SubjectRE: SR-IOV problem with Intel 82599EB (not enough MMIO resources for SR-IOV)
Date
Jason,

DellR710 with the latest BIOS should work fine for SR-IOV. My BIOS is v.6.3.0 and release date is 07/24/2012
Please check if you configured intel_iommu=on in the grub.conf file.
If you did, check your kernel .config file under Device Drivers-> IOMMU Hardware support->enable Support for Intel IOMMU using DMA remapping Devices, enable Intel DMA Remapping Devices by Default, enable Support for Interrupt Remapping.

Thanks,
Sibai
