SR-IOV Tutorial?

[spetrillo]

Hello all,

Is there a defacto tutorial on enabling SR-IOV and VFs? I have a 4 port Intel I350 card that is enabled for SR-IOV but I am nor sure the actual configuration needed to support it. Read alot if different posts but nothing is complete.

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

see the PVE documentation for information on how to set up SR-IOV:

Thanks Markus but I looked at that document and had more questions than answers there. For example the defacto tutorial should have a section on grub vs systemd, as it pertains to setting up your server for IOMMU. There is a lot more that should be added to get it to something that can be used by newbies like myself.

My advice is to follow the documentation. Everything you need is there or linked.
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI(e)_Passthrough#_sr_iov

That page also has a link to an article on kernel command line editing with grub or systemd.
