I have two r210 ii servers with ESXi 6.5U1 and in the PCIe slot are 4 port 1000/VT card, it allows me to enable passthrough on the ports though I cannot fully enable them in ESXi, Virtualization and SR-IO are all enabled in the bios.

I enable the ports but even after reboot they are stuck at "enabled/reboot required"



This is on both servers, several reboots :( any tricks to get this working? I would not mind simply passing the PCIe port entirely but its not giving me this option.

Lots of googling points to the type of NIC card I have. Looks like ESXi does not like the way these cards are setup. PCIe Switch on the card, each supporting 2 NIC ports - time to look for a different card :)
