[Starlingx-discuss] DUPLEX: PXE Image does not include the ixgbevf
Hi, I just installed the image from 2019-03-25 and trying to install and configure the controller-1. It seems like that the PXEimage does not include the Intel driver ixgbevf. Is this intended and what is the recommended procedure to get this module into the pxe image? Thanks Marcel
Hi Marcel, Yes, ixgbevf driver is not included in PXE image. Do we need virtual function support during PXE boot stage? If so, we could add VF drivers to PXE image. To add the driver to pxe image, we need modify update-pxe-network-installer script in cgcs-root/build-tools. And follow the build instruction in below Wiki to generate the new pxe image. https://docs.starlingx.io/developer_guide/latest/index.html Best Regards Shuicheng -----Original Message----- From: Marcel Schaible [mailto:marcel@schaible-consulting.de] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2019 10:51 PM To: starlingx-discuss@lists.starlingx.io Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] DUPLEX: PXE Image does not include the ixgbevf Hi, I just installed the image from 2019-03-25 and trying to install and configure the controller-1.

Hi Shuicheng, thanks fpr your help. We are using an Artesyn Maxcore box and need the VF drivers for booting our controller-1. For my understanding: After the the controller-1 has booted from PXE and is getting configured via controller-0, are the VF drivers then loaded? Thanks Marcel

Hi Marcel, Yes the ixgbevf driver is included in the host iso, but not in the installer image as you've discovered. As Shuicheng points out, it can be added. Can you include the driver based on Shuicheng's instructions and verify that it is working on your system? Once confirmed, you can open a Story in storyboard to have the change pushed to the master branch. https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project_group/86 Thanks, Ghada -----Original Message----- From: Marcel Schaible [mailto:marcel@schaible-consulting.de] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2019 9:25 AM To: Lin, Shuicheng; starlingx-discuss@lists.starlingx.io Subject: Re: [Starlingx-discuss] DUPLEX: PXE Image does not include the ixgbevf Hi Shuicheng, thanks fpr your help.

Hello Marcel, StarlingX does not currently package and load VF drivers on the host. SRIOV interfaces that are managed by StarlingX are currently only consumed by the guest VM instances, and therefore the drivers are not required on the host for the physical devices managed by system inventory.
