What does the Sniffer10G run-time error message "snf_ring_open failed: Device or resource busy" indicate?

The run-time error message:

snf_ring_open failed: Device or resource busy

most often is an indication of trying to open Sniffer10G with more than SNF_NUM_RING instances.

The maximum number of rings (SNF_NUM_RINGS) supported by Sniffer10G is 32 per adapter port. For more details, please read What is the maximum number of rings supported by Sniffer10G?

If you have verified with myri_endpoint_info that you are not exceeding 32 rings, perhaps there are some old/rogue processes already running? Could you please check to make sure that there are no other Sniffer10G processes running on your machine?
