I am trying to configure SR-IOV, I am following the document from Intel, the servers are Windows 2012 Hyper-V CORE. The documentation says that from Device Manager / Network Adapters / Advanced / SR-IOV Value Enabled.

                            Since they are CORE Hyper-V I don't have access to GUI and can't be installed. That being said, can anyone please let me know how do I enable this setting?

                            Here are the steps from intel - Page 9

Page 9 of that document lists the registry settings to make. REGEDIT.EXE works just fine in both Hyper-V Server and Windows Server in Core mode (it's not clear from your description which you are using).

If you create your virtual switch with New-VMSwitch, you have to use "-EnableIOV $true". If you already created a virtual switch, you have to destroy it and recreate it with that switch.

The Device Manager settings that they are talking about are in the guest, not the host. But really, the only purpose of the Device Manager steps are to see if the guest sees it. All you really have to do is install the drivers inside the guest.

Hi,

Just want to confirm the current situations.

Please feel free to let us know if you need further assistance.

Regards.
