No Active ports in Port Group

Hi Experts,

I am very new user of VMWARE and facing weird issue. I having a Mellanox NIC with 2 40G ports. I installed ESX 6.5 on Supermicro server.

esxcli network nic list | grep Mell

vmnic6  0000:d8:00.0  nmlx5_core  Up            Up           40000  Full    ec:0d:9a:a0:1c:ec  1500  Mellanox Technologies MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5]

vmnic7  0000:d8:00.1  nmlx5_core  Up            Up           40000  Full    ec:0d:9a:a0:1c:ed  1500  Mellanox Technologies MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5]

I enabled SRIOV for the NIC.

/opt/mellanox/bin/mlxconfig -d mt4119_pciconf0 q| grep SRIOV_EN

         SRIOV_EN                            True(1)

/opt/mellanox/bin/mlxconfig -d mt4119_pciconf0 q| grep NUM_OF_VFS

         NUM_OF_VFS                          8

I tried to create two VMs and tried to attach two VF per VM. So created 4 port groups - 2 groups have vlan 200 and other 2 has vlan 201

vmdumper -l

esxcli network sriovnic vf list -n vmnic6

esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup list

Name                Virtual Switch  Active Clients  VLAN ID

------------------  --------------  --------------  -------

Downlink Port1      vSwitch0                     1      200 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This is attached to VM1

Downlink Port2      vSwitch0                     1      201 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This is attached to VM1

Downlink Port3      vSwitch0                     0      200 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This is attached to VM2

Downlink Port4      vSwitch0                     0      201 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This is attached to VM2

Management Network  vSwitch0                     1     4095

VM Network          vSwitch0                     2        0

If you look at the previous output (esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup list), two port groups Downlink Port3 & Downlink Port4 does not have any Active ports........Am I missing something here ?

As a result, traffic does not reach to VM2. Any help appreciable.
