Creation of I/O Domain using virtual functions as HBA ports

pablomhApr 7 2016 — edited Apr 11 2016

Hi there,

This is going to be my first question to the community, so greetings to everyone

I'm trying to deploy a test I/O domain that will use several IOVFC VFs exported by both a primary and a service domain as its HBAs and I'm having difficulties while doing it.

- I've created a "Physical IO Domain" profile with 4 "Fibre Channel Device" PCIE Endpoints and 4 NICs (2 on every network I plan to give access to).

- When I try to apply its deployment plan it complains that the VM server target has "no free PCIe endpoints". That is partially true, as all the "physical" resources have been shared between the control and service domain, but they're lots of IOVFC virtual functions not assigned yet that could be picked...

Am I trying to set up an unsupported configuration or am I doing it wrong(TM)?

Thanks in advance and kind regards.

Pablo
