Config Notes

Install: System installed via network PXE UEFI boot; the OS was installed using the UEFI boot loader and system configuration.
SR-IOV: System was tested using SR-IOV where a virtual network adapter was given to a SLES 15 SP6 guest. One of the Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T4 adapters was used in this testing.
In a heavy system and network load environment the Intel I219-LM host adapter may need the TSO disabled (set to off) for the virtual NICs to function without errors. See https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000018696 for details.
