Abstract:
A virtualization manager receives a request to configure a virtual interface of a virtual machine, the request comprising a selected logical network to be associated with the virtual interface and a virtual function capability option selection for the virtual interface. The virtualization manager then determines whether there is an available virtual function associated with the requested logical network. Responsive to determining there is an available virtual function, the virtualization manager assigns the virtual function to the virtual interface. Responsive to determining there is not an available virtual function, the virtualization manager further configures the virtual interface according to the virtual function capability option selection.
