[dpdk-users] VMXNET3 EAL error "Found no ports"

["Mehlhose, Matthias" <matthias.mehlhose@hhi.fraunhofer.de>]

Hi,

I'm looking for help with my setup

I bind VMXNET devices to DPDK vfio-pci driver.
But the Ettus UHD example benchmark app show EAL error "Found no ports".
What else can I check, to get this example app running
UHD-3.15.LTS + DPDK 17.10 within my ESXI VM.

Thanks
