Does HP have a listing of workstations that support SR-IOV?
In testing Hyper-V in Windows Server 2016, we have a need to implements SR-IOV functionality and really need to find out if any of our available hardware is compatible.

 

Intel lists theirs here. I would expect HP to do similar.

Yes please, we definitely have a need for this.  I'm hoping the z8 can do this on every pci-express slot.

I am bumping this again. We still have a need to find out what combinations of HP Z### workstations might provide SR-IOV capabilities.

After doing a lot of digging.

HP Z600/620/640 workstation motherboards all have componentry that will support SR-IOV. The BIOS, on the other hand, does not support it.

When looking in the BIOS of any computer, there should be an item for SR-IOV. If it is not there, then it likely is not supported.

The Powershell instruction Get-NetAdapterSriov is very helpful as is the Powershell script survey-dda.ps1 which can be found with a simple google search.
I did find that Dell servers with a bios date somewhere in Mid 2012 does support SR-IOV. I have a 2013 model Poweredge server that I am running it on now.
