bnx2x & SR-IOV

[madmin]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to activate SR-IOV on my "Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetXtreme II BCM57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet" PCI-e cards and, of course, I failed.

SR-IOV can be enabled very easily on the "Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GBASE-T" which reside on the motherboard.

Code: Select all

# find /sys/ -name sriov_numvfs
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.1/0000:03:00.0/sriov_numvfs
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.1/0000:03:00.1/sriov_numvfs

These two cards are the Intel ones.

It seems SR-IOV is activated in my kernel (today it's the 6.18.12-gentoo + ACS patch):

Code: Select all

  │ │           <M>     Broadcom NetXtremeII 10Gb support                                         │ │  
  │ │           [*]       Broadcom 578xx and 57712 SR-IOV support 

Maybe I have to understand https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-22.07/nics/bnx2x.html but I also failed here : )

Does anyone made this configuration works? Any clue(s) about what I shall read or do?

Best regards
