In This Release
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
This file describes the ixgbevf Linux* Base Driver for Intel Network
|
||||
Connection.
|
||||
|
||||
The ixgbevf driver supports 82599-based virtual function devices that can only
|
||||
be activated on kernels with CONFIG_PCI_IOV enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
The ixgbevf driver supports virtual functions generated by the ixgbe driver
|
||||
with a max_vfs value of 1 or greater.
|
||||
|
||||
The guest OS loading the ixgbevf driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
|
||||
|
||||
VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
|
||||
|
||||
Identifying Your Adapter
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
|
||||
Driver ID Guide at:
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Known Issues/Troubleshooting
|
||||
============================
|
||||
|
||||
Unloading Physical Function (PF) Driver Causes System Reboots When VM is
|
||||
Running and VF is Loaded on the VM
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Do not unload the PF driver (ixgbe) while VFs are assigned to guests.
