Is this the only igb adapter in the system?
View ArticleRe: latest vSphere 5.5 + Intel I350-T4 = SRIOV?
I think yes, but honestly don't know, don't even know how to check. It's a stock 5.5 update1 with latest patch 1.6.2014 installed and then the 5.2.5 async igb driver. Anything else?

If the I210 is also an igb device, then I think you want: esxcfg-module igb -s max_vfs=0,0,7,7,7,7 (That is, if there are actually six igb devices on the bus, then you need six comma-separated values.)

I was super excited when I first read your reply. Here it is: ~ # esxcli system module parameters set -m igb -p "max_vfs=3,0,0,0,0,0"Unable to set module parameters the following params are invalid:...

By disabling passthrough of i210AT NICs I get the same error. Maybe the command/syntax is not right when you have one SRIOV capable and one SRIOV incapable NICs with the same driver?

What do you mean by "pertinent messages"? Should I check this log after I try the command? Thank you so far!
View ArticleRe: latest vSphere 5.5 + Intel I350-T4 = SRIOV?
Just checked log and there are 5000+ lines. Don't know what to look for. Awaiting for your advice
View ArticleRe: latest vSphere 5.5 + Intel I350-T4 = SRIOV?
I would look for any lines containing IOV. I would also check /var/log/boot.gz for any lines containing vmnic, just to see if anything interesting pops out.

vmkernel.log doesnt have anything interesting when searching for "IOV", just "Initializing IOV...." and "...cpu..." under.boot.gz cant open with vi. How to check?

Upon closer inspection, it looks like the igb driver does not support max_vfs on ESXi.
View ArticleRe: latest vSphere 5.5 + Intel I350-T4 = SRIOV?
That being translated means it does not support SRIOV? Very bad news... Even the card supports SRIOV there is no way of enabling it?
View ArticleRe: latest vSphere 5.5 + Intel I350-T4 = SRIOV?
What about passing port by port? Is it possible to make it "stable"? Thank you very much so far..
