• Enable SR-IOV in the Virtual Machine settings. If there are insufficient hardware
resources (due to non-SR-IOV-capable hardware or lack of resources) or, if ‘Enable
SR-IOV’ is not checked, the Virtual Machine will default to a synthetic network
adapter.
• VMQ and SR-IOV capabilities are mutually exclusive on the same instance of a
Network Adapter. However, it is possible to have two instances of the same physical
network adapter in the same VM–one that is VMQ-enabled and one that is SR-IOV-
enabled.
