MANAGING CONFIGURATION AND SYSTEM OPERATIONS OF A NON-SHARED VIRTUALIZED INPUT/OUTPUT ADAPTER AS VIRTUAL PERIPHERAL COMPONENT INTERCONNECT ROOT TO SINGLE FUNCTION HIERARCHIES

摘要

A computer implemented method of managing an adapter includes determining that an adapter is assigned to an operating system and generating a single root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV) function associated with the adapter. The SR-IOV function may be correlated to a non-SR-IOV function, and the non-SR-IOV function may be used to modify an operational status of the adapter.
