Hardware and Performance / Virtualized opnsense: SR-IOV VF support questions
« on: August 31, 2018, 06:10:58 pm »
Is anyone passing an SR-IOV VF to an opnsense guest successfully? I've been researching nic drivers for a few days now and there's not a lot of info online about what actually works. This is really a FreeBSD nic driver issue, I'm just hoping someone here has done this and can relay their experience.
I've got a few different cards in the mail from eBay sellers so I can test them myself but I'd really appreciate hearing about any experience that anyone else has had with this.
I'm targeting 10GbE adapters for my build -- I've already tested the mlx4 driver with CX-2 and CX-3 cards that I have on hand and I've had some success using VFs with the mlx4 driver in FreeBSD 12 but FreeBSD 11 is a complete no-go.
I understand Chelsio and Intel are the most supported, has anyone used these with SR-IOV?
