IRQ interrrupts

From reading kb1003710 (1003710) i was running true the config of one of our host's.

The vector 0x71: this IRQ 16 is shared with VMK vmnic6,VMK qla4022, VMK vmnic1

right?

Hi, yes thats right. Bear in mind that these are owned by the service console. As per the KB you referenced:

"For the sake of analysis, you can ignore devices owned by the service console that have their names enclosed in angle brackets (<>), because the service console does not load a driver for them."

You've got to compare the output to the cat /proc/interrupts output to see whats being loaded at the vmnix level.

Thanks,

Yep, the IRQ is the number in the first column, so your host usb controller(s) are using IRQ 20 and 21 which isn't showing as sharing as per your first screenshot.
