Implementing SR-IOV for Red Hat Enterprise Linux on HP ProLiant Servers

Technical white paper | Implementing SR-IOV for Red Hat Enterprise Linux on HP ProLiant Servers

The following section provides a list of supported Host and Guest operating systems.

SR-IOV compliant HP ProLiant servers

The following tables list the HP ProLiant servers and minimum System ROM version that are required to implement and

enable the Linux SR-IOV feature on each specific platform.

Important

SR-IOV requires both hardware and system ROM compliance to work. Your server must have the minimum system ROM

version listed in the following tables to enable SR-IOV. If necessary, update the system ROM before beginning enabling SR-

IOV.

System ROM updates can be downloaded from the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) website, located at:
