Example of PCI identifiers and interface names

7.1 LPAR mode z/VM guest KVM guest

The following example shows the relationship between PCI identifiers, ports, and interface names.

In this example, PCHIDs 01ec and 01ed represent the two ports of the same adapter in direct mode.

FID PCI ID PCHID VF Interface
fa 1ec0:00:00.0 01ec n eno7872np0
fb 1ec0:00:00.2 01ec y eno7872v0
fc 1ec0:00:00.3 01ec y eno7872v1
62 1ec0:00:00.1 01ed n eno7888np1
5f 1ec0:00:10.1 01ed y eno7888v0
63 1ec0:00:10.2 01ed y eno7888v1

Explanation

  • All devices share the same domain (1ec0)
  • 00:00.0 and 00:00.1 are PFs
  • The <device>.<function> part is the resource ID, which distinguishes PFs and VFs within the same domain.
  • Interface names encode PF identity and VF index
