Each virtual machine can connect to up to two passthrough devices, which include certain networking and
storage PCI devices. Supported devices include the Intel 82598 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller and Broadcom
57710 and 57711 10 Gigabit Ethernet controllers. VMDirectPath is experimentally supported for storage I/O
devices with QLogic QLA25xx 8Gb Fibre Channel, Emulex LPe12000 8Gb Fibre Channel, and LSI 3442e‐R and
3801e (1068 chip based) 3Gb SAS adapters. Search the Hardware Compatibility Guide at
