bits in
                          dpdk-ethdev-ts will be <br>
                                              available tomorrow. <br>
                          <br>
                                              Let's return to the step
                          (1). <br>
                          <br>
                                              Unfortunately there is no
                          publicly available <br>
                                              example of the ts-rigs
                          repository since <br>
                                              sensitive site-specific
                          information is located <br>
                                              there. But I'm ready to
                          help you to create it <br>
                                              for UNH. I see two options
                          here: <br>
                          <br>
                                              (A) I'll ask questions and
                          based on your <br>
                                              answers will create the
                          first draft with my <br>
                                              comments. <br>
                          <br>
                                              (B) I'll make a
                          template/example ts-rigs repo, <br>
                                              publish it and you'll
                          create UNH ts-rigs based <br>
                                              on it. <br>
                          <br>
                                              Of course, I'll help to
                          debug and finally bring <br>
                                              it up in any case. <br>
                          <br>
                                              (A) is a bit simpler for
                          me and you, but (B) is <br>
                                              a bit more generic and
                          will help other <br>
                                              potential users to bring
                          it up. <br>
                                              We can combine (A)+(B).
                          I.e. start from (A). <br>
                                              What do you think? <br>

                              for DPDK at the UNH lab. <br>
                              <br>
                                                  I have some questions

                              <br>
                              <br>
                                                  I have been able to
                              configure the Test Engine <br>
                                                  to connect to the
                              hosts in the testbed. The <br>
                                                  RCF, Configurator, and
                              Tester all begin to <br>
                                                  run, however the
                              prelude of the test suite <br>
                                                  fails to run. <br>

                              <br>
                              <br>
                                                  The documentation

                                                  several test
                              parameters for the test suite, <br>
                                                  like for the IUT test
                              link MAC, etc. These <br>
                                                  seem like they would

                              <br>
                                                  I see in the Test
                              Engine documentation, there <br>
                                                  are instructions on
                              how to create new <br>
                                                  parameters for test
                              suites in the Tester <br>
                                                  configuration, but
