We have:
ASUS Prime X299-A II
Intel Core i9-10940X LGA2066 X299, BX8069510940X
ESXi 7.0 Update 2
Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T2
In BIOS: vt-d Enabled
I'm switching the host to maintenance mode.
Manage\Hardware\PCI Devices
Configure SR-IOV\ Enabled, Virtual functions =8
Reboot...
After the reboot, the network adapter has 0 available functions
And in the SR - IOV Configuration section
of the adapter, I see "Enabled \ Needs reboot"
Restarting again does not help.
Manipulations without maintenance mode also have no effect.
