Subject: [dpdk-dev] DPDK 1.6 and Cisco VIC-NIC pmd fails to initialize with VMWare ESX 5.5
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2015 03:33:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BY1PR03MB1338A57773D5EAAE8BBAD00DB31B0@BY1PR03MB1338.namprd03.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Hello All,
I am trying some experiments with DPDK 1.6 and Cisco NIC - (0000:06:00.0 Network controller: Cisco Systems Inc. Cisco VIC Ethernet NIC [vmnic0]), on the guest I am using VMXNET3 as interface/pmd and one weird behavior that is see is with VMWare ESX 5.5 DPDK is not able to initialize the NIC and I get the error rte_eth_dev_start failed with error code as, but same NIC and with DPDK 1.6 version works fine with VMWare ESX 6.0 and with VMXNET3 PMD.
Two questions:
1. Is there any dependency with VMWare version ESX (5.0/5.1/6.0) with DPDK Release version (1.6/1.7/2.x)? If yes can you please let me know?
2. If we are not using the NIC in pass-through mode and we are using it via Hypervisor - vmxnet3 or virtio pmd is there still a dependency for the list of NIC's supported by DPDK?
Regards
Suyash
