To verify that SR-IOV is operational
1. Start the VM.
2. In Hyper-V Manager, select the adapter and select the VM in the Virtual Machines list.
3. Select the Networking tab at the bottom of the window and view the adapter status.
SR-IOV and Storage Functionality
Storage functionality (FCoE or iSCSI) can be enabled on an SR-IOV-enabled adapter. However, if storage is used on an NPAR-
enabled physical function (PF), then the number of virtual functions for that PF is set to zero; therefore, SR-IOV is disabled on
that PF.
This limitation applies only when the adapter is configured in NPAR mode. It is not relevant when the adapter is configured in
single-function mode.
SR-IOV and Jumbo Packets
If SR-IOV is enabled on a virtual function (VF) on the adapter, ensure that the same jumbo packet settings is configured on
both the VF and the Microsoft synthetic adapter. You can configure these values using Windows Device Manager > Advanced
properties.
If there is a mismatch in the values, the SRIOV function will be shown the the Degraded state in Hyper-V > Networking
Status.
