You must disable Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) in BIOS before you can use Oracle VM. This is necessary because input/output memory management unit (I/O MMU) is not supported in Oracle VM 3.2. You must also disable Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) in BIOS before you can use Oracle VM.
To disable the VT-d and SR-IOV settings in BIOS, perform the following steps:
For example, to reset the server.
From the local server, press the Power button (approximately 1 second) on the front panel of the server to power off the server, then press the Power button again to power on the server.
From the Oracle ILOM web interface, select Host Management > Power Control, then select Reset from the Select Action list box.
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type: reset /System
