I am migrating from using DPDK1.6r2 and the external vmxnet3 user map driver to DPDK2.0. I believe with DPDK2.0, the vmxnet3 PMD is builtin and I don?t need to use the external driver. I have been able to build the DPDK2.0 and I see that CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VMXNET3_PMD is set to y in the config.
Question is, what should be the steps that I follow on the ESXi node in my virtual machine to detect the NIC with the above driver (I do have vmxnet3 NIC there) Should I load the uio and take over the NIC the usual way with igb_uio and then run my application or are there any other steps to be followed.
