Hi. I am using a 2 port 10Gb Ethernet card in a server running XenServer 6.2.0:
42:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599EB 10-Gigabit SFP+ Network
Connection (rev 01)42:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599EB
10-Gigabit SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
I have assigned one of the Virtual Function to a CentOS 6.5 VM, and the other
VF to a FreeBSD 10.0 VM.(Both 64 bit OSes).
I can not get the FreeBSD 10.0 VM to be able to do any networking with this
port. It can not ping eitherthe Dom_0, or the CentOS VM. (Centos 6.5 VM works
fine).
The virtual port is recognized by both VMs. Everything looks fine on FreeBSD
10.0 VM, but there is no traffic in or out. (I am ignoring pinging the IP
address by the VM itself, as it is just a loopback).
I have also compiled the kernel with Intel's ixgbe code (with a couple of
compilation fixes), with no better luck.
Questions:
1. Is FreeBSD supported as a VM for this card, please? The driver in 10.0 looks
current, with release numbers matching Intel's latest.
2. Is this an operator (my setup) error? Any pointers that you could give me?
Any help/comments would be appreciated.
Thank you,
