|

without the usage of the qualifier “physical” or “virtual” will be

In PCI terms, an IOA may be defined by a unique combination of its assigned
|
||
|
|
bus number and device number, but not necessarily including its function number.
|
||
|
|
That is, an IOA may be a single or multi-function device, unless otherwise specified by
|
||
|
|
the context of the text. In the context of a PCIe I/O Virtualized (IOV) device (not to be
|
||
|
|
confused with a virtual IOA), an IOA is a single or multiple function device (for example, a
|
||
|
|
PCIe Virtual Function (VF) or multiple VFs). An IOA function may or may not have its own set of
|
||
|
|
resources, that is may or may not be in its own Partitionable Endpoint (PE) domain
