Hello. I am trying to get testpmd up and running in a RHEL 7.4 guest (DPDK 17.08), however, I am unable to get my interface to bind to a dpdk compatible driver.
[root@localhost ~]# dpdk-devbind --status Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver ============================================ <none> Network devices using kernel driver =================================== 0000:00:03.0 'Virtio network device' if=eth0 drv=virtio-pci unused=virtio_pci,vfio-pci *Active* 0000:00:05.0 '82599 Ethernet Controller Virtual Function' if=eth1 drv=ixgbevf unused=vfio-pci *Active* I am trying to bind the vfio-pci driver (not igb_uio - which I read was deprecated). I am running into the following error. [root@testpmd-vm ~]# dpdk_nic_bind --bind=vfio-pci 0000:00:05.0 Error: bind failed for 0000:00:05.0 - Cannot bind to driver vfio-pci Has anyone seen this before? Can someone confirm that I am attempting to bind correctly?
