Hi Kaiwenx, There are no specific parameters except "-m 1024 -l 1,2". Just that the guest has 2 SR IOV X710 interfaces. Just for an additional update - ESX version: 8.0 U1 i40e PF driver version: 1.11.3.5 Firmware version:7.10 0x800075da 19.5.12 I tried updating the firmware version to 9.00 0x8000cadc 21.5.9 based on the compatibility matrix https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/detail.php?deviceCategory=io&productid=37976 But It still did not help. I'm not sure if we need to upgrade the driver version as well. Please let me know if you have any breakthroughs. Thanks in advance.
