Hardware Steering – Connectx6

[Tanay Maheshwari]

Hello,
I have a node with the SmartNIC ConnectX6 – and I am trying to run the NVIDIA GPU Packet Processing application.
However, running the application throws this error

`
mlx5_net: [mlx5dr_table_init_check_hws_support]: HWS not supported, cannot create mlx5dr_table
mlx5_net: [mlx5dr_table_create]: Failed to initialise table
mlx5_net: [mlx5dr_action_validate_hws_action]: Cannot create HWS action since HWS is not supported
<code></code>`

According to the documentation (https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/mlx5.html) HW Steering – NIC ConnectX-5 and before are not supported
That means it should have worked for my ConnectX6 node, right? Am I missing something, or is any additional config required?

If anyone is familiar with this, please help me out! I can’t find any documentation or threads surrounding this on the internet! It would be a great help if anyone could help me figure this out.

Thanks,
Tanay

Hi Tanay,

I wanted to check if this issue is still unresolved. I haven’t had a chance to look into it yet, but I plan to review the documentation and experiment with a few approaches. I’ll share any updates or findings here after the holidays.

Thanks,
Komal
