Static SR-IOV Software Requirements

For information about SR-IOV hardware and software requirements, see https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&doctype=REFERENCE&id=1325454.1.

You can use the ldm set-io or ldm add-io command to set the iov property to on. You can also use the ldm add-domain or ldm set-domain command to set the rc-add-policy property to iov. See the ldm(8) man page.

Rebooting the root domain affects SR-IOV, so carefully plan your direct I/O configuration changes to maximize the SR-IOV related changes to the root domain and to minimize root domain reboots.
