Host May Reboot after Removing PF when VF is Active in Guest
Using kernel versions earlier than 3.2, do not unload the PF driver with active VFs. Doing this will cause your VFs to
stop working until you reload the PF driver and may cause a spontaneous reboot of your system.
igbvf Linux* Driver for the Intel® Gigabit Adapters
igbvf Overview
This driver supports upstream kernel versions 2.6.30 (or higher) x86_64.
The igbvf driver supports 82576-based and I350-based virtual function devices that can only be activated on kernels
that support SR-IOV. SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
The igbvf driver requires the igb driver, version 2.0 or later. The igbvf driver supports virtual functions generated by the
igb driver with a max_vfs value of 1 or greater. For more information on the max_vfs parameter refer to the section on
the
igb driver.
The guest OS loading the igbvf driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not supplying patches against the kernel source
to allow for static linking of the driver. For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation sup-
plied with your Intel Gigabit adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use with Linux.
Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section Additional Configurations later in this document.
NOTE: For VLANs, There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.

To verify your adapter is supported, find the board ID number on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a
number in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits). Match this to the list of numbers above.
