[root@dell-per740-36 yingwang]# cat mlx277netpolicy.yaml 
apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1
kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy
metadata:
  name: mlx277netpolicy
  namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator
spec:
  mtu: 1800
  nicSelector:
    deviceID: '1015'
    pfNames:
      - ens2f0
    vendor: '15b3'
  nodeSelector:
    feature.node.kubernetes.io/sriov-capable: 'true'
  numVfs: 10
  resourceName: mlx277netpolicy
[root@dell-per740-36 yingwang]# oc create -f mlx277netpolicy.yaml 
sriovnetworknodepolicy.sriovnetwork.openshift.io/mlx277netpolicy created

2. Check ens2f0 but no VFs are enabled
sh-4.4# ip -d link show ens2f0
10: ens2f0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 98:03:9b:48:dd:98 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0 minmtu 68 maxmtu 9978 addrgenmode none numtxqueues 256 numrxqueues 64 gso_max_size 65536 gso_max_segs 65535
