Hi expert,
I have deployed a VIO 3.0 environment based on DVS. I want to use SR-IOV VF (intel 82599) to improve the network performance.
Currently the VM had already boot up, and the VF driver was loaded successfully. from the vsphere, I can see the VF occupying with command "esxcli network sriovnic vf list".
After I configured the IP address on the interface, it can't reach other servers, no matter the other server is located on the same host or not.
I captured the packets on the physical switch, and found out that the VM with VF could send the ARP request out, and other server had response the ARP reply,
but the VM could not receive the ARP reply.
And I also captured the packets on virtual switch's uplink interface. If the another server which located on the same host, the ARP reply packets could be captured on uplink interface;
but if another server which located on the different host, the ARP reply packets couldn't be captured.
I have been in puzzled for a long time...... Could anyone give some advice? Any help would be appreciated!
Haifeng.
