Vagrant Development Environment

Introduction

Vagrant provides a quick way to get a basic NVMe enabled virtual machine sandbox running without the need for any special hardware. The Vagrant environment for SPDK has support for a variety of Linux distributions as well as FreeBSD. Run scripts/vagrant/create_vbox.sh -h to see the complete list. This environment requires Vagrant 1.9.4 or newer and VirtualBox 5.1 or newer with the matching VirtualBox extension pack.

Note: If you are behind a corporate firewall, set http_proxy and https_proxy in your environment before trying to start up the VM. Also make sure that you have installed the optional vagrant module vagrant-proxyconf:

export http_proxy=...
export https_proxy=...
vagrant plugin install vagrant-proxyconf

In case you want use kvm/libvirt you should also install vagrant-libvirt

VM Configuration

To create a configured VM with vagrant you need to run create_vbox.sh script.

Basically, the script will create a new sub-directory based on distribution you choose, copy the vagrant configuration file (a.k.a. Vagrantfile) to it, and run vagrant up with some settings defined by the script arguments.

By default, the VM created is configured with:

• 2 vCPUs
• 4G of RAM
• 2 NICs (1 x NAT - host access, 1 x private network)

In order to modify some advanced settings like provisioning and rsyncing, you may want to change Vagrantfile source.

For additional support, use the Vagrant help function to learn how to destroy, restart, etc. Further below is sample output from a successful VM launch and execution of the NVMe hello world example application.

    vagrant --help

Running An Example

The following shows sample output from starting up a Ubuntu18 VM, compiling SPDK on it and running the NVMe sample application hello_world. If you don't see the NVMe device as seen below in both the lspci output as well as the application output, you likely have a VirtualBox and/or Vagrant versioning issue.

  SUCCESS!

  cd to ubuntu18 and type "vagrant ssh" to use.
  Use vagrant "suspend" and vagrant "resume" to stop and start.
  Use vagrant "destroy" followed by "rm -rf ubuntu18" to destroy all trace of vm.

Check the enviroment.
