VIAVI TestCenter: How do you correct a bad cardinfo.conf file on a PX3-QSFP-DD-8 appliance?
There is a text file that holds some configuration for the appliance's ports so that when a port or ports reboots, it knows, mainly, what speed and hence FPGA image to load. That file is:
/mnt/VIAVI/hypervisor/conf/cardinfo.conf
So, for example,
if the speed shown in the port reservation window is different from what is held in cardinfo.conf,
then you can
correct the "SPEED" entry to match itreset the VM to see if the correction helps
Here is an example of cardinfo.conf:
