Cannot enable NIC mode in Bluefield 2 DPU

I am following the steps provided in the docs to enable NIC mode, and there are no errors while I follow the steps, but after reboot, the BF2 DPU is not in NIC mode. I also noticed that while rebooting the x86-host, the DPU stays on.

Hi pateltirth,

Welcome, and thanks for posting your inquiry to the NVIDIA Developer Forums.

After configuring NIC mode, either a Bluefield system-level reset or a full power cycle of the host is required:
https://docs.nvidia.com/doca/sdk/nvidia+bluefield+reset+and+reboot+procedures/index.html#src-3032251690_id-.NVIDIABlueFieldResetandRebootProceduresv2.8.0-BlueFieldSystem-levelReset

If a system-level reset does not function, please perform a full power cycle of the host.

If this still does not resolve your issue, and you have valid support entitlement for this adapter, please do open a ticket with NVIDIA Enterprise Experience. We’ll be happy to assist.

Thanks, and best regards,
NVIDIA Enterprise Experience
