Hi Jasvinder,
I was facing similar issue with Cx-7 and it appears that the issue is related
to the network namespace.
By configuring the Pod/container to use the "host's network namespace," the
issue is effectively resolved.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Folks,
I am trying to run dpdk-testpmd in a container with NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NIC card
on the system and facing issue described below. Details on the system setup are
as follow-
Host Configuration for OFED and CX7:
Nvidia CX7 is configured to use Ethernet as opposed to InfiniBand with the
following steps:
OFED driver installation:
./mlnxofedinstall --without-dkms --add-kernel-support --kernel 6.8.0-51-generic
--without-fw-update --force
Configuration:
mlxconfig -d /dev/mst/mt4129_pciconf0 set LINK_TYPE_P1=2
mlxconfig -d /dev/mst/mt4129_pciconf1 set LINK_TYPE_P1=2
SRIOV has been also enabled on the NIC.
The above configuration resulted in successfully deploying dpdk-testpmd on
virtual functions on the host.
Container Configuration for OFED:
Ubuntu 22.04 used within container.
# Install mlnx OFED Drivers
RUN wget

&& tar -xvf MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.07-0.6.1.0-ubuntu24.04-x86_64.tgz \
&& cd MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.07-0.6.1.0-ubuntu24.04-x86_64 \
&& ./mlnxofedinstall --force --without-fw-update --dpdk --upstream-libs
