Hi,
I’m trying to setup VFs using SRIOV on a ppc64le machine
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
$ uname -a
Linux p006n03 4.10.0-35-generic #39~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 13 08:59:44 UTC 2017 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
$ lspci | grep Mellanox
0000:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family [ConnectX-4]
0040:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family [ConnectX-4]
First i installed MLNX_OFED driver as per steps: https://community.mellanox.com/s/article/howto-install-mlnx-ofed-driver
Then i installed latest MFT (4.10.0) for ppc64le from here: Mellanox Firmware Tools (MFT) Mellanox Firmware Tools (MFT)
Running “mst start” subsequently fails however
$ sudo mst start
Starting MST (Mellanox Software Tools) driver set
Loading MST PCI module - Success

What could be the reason for this error?
I ultimately want to enable VFs on the CX4 as per steps here: https://community.mellanox.com/s/article/howto-configure-sr-iov-for-connectx-4-connectx-5-with-kvm--ethernet-x but cannot proceed due to this error
