Hi StarlingX Team :

              

               Regarding upgrade qat driver to latest version for CentOS 7.6. After the successful QAT transplant,

we found that the current STX Temporarily unable to achieve perfect device passthrough operation.

Through continuous trials, we have found a way to achieve device passthrough method.

we hope to be able to help with the current device Passthrough test task..

Currently updated in Ricardo's documentation. Welcome your review.

Hi super StarlingX team,

 

In the following document, you can find the progress about QAT + StarlingX validation in a 2+2 system.

 

Overall, some blockers that we have been facing to get more progress is the stability of the latest ISOs. However, we have at least executed 4 successfully test cases:

 

QAT_StarlingX_001

Verify that QAT PCIe module doesn't generate any StarlingX installation issue

QAT_StarlingX_002

Verify that QAT module can be listed via lsmod

QAT_StarlingX_003

Verify that QAT driver / service is up and running

QAT_StarlingX_004

Verify newly added system inventory commands to support crypto device

 

For all the details about the remaining test cases, expected coverage, and results, please take a look here:

Also feel free to add any comment / input related to such tests that you might consider important to improve them.

 

Thanks in advance
