Hi Lee,

In following link you said about BIOS settings to eliminate RMRRs. 

http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-March/015504.html

2) If your application requires the IOMMU, there are BIOS parameters that can be
   configured to eliminate the RMRRs on a slot-by-slot basis.  (I will send instructions
   for this separately, since it is not a DPDK issue.)

Please send the details for the above configuration. PFA screen shot for the Gen8 server version details.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Varun,

As I replied in you previous post, the issue is most likely related to HP.
You need to contact HP for a solution to your issues as suggested in the following thread by Lee A. Roberts from HP:
