Hello Gianluca,

Thank you for the links.
I read the documents and understood SR-IOV is supported.

This is a question apart from NFV, I need RDMA (InfiniBand) and RDMA (Ethernet) 
using Mellanox ConnextX-6 cards.
Do you (or does anyone) know if RDMA (InfiniBand) and RDMA (Ethernet) work on 
oVirt environment?

I found following MLNX_OFED documentation and it seems that RDMA will work with 
SR-IOV.

Regards,
Fukumoto

Hello everyone,

I've checked the documentation of oVirt, but cannot find if following function 
can work on oVirt or not.
- NFV (Network Functions Virtualization)

Does someone know NFV can work on oVirt?

For your reference, Red Hat OpenStack Platform seems to support NFV as follows
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/12/html-single/network_functions_virtualization_product_guide/index

I think you can find useful information here for RHV 4.4, that should be 
applicable to oVirt 4.4 too:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/administration_guide/sect-virtual_network_interface_cards#Enabling_Passthrough_on_a_vNIC_Profile
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/administration_guide/sect-hosts_and_networking#setting-up-and-configuring-sr-iov
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/hardware_considerations_for_implementing_sr-iov/
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/virtual_machine_management_guide/sect-migrating_virtual_machines_between_hosts#Live_migration_prerequisites

I don't know if it is supported to also use NFV with OVN external provider in 
oVirt/RHV

HIH,
Gianluca
