Unable to start SMF in L25GC

[Shixiong Qi]

Hi @YouSheng and @Poyi,

@Zeying tried to reproduce the artifact from the L25GC paper. But she encountered an error when starting SMF in the control plane.

There is a missed flag when executing go.sh. This is most likely a problem with OpenNetVM. I've attached a screenshot she shared earlier.

Can you both coordinate with @Zeying to check the cause of this error?

Thanks,

Shixiong

Hi, 

this problem does occur once in a while, re-run SMF will solve the problem, or you could force kill L25GC and re-run it all together. We will try to figure out what is the reason for that error.

Hi Lin,

I force killed L25GC entirely and re-run many times. It still shows this parameter input error. I tried on two testbeds, but both of them are Mellanox NICs instead of Intel ones. I'm not sure whether it's the reason for me. Also, could you provide how to re-run SMF solely?

Thanks,

Zeying

Sorry for my silly question. I can re-run SMF with "sudo ./smf" but the parameter error issue is the same.
