Hi,
I have the below ConnectX-3 Pro Mellanox NIC on a new gen HP server.
# lspci | grep Mel
09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27520 Family [ConnectX-3 Pro]
I am able to create 16 SR-IOV VF’s on it. I wanted to know how I can increase the number of SRIOV VFs to more than 16.
I tried the following and it failed.
# mlxconfig -d /dev/mst/mt4103_pciconf0 q
Device #1:
----------
Device type: ConnectX3Pro

Device #1:

Could you please guide me in configuring more than 16 SR-IOV VFs?
