Hi @Eoghan1232, thanks for the PR! last question what is the use-case for RDMA with intel? for mlx we need this for DPDK for example. |
Hi @SchSeba !
This is for enablement for use cases such as kernel based networking (as opposed to user space/DPDK). The use case is consistent enablement of hardware offload features available on Intel Network Adapters |
this is weird what version of the device plugin you use? |
I am currently running an older version of DP on my system, not the latest. |
that will be great I will like to see the RDMA mount points that we mount into the pod |
|
|
||
## RDMA modules: | ||
* Mellanox ConnectX®-4 Lx, ConnectX®-5 Adapters mlx5_core or mlx5_ib | ||
* Intel E810-C Adapter ice and iavf | ||
|
||
## Privileges | ||
IPC_LOCK capability privilege is required for RMA application to function properly in Kubernetes Pod. |

under Rdma Mounts sectrion, can you add a note:
Note: rdma character devices mounted under
/dev/infiniband
may vary depending on the vendor and loaded kernel modules.
and while at it, if you can also remove the line:
The digit after the file name is the index of the VF
it would be great, as these numbers are just a "char device index" which gets incremented as new devices added, its not correlated to VF inde
