Configuring SR-IOV in VMware ESXi
This section uses VMware ESXi 6.0 as an example. For details about the configuration on other OSs, see the OS documentation provided by the OS vendors.
To configure SR-IOV in VMware ESXi 6.0, perform the following steps:
You have enabled SR-IOV in the QLogic BIOS and installed NIC drivers.
- In VMware ESXi 6.0, run the lspci | grep-i 57810 command to view physical network ports.Figure 4-284 Viewing NIC ports
- Enable SR-IOV and run the esxcfg-module bnx2x-s max_vfs=[num] command, in which [num] indicates the number of VFs to be enabled. Restart the system for the setting to take effect.Figure 4-285 Enabling SR-IOV and setting the number of VFs
- Run the lspci | grep-i 57810 command to check the total number of network ports.Figure 4-286 Checking the VF generation result
After VFs are created for the MZ520, do not shut down vmnics of the VFs; otherwise, the VFs cannot work properly. If vmnics of the VFs are disabled accidentally, restart the OS.
