i40e: sriov directory is not found in sysfs
Issue
- Why there is no
/sys/class/net/<interface-name>/device/sriov/directory in RHEL server ? - While enabling port_mirroring for VFs,
/sys/class/net/<interface-name>/device/sriov/directory doesn't exist. - We are trying to enable port mirroring from VF to another VF, using
echo add 1 > /sys/class/net/<interface-name>/device/sriov/0/ingress_mirror. However, we noticed that there is no such directory in our RHEL 8.5 server.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
- Intel 700-series NIC (X710, etc) using
i40edriver
