Introduction:
Enabling virtualization technology on an GIGABYTE server involves accessing the server's BIOS or UEFI settings and enabling the appropriate options. Virtualization technology, such as "Intel Virtualization Technology" (VT-x) or "AMD-V." Enable these options, needs to be enabled in the server's hardware settings to allow virtualization software (such as VMware, Hyper-V, or KVM) to run efficiently.
Please note that the exact steps might vary depending on the server model and BIOS/UEFI version. The following are general steps to enable virtualization technology on an GIGABYTE server:
Step 1
Take an IPMI connection to the server, restart it, and then press F2 to display the BOIS/Platform configuration.
Step 2
Once select BOIS/Platform configuration, choose Advanced Options > PCI Subsystem Settings > SR-IOV Support and change it to enabled, than click F10 to save the settings and reboot the server
SR-IOV Support
If system has SR-IOV capable PCIe Devices, this option enables or disables Single Root IO
SR-IOV Select a setting.
Enabled—Enables a hypervisor to create virtual instances of a PCIe device, potentially increasing performance.
Disabled—Does not enable a hypervisor to create virtual instances of a PCIe device.
