I've got a H-V 2016 node which runs VMs and I use as a file server.
I'm going to migrate to a 10gbe connection, and planning on using only a single connection for management/vm/file shares. Aside from making sure that I enable SRV-IO on the Virtual Switch and enable hardware acceleration on all VMS, anything else to worry about?
(Home use, not worried about isolating management network from client network)
Thanks!

Validate the OS is actually seeing the NIC with SRV-IO capabilities:

Get-NetAdapterSriov -Name "*"

If not, it's either a BIOS setting, specific PCI-E slot config, or not support at the motherboard level (unfortunately my case...)

Thanks! Looks like all my adapters are supported/true!
