Note

The maximum number of VFs per hosted application instance, across all PCI devices, is 32.

For example, a hardware encryption hosted application can be launched with virtio interfaces and 32 QAT VFs. However, a hardware encryption hosted application with an SR-IOV network interface (with 1 VF) can only be launched with 31 VFs.

Note

Dual-use configuration (PCI passthrough or PCI SR-IOV on the same interface) is supported for Fortville NICs only.
