It is recommended to enable the "above 4G decoding" BIOS setting for features that require a large amount of PCIe resources (e.g., SR-IOV with numerous VFs, PCIe Emulated Switch, Large BAR Requests).
When upgrading or changing the configuration on multi-host adapter cards, for the changes to take effect, PCIe restart must be simultaneously sent from both hosts (servers).
To do so, perform the following:
1. Shut down the server with the auxiliary card.
2. Shut down the server with the primary card.
3. Bring back the server with the primary card.
4. Bring back the server with the auxiliary card.
