Notes and Restrictions on the SR-IOV Function


Notes and Restrictions on the SR-IOV Function
Notes
  1. If the maintenance of PCI Express (PCIe) cards that use the SR-IOV function is performed either with dynamic reconfiguration (DR) of physical partitions or with PCI hot plugging (PHP), execute the following steps beforehand.
    1. Remove all virtual functions (VF) from the I/O domains by executing the ldm remove-io command.

    2. Destroy all virtual functions (VF) by executing the ldm destroy-vf command.

    For the maintenance procedure using DR or PHP, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual or the PCI Expansion Unit for Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Service Manual.
    For details on the ldm command, see the Oracle VM Server for SPARC Administration Guide for the version used.
    After maintenance with DR or PHP, perform the following steps.

    3. Create virtual functions (VF) by executing the ldm create-vf command.

    4. Assign the virtual functions (VF) to the I/O domains by using the ldm add-io command.
  2. The onboard LAN interfaces of the SPARC M12 support the SR-IOV function.
  3. For details on the SR-IOV function, see the Oracle VM Server for SPARC Administration Guide for the version used. For the necessary fixes when using the SR-IOV function, see the Oracle VM Server for SPARC Release Notes for the version used.
  4. For a list of PCI cards that support the SR-IOV function, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 PCI Card Installation Guide.
