[dpdk-users] Failed to initialize one specific port of X710-DA4 in i40e pmd

[Aaron Hughes <hughesac@gmail.com>]

Hi Hitoshi,

Did you ever figure out a solution to your problem with the X710?  I'm
seeing the same problem with an XL710 using DPDK version 17.05 on Redhat
7.5:

validate_tcmap_parameter(): Enabled TC map 0x80 not applicable to HW
support 0x1
i40e_vsi_setup(): Failed to update TC bandwidth
i40e_pf_setup(): Setup of main vsi failed
eth_i40e_dev_init(): Failed to setup pf switch: -63

Thanks,
Aaron

I am facing a failure of dpdk(16.11.3) initialization with testpmd
