Notes and Restrictions on the SR-IOV Function


Notes and Restrictions on the SR-IOV Function
Notes
  1. Before maintenance on PCI Express (PCIe) cards that use the SR-IOV function is performed with either dynamic reconfiguration (DR) of physical partitions or PCI hot plug (PHP), perform the following procedure.
    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 M10-4/Fujitsu M10-4S/SPARC M10-4/SPARC M10-4S 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 performing maintenance with DR or PHP, execute the following procedure, if necessary.
    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 on-board LAN interfaces of SPARC M10 systems support the SR-IOV feature.
  3. The static SR-IOV feature is supported from Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.0 onwards.
  4. The dynamic SR-IOV feature is supported from Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.0 onwards.
  5. 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.
  6. For a list of PCI cards that support the SR-IOV feature, refer to the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems PCI Card Installation Guide.
