Hi,
For a XEN environment I have doubts if SR-IOV will provide the required features compared to nPAR.
Servers will be Dell M620 with either Intel X520 or Broadcom 57711, running Linux kernel 3.8, XEN 4.2 and openvswitch 1.7
I need separate networks on the hypervisor:
- Management
- Storage
- Openvswitch
- Passthrough for VMs
So my questions are:
- Can I use the PF's on the hypervisor?
- Can I use 4 VFs on the hypervisor and the rest for VM passthrough?
- Can I bond VFs with LACP?
- Can I use a VF as a iSCSI HBA?
- Is DCB supported in above configuration?
- Can I guarantee 1 VF 50% and let the rest use the default round robin fairness?
Hope someone is able to help me with answers or documentation, as I have had difficulties finding it.
Thanks.
Regards
Kristoffer
