Description

Disclaimer

A custom bug ID has been generated as the vendor did not provide one: 52e4031d4c7d

Overview

In ESXi 7.0, SR-IOV configuration is applied without a reboot and the device driver is reloaded. ESXi hosts might have third party extensions perform device configurations that need to run after the device driver is loaded during boot. A reboot is required for those third party extensions to re-apply the device configuration.

Workaround

You must reboot after configuring SR-IOV to apply third party device configurations.
