I'm running the Xeon D1541 based X10SDV-8C-TLNF4, and as indicated by the results of "lspci | grep -i ethernet" believe I have successfully enabled SR-IOV for the two X552/X557-AT NIC's. I did that by modifying GRUB to read:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_iommu=on iommu=pt net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 ixgbe.max_vfs=8"
That being said, I have not yet been able to successfully enable SR-IOV for the two I350 NIC's. FYI, I am running KVM on Kubuntu 16.04, am on BIOS 1.1, and intend to access the VF's via pools. My question is what is the correct/best way to enable SR-IOV for all four NIC's?
