Recently , some busy . 

The project test Single-root IO virtualization based on windows 8 server beat not very well . because the feature is newly in the hardware , and Microsoft supported SR-IOV just getting started by Hyper-v Version 3.0 . So when I want to search many documents or spec of this project ,  whether search in Google  or Baidu website , I only can get a little of result , and vast majority of the result is shown in English language . anyway , may be its the several resource of my can used .

Then , I try to find a valid method by any way ,  such as enable the VT-d  and SR-IOV feature in the BIOS , download the newly drivers of the HBA , and update BIOS firmware with new release ,   reinstall and configuration the hyper-v according to the windows spec . even to try install the Redhat enterprise Linux and configured the Xen ,  addition and remove the modprobe to setup the max_vfs parameter .  But , however , its not successful .  at present , only can be via powershell and use Get-NetAdapterSriov to display some adapter information which support Sr-iov. but the vf adapter still can’t find it .
