B200 SR-IOV

[Stan Svetec]

Hi,

My UCS chassis is full of B200 M3's on 2.0(3a).  Do I require a firmware upgrade first before I investigate configuring the UCS for SR-IOV?

Thanks.

Hello Stan,

Just another question.  Currently, we present 4 NICS to the Hyper-V host, with the VLAN ID configured on the UCS for each NIC.  In a VM-FEX scenario, where is the VLAN ID configured?  Does that still reside on the UCS, or is the VLAN for each required NIC configured in the Hyper-V networking on the host?
