 Recommended Configuration Limits

This Configuration Maximums document provides the recommended configuration limits for VMware
products. When you configure, deploy and operate your virtual and physical equipment, it is highly
recommended you stay within the limits supported by your product. The limits presented in the tool are
tested, recommended limits, and are fully supported by VMware.

Disclaimer: The limits can be affected by other factors, such as hardware dependencies. For more information about the
supported hardware, see the appropriate hardware compatibility guide. It might not be possible to maximize all configuration
settings and expect your desired outcome. To ensure that you do not exceed supported configurations for your environment,
consult individual solution limits. The recommended configuration limits do not represent the theoretical possibilities of your
product.

SRIOV SR-IOV Number of virtual functions 1024 SR-IOV supports up to 43 virtual
per host functions on supported Intel NICs
and up to 64 virtual functions on
supported Emulex NICs. The actual
number of virtual functions
available for passthrough depends
on the number of interrupt vectors
required by each of them and on
the hardware configuration of the
host. Each ESXi host has a limited
number of interrupt vectors. When
the host boots, devices on the host
such as storage controllers,
physical network adapters, and USB
controllers consume a subset of
the total number of vectors.
Depending upon the number of
vectors these devices consume, the
maximum number of potentially
supported VFs could be reduced.
