Hi,
I’m currently having a issue with my connect 4x card. It seems to only be using one queue, I tried to change the queue number with ethtool but it already is at 12
This is the model :
ConnectX-4 EDR +100GbE
Part Number: MCX456A ECAT
Do anyone have an idea on why is it only using one queue ? I can only reach something like 10gbps on my 100G link and only 1MPPS
Yours thankfully
Hello,
Please ensure that you have installed the latest firmware for the adapter, the latest MLNX_OFED driver compatible with the firmware.
The number of channels/queues available to configure will depend on the number of CPU cores in the system and the capabilities of the adapter itself.
When working with the ConnectX-4 adapters, there is also a specific syntax for enabling channels that will need to be used. For more information, please see “ethtool” section of the MLNX_OFED user manual, in particular:
https://docs.mellanox.com/display/MLNXOFEDv543030/Ethtool
ethtool -L eth [rx ] [tx ]
Sets the number of channels.
Notes:
For ConnectX-4 cards, use ethtool -L eth combined to set both RX and TX channels.
