IOVCTL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual IOVCTL(8) NAME iovctl -- PCI SR-IOV configuration utility SYNOPSIS iovctl -C [-f config-file] [-n] iovctl -D [-f config-file | -d device] [-n] iovctl -S [-f config-file | -d device] DESCRIPTION The iovctl utility creates or destroys PCI Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Virtual Functions (VFs). When invoked with the -C flag, iovctl creates VFs as children of the Physical Function (PF) configured in the specified configuration file. When invoked with the -D flag, iovctl de- stroys all VFs that are children of the specified device. Available PF devices can be seen in /dev/iov/. The following options are available: -C Enable SR-IOV on the specified PF device and create VF children. This operation will fail if the PF already has VF children. This option must be used in conjunction with the -f option. -d device Specify the PF device to use for the given operation. device may either be the name of a PF device, or a full path name to a node in /dev/iov/. This option may not be used with the -C option. -D Delete all VF children of the specified PF device. This opera- tion will fail if SR-IOV is not currently enabled on the speci- fied device. -f config-file Specify the pathname of the configuration file. For the -C op- tion, this file will be used to specify all configuration values. For the -D and -S options, this file will only be used to specify the name of the PF device. See iovctl.conf for a description of the config file format and documentation of the configuration parameters that apply to all PF drivers. See the PF driver manual page for configuration pa- rameters specific to particular hardware. -n Perform a dry-run. Perform all validation of the specified ac- tion and print what would be done, but do not perform the actual creation or destruction of VFs. This option may not be used with the -S flag. -S Read the configuration schema from the specified device and print its contents to stdout. This action may be used to discover the configuration parameters supported on a given PF device.
