Hello. I have some mellanox (ConnectX-2 ?) cards (MT26428) does it possible to use it with dpdk? Why dpdk supports only X-4 and X-5 cards? Thanks! -- Vasiliy Tolstov, e-mail: v.tolstov@selfip.ru
Vasily, ConnectX-2 is very, very old card. We don't support it. You can run DPDK on ConnectX-3 Pro, ConnectX-4 /LX and ConnectX-5 NICs. The best performance and better feature set you will get with ConnectX-5 Best Regards, Olga ------------------------------------------------------- Olga Shern SW Sr. Director DPDK Mellanox Technologies, Raanana, Israel -----Original Message----- From: dev [mailto:dev-bounces@dpdk.org] On Behalf Of Vasiliy Tolstov Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2018 2:01 AM To: dev@dpdk.org Subject: [dpdk-dev] mellanox connectx-2 support Hello.

You can use rdma over Ethernet, AKA ROCE Mellanox PMDs don't need vfio I am not sure what you are trying to achieve, you want to run DPDK on Infiniband? -----Original Message----- From: Vasiliy Tolstov [mailto:v.tolstov@selfip.ru] Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2018 12:10 AM To: Adrien Mazarguil <adrien.mazarguil@6wind.com> Cc: Василий Толстов <v.tolstov@selfip.ru>; Olga Shern <olgas@mellanox.com>; dev@dpdk.org Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] mellanox connectx-2 support пн, 21 мая 2018 г. в 12:15, Adrien Mazarguil <adrien.mazarguil@6wind.com>: > On Sun, May 20, 2018 at 10:25:01PM +0300, Vasiliy Tolstov wrote: > > чт, 17 мая 2018 г. в 9:02, Olga Shern <olgas@mellanox.com>: > > > > > Vasily, > > > > > > ConnectX-2 is very, very old card. > > > We don't support it. > > > You can run DPDK on ConnectX-3 Pro, ConnectX-4 /LX and ConnectX-5 NICs. > > > The best performance and better feature set you will get with ConnectX-5 > > > > > > Best Regards, > > > > > > > Thanks for info, web page says about connect-x3 (without pro) If i > > have > > Connect-X3 vpi does it works with intel dpdk mellanox driver? > Probably, provided both an up-to-date firmware version and that ports accept > Ethernet mode configuration [1]. > [1] > https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdpdk > .org%2Fdoc%2Fguides%2Fnics%2Fmlx4.html%23quick-start-guide&data=02%7C0 > 1%7Colgas%40mellanox.com%7C01c4e02666044c162d9a08d5bf5f4090%7Ca652971c > 7d2e4d9ba6a4d149256f461b%7C0%7C0%7C636625338186508009&sdata=doQaWNjEiS > RhR28TmbS8iGB22oGfnl%2BDVm78fw%2FJTMQ%3D&reserved=0 =( Bad news, i need to use rdma to transfer storage traffic and not want to change ports to ethernet.
