My apologies, the hypervisor memory requirements for the EN24/EN26 adapter is 4.5GB, not 45GB.  I'll update the document.

My apologies, I didn't get the new vNIC and vNIC Failover FAQs pushed up until today.

Yes, the EN24/EN26 supports vNIC.

Yes, the hypervisor memory requirement for an EN24/EN26 configured in SR-IOV shared mode is approximately 45GB.  Each port requires a pool of resources.  The increase in number of ports increased the pool resources.

Does EN24/EN26 adapter support vNIC ?

Page 9 of SR-IOV FAQ says:


Adapters FCs             Hypervisor memory per adapter
EN24, EN26               45GB

Is 45GB error or EN24/26 used that much memory ?
