Hello!,

I've setup PVE7 with a failover bond setup and it's working fine.

I would like to activate SR-IOV to provide VF directly to a VM. My only doubt is what should I change regarding the host's network configuration, can I keep it using the "parent" devices or should I reconfigure it also using VF-based devices?
 
Rephrasing the question:

Should I use the PF for my bonding configuration on the host (enp129s0f0 + enp130s0f0)?, or should I configure the bond with the first VF (enp129s0f0v0+enp130s0f0v0)?.

For each VM is clear I should passthrough the PCI device for the VF, not so clear how can I use the very same NICs for the host traffic.
