Enabling Support for PCI Passthrough
This section describes how to enable a VM to support PCI Passthrough.
If the VM uses the SR-IOV mechanism, then ensure that the VF number for the associated PF and MAC address is available.
Use the following configuration to configure the PCF passthrough option on the VM:
cluster cluster_name
nodes node_name
type kvm
os enable-passthrough {true|false}
os num-vfs-per-pf number_of_vf_per_pf
exit
exit
NOTES:
-
cluster cluster_name – Specify the name of the cluster.
-
nodes node_name – Specify the name of the node.
-
os enable-passthrough {true|false} – Configures the PCI passthrough capability for the VM. Default value is "false".
-
os num-vfs-per-pf number_of_vf_per_pf – Specifies the number of the VF for each physical function. Default value is 16.
