The operating system release contains a default driver for certain NICs, while for others you must download and install it from a location provided by the vendor of the NIC or the host.
Must be installed on the operating system.

Must be Microsoft WLK or WHCK certified for Windows virtual machines. Must be supported on the guest OS release according to the technical documentation from the NIC vendor. Must be supported by the NIC on the installed ESXi release according to the technical documentation from the NIC vendor. And sometimes it will only enable port1 and port2 always off no matter what. I need to have my vCenter GUI to enable in SR-IOV via editing physical adapter (right most side) before it show up in VM adapter settings. The ESXi release provides a default driver for certain NICs, while for others you must download and manually install it. In my case, even if i enabled the SR-IOV from ESXi host, the SR-IOV passthrough won't show up in network adapter. Must have SR-IOV enabled in the firmware.
NOTE: The issues that are listed in this document are applicable to Dell EMC. The current release of VMware vSphere incorporates feature upgrades, new hardware, feature support, and bug fixes that enhance the virtualization experience in VMware environments.
Must be supported for use with the host and SR-IOV according to the technical documentation from the server vendor. VMware vSphere 6 includes the ESXi 6 hypervisor and is managed by vCenter Server 6. Contact the server vendor to determine whether the host supports SR-IOV. Must support SR-IOV, and must have SR-IOV enabled in the BIOS. Must support I/O memory management unit (IOMMU), and must have IOMMU enabled in the BIOS. Must be compatible with the ESXi release. However, even after a reboot, VMware still shows the status as Enabled/Needs reboo. Supported Configurations for Using SR-IOV Component Hello, I have configured a ConnectX5 for SR-IOV under ESXi 6.7. To use SR-IOV in vSphere, your environment must meet several configuration requirements. Some features of vSphere are not functional when SR-IOV is enabled. VSphere supports SR-IOV in an environment with specific configuration only.
