Viewing Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Settings

You can view all Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) devices mapped to your virtual machines on the SR-

IOV Devices page. The SR-IOV interface is a hardware specification that allows a single PCIe device, such as a network adapter, to appear as multiple physical devices to the hypervisor. Because each device is directly assigned to an instance, it can bypass the hypervisor and virtual switch layer to achieve low latency and performance matching nonvirtualized environments. SR-IOV achieves this through the following types of functions:

• Physical Function (PF): These are PCIe devices that have SR-IOV capabilities. PFs are managed and configured in the same way as PCIe devices.

• Virtual Function (VF): These are lightweight PCIe functions that only process I/O. Because each VF is derived from a PF, the device hardware limits the number of VFs a device can have. A VF shares one or more hardware resources of the device, such as a memory or network port.

The following table lists all SR-IOV functions you can view in SR-IOV Devices :
