[dpdk-dev] [Bug 826] red_autotest random failures

[Danilewicz, MarcinX]

Hi Brandon,

It looks like I am searching for some local script/s to generate VM? Or something for VM..?

It started from this message:
Step 11/12 : COPY scripts /scripts
COPY failed: file not found in build context or excluded by .dockerignore: stat scripts: file does not exist

I'll start searching for this, but perhaps you can enlighten me what is that and where it may be found. If possible 😊


Kind Regards,
/Marcin

Hi Brandon,

I'll will look into this config file to see what I can do about it 😊


" a specific amount of resources (4GB RAM, 2 cores) to each container, so that can be another factor that affects the frequency of these failures.

If this issue seems too dependent on the current system load and other situational factors, it might be good to think about running the red_autotest separate from other tests in the lab so it does not have to compete for resources.
Any thoughts on this?"

CPU family might be important, from CPU features perspective.  Previously some throughput  tests I was executing using two different machines (different core families) to get correct (expected) results. Perhaps nothing has changed since then.

I'll let you know about my findings with that docker based installation.


Kind Regards,
/Marcin
