What are the available pciSlotNumbers for RHEL8 VMs?

 

Summary

What are the available pciSlotNumbers for RHEL8 VMs?

Cause

All normally created Virtual Machines with Virtual Hardware version 7 to 19 will have the same configuration:

pciBridge0: pciBridge, 1 function

pciBridge4: pcieRootPort, 8 functions

pciBridge5: pcieRootPort, 8 functions

pciBridge6: pcieRootPort, 8 functions

pciBridge7: pcieRootPort, 8 functions

VMs with this configuration can have up to 32 PCIe devices with the slot number sequence.

 160, 192, 224, 256,

1184, 1216, 1248, 1280,

2208, 2240, 2272, 2304,

3232, 3264, 3296, 3328,

4256, 4288, 4320, 4352,

5280, 5312, 5344, 5376,

6304, 6336, 6368, 6400,

7328, 7360, 7392, 7424,

Resolution

It is possible to manually configure a VM to have a different pciBridge configuration, and therefore different pciSlotNumbers but this should only be performed in cooperation with VMware Engineering.

VMware Process for obtaining Internal Use Licenses from March, 2021

 

General Information:

·        Greetings, if you need licenses for Internal use, there are two programs to be aware of as an alternative to licenses previously furnished on BuildWeb
that are approved by Legal and Compliance:

 

1. For Internal licenses for individual use, I suggest that you apply for a set of individual licenses through the VMware Employee License program (vELP)
   portal at https://velp.eng.vmware.com, that provides a set of over 40 uniquely assigned licenses for allowed internal uses, as explained on the Portal.
   Over 2,100 employees already participate and have been assigned over 95,000 unique licenses.

 

2. For Internal licenses for individual use that are not in the package that vELP Participants receive, or need special entitlements, you can apply for
   Internal Use licenses through an application process. This same application process is followed if you need long-expiration licenses, such as for PM/PMM
   or GSS Labs, or Permanent licenses for our Production Systems.

 

·        To apply for an Internal use license for cases where the vELP Licenses are not appropriate for the reasons cited above, you:

 

1. Fill out the form downloaded from https://onevmw.sharepoint.com/teams/WWSSO-License-Management-Info/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx
   The latest available License SKU guidance is always at
   https://onevmw.sharepoint.com/teams/WWSSO-License-Management-Info/SitePages/WWSSO-License-Management-Guide.aspx

 

2. Obtain your Manager’s approval

 

3. Email both the form and your manager’s approval to wwbo-license-management@vmware.com ^✉

There is no charge to your BU/Cost Center to participate in the vELP program or to request Internal use licenses.

 

Thank you,
