Why this messages occur?

net_mlx5: can not get IB device “mlx5_0” ports number

Why is the above message displayed because the port count is recognized as 0?

I want to prevent this warning message from printing. Is there any way?

4.7.1.0.0.1 OFED is installed and two Connect X-5s are connected.

Hi Samer,

I tried the latest versions of dpdk-19.08 and 19.05, both of which produced the same message.

I I uploaded the OFED version on its own optimized OS based centos7.2. I get this message, but it works fine.

Below is the message that occurs.

Hi Kim,

Which OS are you using ?

Is this bare-metal or VM ?

Can you share full output with the “net_mlx5: can not get IB device “mlx5_0” ports number” ?

Thanks,

Samer

Try to use few LTS DPDK releases and see if it happens with specific one. Check a master branch as well.

Hi Kim,

As suggested please try different DPDK version (latest GA) and check if you encounter the same

behavior .

Thanks,

Samer
