1.3. launch¶
Launch secondary process.
Spp_primary is able to launch a secondary process with given type, secondary ID and options of EAL and application itself. This is a list of supported type of secondary processes.
- nfv
- vf
- mirror
- pcap
# spp_nfv with sec ID 1
spp > pri; launch nfv 1 -l 1,2 -m 512 -- -n -s 192.168.1.100:6666
# spp_vf with sec ID 2
spp > pri; launch vf 2 -l 1,3-5 -m 512 -- --client-id -s 192.168.1.100:6666
You notice that --proc-type secondary
is not given for launching secondary
processes. launch
command adds this option before requesting to launch
the process so that you do not need to input this option by yourself.
launch
command supports TAB completion for type, secondary ID and the rest
of options. Some of EAL and application options are just a template, so you
should edit them before launching. Some of default params of options,
for instance, the number of lcores or the amount of memory, are changed from
config
command of Common Commands.
In terms of log, each of secondary processes are output its log messages to
files under log
directory of project root. The name of log file is defined
with type of process and secondary ID. For instance, nfv 2
, the path of log
file is log/spp_nfv-2.log
.
