The VF NIC driver of a later version, for example, driver 3.15.1, enables you to configure different
numbers of VF NICs for ports. Assign the value for each port in the port display order after you
execute the lspci | grep –i intel | grep -i 'ethernet\|network' command.
For example, there are two Intel 82599 NICs, providing a total of four physical ports, and the
ports are displayed as shown in
Figure 90 . If you use max_vfs=0,10,0,10, the system does not
create VF NICs for vmnic0 and vmnic6, but creates 10 VF NICs for vmnic1 and vmnic7.
Figure 99 /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe.conf file
5. Add the ixgbevf driver to the blacklist to disable the Fedora17 from loading the VF NIC driver, as
shown in
Figure 100 .
Figure 100 /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe.conf file
6. Configure MAC addresses for VF NICs.
a. Create an rc.local file in /etc/rc.d/.
By default, no rc.local file exists in the Fedora17 system.
b. Make the rc.local file executable.
chmod +x rc.local
c. Save the MAC address configuration for VF NICs in the rc.local file, as shown in Figure 101 .
Make sure you configure a unique MAC address for each VF NIC to ensure correct NIC
operation. In Figure 101 , em1 and em2 are the names of the physical ports on the Intel 82599
NIC.
