I have experience with the Solaris driver, but not Illumos, so I won't be able
to assist in any debug since the implementations differ too much, but I am
familiar with the interfaces and can say that in the official i40e Solaris
driver we've always used VMDq2 VSIs for the non-default ring
Before you start complaining about what the driver is or isn't doing
you should probably understand that both the Linux and FreeBSD drivers
do have to create a PF VSI as that is the default VSI type if I am not
mistaken. Do you know what the goal is in creating multiple PF VSIs? I
don't see the
As I said, a supported OS (Linux and FreeBSD?) does not create the kind of VSI
(PF VSI) in its i40e driver, are you asking me to test nothing on your
supported OS?
"Intel(r) Ethernet Controller X710/ XXV710/XL710 Datasheet" claims it supports
PF VSIs, so why would you say it is not supported?
You can try official channels but you're just going to get an official "Talk to
Illuminos" from me.
As I said, you can try installing a supported OS to see if it's a hardware
issue, but we have no support for Illuminos.

This mailing list seems quite quiet. Any hope my issue could get some
attention? If it is a thing of 'Only Linux and FreeBSD are supported', is there
any other communication channel through which this issue can be escalated?
Thanks a lot for your understanding.
