Configure a Citrix ADC VPX instance to use PCI passthrough network interfaces
After you have installed and configured a Citrix ADC VPX instance on the Linux-KVM platform, you can use the Virtual Machine Manager to configure the virtual appliance to use PCI passthrough network interfaces.
Prerequisites
- The firmware version of the Intel XL710 Network Interface Card (NIC) on the KVM Host is 5.04.
- The KVM Host supports input–output memory management unit (IOMMU) and Intel VT-d, and they are enabled in the BIOS of the KVM Host. On the KVM Host, to enable IOMMU, add the following entry to the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file:
intel_iommu=1 - Execute the following command and reboot the KVM Host:
Grub2-mkconfig –o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
To configure Citrix ADC VPX instances to use PCI passthrough network interfaces by using the Virtual Machine Manager:
1. Power off the Citrix ADC VPX instance.
2. Select the Citrix ADC VPX instance and click Open.
3. In the <virtual_machine on KVM> window, click the i icon.
4. Click Add Hardware.
5. In the Add New Virtual Hardware dialog box, do the following:
a. Select PCI Host Device.
b. In the Host Device section, select the Intel XL710 physical function.
c. Click Finish.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add any additional Intel XL710 physical functions.
7. Power on the Citrix ADC VPX instance.
8. Once the Citrix ADC VPX instance powers on, you can use the following command to verify the configuration:
The output should show all the interfaces that you configured:
