Hi thanks for this video, In the end of it, i don't understand if both virtuals machines have the same IP ? 172.16.1.1 or ony one with 172.16.1.1 and the other 172.16.1.2 ?

[@PavolElsig]

j-louis MALYCHA They have different ip addresses. The virtual functions act as standalone NICs.

Would this also be working with a thunderbolt pcie enclosure with a sr-iov capable intel 82599 card or not?

[@PavolElsig]

It might, but I’m not 100% sure

[@franzpleurmann2585]

I tried. It doesnt work but I dont know if it is related to thunderbolt security.

[@PavolElsig]

@@franzpleurmann2585 It might just not support SR-IOV. Not even every pcie slot supports SR-IOV, even on motherboards that do support it. If you try to pass it through to the VM in its entirety, it might work.

Can you do a single GPU passthrough guide in ubuntu.

[@PavolElsig]

I’m working on one for Intel iGPUs

[@alfarahat]

Hi is there same for gpu without any licenses

[@PavolElsig]

Ismail Anwer There are some AMD server GPUs and Intel iGPUs that can do this.

[@Mr.Leeroy]

Can one VF nic ping the other one in this example, as if they are on a switch? or is there a net segmentation in place?
