i40e: sriov directory is not found in sysfs

Solution Verified - Updated -

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 i40e driver
