I have an Intel Xeon E-2176M processor and I am trying to pass through the GSPI interfaces to the Ubuntu VM.
The output of lspci for those interfaces is below
0000:00:1e.2 Serial bus controller: Intel Corporation Device a32a
0000:00:1e.3 Serial bus controller: Intel Corporation Device a32b
I have tried esxcli system settings kernel set --setting=disableACSCheck --value=TRUE
but that did not work. I do not see these devices in the /etc/vmware/pci.ids file so I am not if it is not supported at all.
Is there a way to add it and have it enabled ?
Some data points
vmware -vl
