Appendix B Cards That Support SR-IOV
This appendix describes the cards that support SR-IOV.
The SPARC M10 system with the following XCP firmware version and Oracle VM Server for SPARC version supports the SR-IOV function.
- XCP firmware version: XCP 2210 or later

- Oracle VM Server for SPARC version: 3.0 or later
For OS version requirements of each logical domain that may use virtualization functions of Oracle VM Server for SPARC, including the SR-IOV function, see the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems Product Notes.
For a list of the SR-IOV supporting cards that have Fujitsu product IDs, see Table B-1. Table B-2 lists the SR-IOV supporting cards that have Oracle product IDs.
Note - When using the SR-IOV function, the following restrictions are added to the logical domains of Oracle Solaris 10 for Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2 and later.
- The root domain does not support the SR-IOV function.

- The use of the SR-IOV function with the I/O domain is not recommended.

The SR-IOV function is scheduled to be made unavailable with versions later than Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2.
Therefore, use Oracle Solaris 11.1 or later for logical domains that use the PFs or VFs of the SR-IOV function. For details, see the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2 Administration Guide.
