Wind River Support Network

Description

The command "ip link set hsxe0 vf 1 state disable" is unable to bring a VF down on X552 (customer board) (ixgbe) NIC. The error says "RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported".

The same command works fine on X722 (i40e) NIC.

Steps to Reproduce

 

$ ./wrlinux-x/setup.sh --distros wrlinux-ovp --machines intel-x86-64 --templates feature/initramfs,feature/kdump,feature/kexec,feature/sysklogd,feature/dpdk,feature/package-management --all-layers --dl-layers
$ . ./environment-setup-x86_64-wrlinuxsdk-linux && . ./oe-init-build-env
$ bitbake wrlinux-image-ovp-kvm

Using Board 22504 :
