Spyre Setup
ServiceReport is a plugin-based tool that assists with the Spyre card setup. This section covers three aspects: validating the Spyre card configuration, fixing any incorrect setup, and ensuring the user is added to the sentient group.
$ sudo servicereport -v -p spyre
The command verifies all Spyre card-related configurations and displays the status of each check. If this command is run after a fresh system is installed, it is expected that the status of the configuration checks will be 'FAIL'. However, even if some of the configuration checks pass, proceed to the next step.
$ sudo servicereport -r -p spyre
Repair all incorrect Spyre card configurations. This includes setting up VFIO device bindings for the VFIO kernel module, configuring VFIO udev rules, adding the 'sentient' user group, setting memory limits for the 'sentient' group, inserting the VFIO modules, etc.
$ usermod -aG sentient <user>
Add the user who is expected to run the Spyre workload to the 'sentient' group. This will help the user inherit the necessary permissions to run the workload properly. For example: abc user is added to sentient group
