psarria: Okay, so varpd barfs-and-exits on file-format-error. AND the "files" plugin does no FMA interactions of any kind.

The files/ plugin could probably use a little love.

Sorry I can't be of more immediate assistance.

danmcd, i understand, thanks a lot for your time

Are SR-IOV virtualization features available for virtualization on Mellanox drivers and CX4 cards?

No.

The mlxcx(4D) driver in illumos doesn't support SR-IOV. There was a discussion about this on #illumos recently.

See here: log.omnios.org/illumos/2024-02-05

danmcd, ok

hi, want to build a new smartos server - currently have an old XEON E3-1231v3 ; AMD is still not supported correct? Are the rocketlake Xeons okay? I was thinking about getting one of these supermicro towers from microcenter that have E-2356G cpus in them ...

the motherboard / system is a supermicro sys-530t-i which has the Intel I210-AT 1GbE ports. As long as they and the cpu work I'll be happy to no longer be constrained to 32GB of memory

Pretty sure AMD is supported.

now that i re-read the hardware-reqs page and I think i get it. AMD is supported but non-EPT support on AMD is what is limited. thanks.
