Cisco recommend that you create a named BIOS policy as VMwarePassThru so that you can identify it as being used for VM-FEX in high-performance mode.
You must enable these specific parameters in the following BIOS settings:
• Processor—Enable Virtual Technology (VT) and Direct Cache Access.
You must enable VT if you intend to run 64-bit VMs on the ESX/ESXi host. An
ESX/ESXi host will not run 64-bit VMs unless VT is enabled
For directed IO – Cisco recommend the following parameters are set
◦VT for Directed IO
◦Interrupt Remap
◦Coherency Support
◦ATS Support
◦Pass Through DMA Support
