Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

VPP commit fail message is not clear for max-map-count option

set system option kernel disable-mitigations
set system option kernel memory hugepage-size 2M hugepage-count '3072'
set vpp settings interface eth1 driver 'dpdk'
set vpp settings memory main-heap-size '4G'

commit:

vyos@r14# commit
[ vpp ]
The max_map_count must be greater than or equal to (2 * HugePages_Total)
[[vpp]] failed
Commit failed
[edit]
vyos@r14#

The option could be found under

set vpp settings host-resources max-map-count xxx

But it is not clear for a user.
And probably it is a good idea to mention this and show the current value.

It is not clear what max_map_count is and where it should be configured.
Not sure if it is a bug or a feature.
