Step 1. Enable "SR-IOV" in the system BIOS.
Step 2. Enable "Intel Virtualization Technology".
Step 3. Install a hypervisor that supports SR-IOV.
Step 4. Depending on your system, update the /boot/grub/grub.conf file to include a similar com-
mand line load parameter for the Linux kernel.
For example, to Intel systems, add:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.32-36.x86-645)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-36.x86-64 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
intel_iommu=on
1
initrd /initrd-2.6.32-36.x86-64.img
1. Please make sure the parameter "intel_iommu=on" exists when updating the /boot/grub/grub.conf
file, otherwise SR-IOV cannot be loaded.
