Enabling or disabling SR-IOV

The SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) interface is an extension to the PCI express (PCIe) specification. It enables the BIOS to allocate more PCI resources to PCIe devices. Enable this option for a PCIe device or operating system that supports SR-IOV. Leave it enabled when using a hypervisor.
Procedure
  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Virtualization Options > SR-IOV.
  2. Select a setting.
    • Enabled—Enables a hypervisor to create virtual instances of a PCIe device, potentially increasing performance.

    • Disabled—Does not enable a hypervisor to create virtual instances of a PCIe device.

  3. Save your setting.
