'No SRIOV Virtual Function is available for given physical function
I am trying to configure VM on ESX 7 with an SRIOV passthrough NIC and I get this error:
Module DevicePowerOn power on failed. Failed to start the virtual machine. pciPassthru15: No SR-IOV virtual function (VF) is available for given physical function (PF) (00000:094:00.0).
this is the lspci output. I made sure that there are VFs configured on the PFs:

Any ideas what is going on and what can one do to fix this?
