 Restrictions on PCIe error isolation mode
Note the following restrictions on PCIe error isolation
modes.
 Onboard NICs do not support the PCIe error isolation mode. Make sure to
disable the PCIe error isolation setting of the onboard NIC when using the PCIe
error isolation mode with a standard server blade with EFI 03-43/04-43 or later
and BMC 03-78 or later; a high-performance server blade with EFI 03-17/04-17
or later and BMC 04-33 or later.
 See PCIe devices supporting error isolation mode
the PCIe error isolation mode.

When using the PCIe error isolation mode with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, make
sure to apply hot-plug modules. See

 When the PCIe error isolation mode is used with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the
following message may appear at a PCI Express failure, which is no problem.

Supports only Legacy mode.
Supports PCIe Error Isolation and
Legacy mode.
When all I/O devices, including HBA
and NIC, are configured with
redundancy, PCIe Error Isolation
mode is recommended. With other
than that, make sure to select
Legacy mode.
