[Qemu-devel] Qemu NVME ubuntu 16.04 setup problems

[Gadre Nayan]

Hi,

I am trying to test SPDK on a Virtual Machine with NVME support. I do not
have NVME cards on the Host hence wanted to simulate the Hardware, I have
install nvmeqemu (https://github.com/nvmeqemu/nvmeqemu) for that purpose.


I installed Ubuntu 16.04 server on this, however when I use the "-smp 2"
options for qemu the VM boots but becomes unresponsive after some time, I
require the smp 2 switch because dpdk requires atleast 2 cores I guess for
compilation ( I got errors regarding some in-lining issues when I tried to
install dpdk with just 1 core.)

So Has anyone tried working on getting this setup up and running.

Please suggest.
Thanks
Nayan Gadre.

That repo hasn't been updated since 2012.  NVMe support has been
available in upstream QEMU since 2013.

Please try using a modern QEMU.
