Abstract
A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing dynamic adjustment of Input/Output bandwidth for Virtual Machines of a Single Root Input/Output Virtualization (SRIOV) adapter. The SRIOV adapter includes a plurality of virtual functions (VFs). Each individual virtual function (VF) is enabled to be explicitly assigned to a Virtual Machine (VM); and each of a plurality of VF teams is created with one or more VFs and is assigned to a VM. Each VF team is enabled to be dynamically resizable for dynamic adjustment of Input/Output bandwidth.
