Hello there. I have just received a 'new to me' server, with 2 x xeon 25 2650 V2 processors and 64 gigs of ram.
I have not got deep into things yet just installed ESXi on an ssd in the system, nothing else yet.
It installed fine and there were no warning as about end of life on these processors.
It launchs fine and whilst I have not created a VM yet I can go through the entire vm set up procedure, assign cpu and ram etc.
However in the hardware section there are tonnes of greyed out lines saying not capaable for SR-IOV and passthrough, including
v2/Xeon E5 crystal beach channel x
v2/xeon E5 PCI express root
Intel C600/X79 sereis chipset controller
etc etc
I feel this is something I should be concerned about, but not sure how to proceed.
In the bios it says hyperthreading and intel virtual stuff is enabled.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
