Is there a way to capture packets on an SR-IOV VF from the hypervisor?
Issue
While troubleshooting network connectivity on an VM's SR-IOV interface, the following circumstances prevent running tests from within the VM:
- No password or SSH key available to log in
- VM is a custom VNF packaged without necessary troubleshooting tools
Can we capture packets on the SR-IOV device's Virtual Function from the hypervisor?
