Notes:
On 4-port OCx11104 adapters, VFs can be configured only for ports 0 and 1, not
for ports 2 or 3.
VFs are supported for network functions only; they are not supported for
storage functions.
9. Detach VFs from the host before adding them to the guest.
Example 1 (using only one VF per physical port):
