    Hi guys,

    I'm a bit stuck with a server, i have a RTX A6000 that we want to use for a test case inside a VM.

    so I have installed it on a workstation, (FUJITSU Workstation CELSIUS R940)

    in the settings I see the GPU is recognized and showing as RTX A6000, on the SR-IOV column I see "not capable"

    I followed the manuals, and it said that i need to turn on sr-iov in the bios, in the bios of my workstation there is no such function.

    and so I have checked on 4 other pro workstations, all different make / model. non of them have this in the bios.

    also when I press to enable pass-through with the toggle button, it enables it, but stays yellow, saying need's to reboot. does not matter how many times I reboot it stays same way.

    now my question, did I miss something and must set it ? or is my motherboard / boards not capable and I wont be able to use this card under a VM ?
