1. I was able to get the SR-IOV on the host(Debian Wheezy) to show Virtual Functions following:
Mellanox OFED Driver Installation and Configuration for SR-IO
2. Then opened virt-manager and assigned one of the Virtual Functions.
3. Now in the guest(Debian Wheezy) by default mlx4_en driver is loaded and when executed lspci i get:
00:06.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3 Virtual Function]
4. ifconfig -a could not find the Mellanox network interface.
Following the above steps clearly says that I might need a driver for Virtual Functions to be exposed as a network interface on the guest side. Do any one know where can I find it?
Thanks.
