Hello Neale, I’m happy to work with you directly on this to get you past any hurdles if you would like, my e-mail is tom.nabarro@.... The TRANSIENT_FAILURE does indicate some local network relat

I think getting the most basic configuration working is probably the best way forward given that dmg is not connecting, try with an empty config file (discovery mode) on a single host and on that same

Hello Neale, First of all is there any chance you can try using a more recent version, 1.1.3 for example. How are you launching daos_server? Using the start command directly from the commandline or sy

If NVMe is not required then try setting "nr_hugepages: 0" in the global section of the server configuration file. Regards, Tom

Hello Alistair, Just a follow-on from Kris' response. If your system is NUMA-aware then you can use "dmg config generate -l <hostname> -a <hostname>" to auto generate a recommended config file. Ranks

Given a host set with homogenous hardware configuration it should now be possible to generate an optimal server configuration file for DAOS using the command ‘dmg config generate’, more details are in

We have recently learned of a serious issue affecting systems with Apache Pass DCPM modules. The ipmctl utility (versions 02.00.00.3809 through 02.00.00.3816) was released with a bug that can cause th

I realise that the problem is the bdev_exclude devices are already bound to UIO at the time that DAOS starts and are not actively unbound by SPDK setup script. 0000:00:04.1 (8086 2021): Already using

Hello Anton Doesn’t look like the bdev_exclude list is being honoured, I’m on leave today but will verify behavior on master tomorrow and supply fix if broken. Regards, Tom Nabarro – DCG/ESAD M: +44 (

I’m sorry I’m unfamiliar with the spdk rpc client, we manually parse the ini-style config file and directly call the SPDK configuration API all within src/bio/bio_xstream.c: bio_nvme_init(). Regards,

Yes, this is how we configure the build, thanks for the use case explanation. 293 commands=['./configure --prefix="$SPDK_PREFIX"' \ 294 ' --disable-tests --without-vhost --without-crypto' \ 295 ' --wi

In order to get DAOS up and running with NVMe-oF I think some internal changes in bio might be needed. Does the use of NVMe-oF provide specific benefits in a DAOS installation? Would like to understan

Hello Gert and Lee, https://github.com/daos-stack/daos/pull/3480 has been merged with master to fix this issue. dpdk (used as the default environment for spdk) is using weak symbols when linking: "dpd

Can now reproduce locally and working to find a solution.
