Description of problem:

Changing "Number of VFs setting" from 0 to any number of VFs supported, results in error: "Failed to change the number of virtual functions", and the following vdsm error:

I have two pNIC's in a bond tied to ovirt management network. I've destroyed the bond, tied ovirt management network to one pNIC and tried to change the number of VFs on a second pNIC.

It's Emulex 10Gb card with be2net driver loaded (i can provide more details if needed):

 Capabilities: [180 v1] Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)
                IOVCap: Migration-, Interrupt Message Number: 000
                IOVCtl: Enable- Migration- Interrupt- MSE- ARIHierarchy-
                IOVSta: Migration-
                Initial VFs: 24, Total VFs: 24, Number of VFs: 0, Function Dependency Link: 01

I've added a conf file in modprobe.d containing:

"options be2net num_vfs=24"
