Hi I am having 2 VMs on my host. VM1 is running my application with dpdk2.2.0 without any issues and i am using VM2 for dpdk17.05 for the same application. But newer version of dpdk (dpdk 17.05 ) needs NIC's firmware upgrade for SR-IOV Nics.
If i upgrade firmware, will it create any trouble for VM1(which is running without any issues) or firmware upgrade will have the backward compatibility? NIC: Physical nic Intel X710/XL710 10GbE SFP+ current version:1.3.45 latest version:1.4.28 Host:VMware 5.5.0 and Please let me know what all the things i have to consider before going for NIC firmware upgrade. -- Thanks Sakthivel S OM
