• Vagrant - A script tool for managing VirtualBox VMs.

Reference source code for building VM and SoftRoCE packages

Download and unzip the rdma-experiment source code to directory "rdma-experiment-master".

Vagrant script for building two VMs

Original Vagrant script only builds one SoftRoCE VM.
Edit the file "Vagrantfile" under directory "rdma-experiment-master" to build two SoftRoCE VMs.

# Build SoftRoCE Server and SoftRoCE Client
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
    
  config.vm.define "softroce_server" do |softroce_server|    
    softroce_server.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"
    softroce_server.vm.network "private_network", type: "dhcp"
    softroce_server.vm.provision "shell", path: "provision/setup-vm.sh"    
  end
  
  config.vm.define "softroce_client" do |softroce_client|    
    softroce_client.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"
    softroce_client.vm.network "private_network", type: "dhcp"
    softroce_client.vm.provision "shell", path: "provision/setup-vm.sh"    
  end
  
end

Run Vagrant script to build SoftRoCE Server VM and SoftRoCE Client VM

cd rdma-experiment-master
vagrant up

The command "vagrant up" will take a lot of time to build two SoftRoCE VMs.

SSH login SoftRoCE Server VM

vagrant ssh softroce_server

SSH login SoftRoCE Client VM

vagrant ssh softroce_client
