That's really great.
Can you also ask Intel about what is the real difference between 15x1 vs 15x8, the REAL one.
If I went with the highly available 1541, am I for example sacrificing network DPDK performance?
While seeing OpenSSL charts, can't help but wonder why 1518 is not kicking 1520 in the nuts?
I thought 15x8 parts are supposed to be specifically optimized for such operation.
Why would I pick a more expensive 15x8 if it performs, somehow, similarly to its 15x1 counterpart?
Just saw the amazingly packed X10SDV-7TP8F listed for $2,417.09
A well deserved price for a motherboard that "almost" made a dual E5v3 irrelevant ... almost...
Amazing...
I think you might want to have a look at Cisco's WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S switch.
8 ports downlink: 6xGbE(PoE+) and 2xMultiGbE(PoE+)
2 ports uplink: 2xSFP+
For more ports, You might also combine this one with another cheap 48xGbE switch and save money.
Be careful ! They are "4Rx4".
In Xeon-D, you have 4 slots connected to 2 channels. Each channel has a max of 4 ranks.
These memory sticks are 4 ranks, which means you can install 1 per channel, which means you can install only 2 of them. ( =64GB )
If you want to be able to install 4 ( =128GB...
If D15x1 is for storage, D15x8 is for network, then D15x7 is for what?
Edit: Just saw an Intel slide from another site; D15x7 are in the same category as D15x8, not D15x1.
So, D15x7 are also network optimized.
Can't say I'm 100% sure about this but:
1- To bring a VF up, its PF has to be connected to something.
2- You can't send traffic from VF to another VF located in another PF without driver modifications.
@EluRex:
I wish I can give you more likes.
You are the first one on the INTERNET to actually and properly test SR-IOV on Xeon-D
Please keep this stream of info coming.
@everyone:
Some weird things on ASRock D1540D4I-2L2T specifications:
and
Edit: You can also spot M.2 in the motherboard...
Thanks Paul.
Indeed, I removed the question because I saw somewhere BIOS 1.0b has fixed the issue.
Not sure where though.
Also a side question: x557 is useless in ESXi, but this motherboard has two i350 ports.
So are these two i350 ports dependent on each other? In other words, can you...
What?
This official document says x557 supports SR-IOV
Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 Product Family Datasheet, Vol. 4
Also the latest additions to Intel's open source drivers mentions SR-IOV
Are you talking about bridging where you would bridge VFs together?
Maybe I'm missing something?
A question For those having the new 10G NIC x552/x557:
According to Intel slides, those 10G NICs support DCB. However, there is no mention of FCoE in it.
So, do they it support FCoE? ( for example, you can boot a PC with x520 NIC or x540 NIC from FCoE)?
You can see the following PDF from Intel...
Interesting, Kal G.
This motherboard gets interesting each day.
Can you pass-through these 8x cards slots "individually" or you have to pass the whole thing?
Hello Patrick.
Can you do us a favor by showing us - ESXi nesters - this window:
http://www.servethehome.com/configure-passthrough-vmdirectpath-vmware-esxi-raid-hba-usb-drive/
We would like to know what's passthrough-able and what's not! Who depends on who?
And of course some SR-IOV juice...
