+
+First install `uvtool` on the hypervisor
+
+```
+apt install uvtool
+```
+
+Now download both focal and jammy images for usage to deploy VMs
+
+```
+mkdir -p /var/uvt
+
+TMPDIR=/var/uvt uvt-simplestreams-libvirt --verbose sync arch=amd64 release=focal
+TMPDIR=/var/uvt uvt-simplestreams-libvirt --verbose sync arch=amd64 release=jammy
+```
+
+Create a default network for `virsh` to use
+
+```
+cat > virsh-net-default.xml << EOF
+
+ default
+ ba71f522-c2c9-4fcd-9792-3c4f294e31da
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+EOF
+```
+
+Now, define it in virsh itself and start it up
+
+```
+virsh net-define virsh-net-default.xml
+virsh net-start default
+```
+
+Create 4 vms, 2 focal and 2 jammy
+
+```
+uvt-kvm create focal01 release=focal --mem 1024
+uvt-kvm create focal02 release=focal --mem 1024
+uvt-kvm create jammy01 release=jammy --mem 1024
+uvt-kvm create jammy02 release=jammy --mem 1024
+```
+
+Use the document to understand SRIOV basics
+
+https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/configure-sr-iov-network-virtual-functions-in-linux-kvm.html
+
+The following command show all the bus infos
+
+```
+lshw -c network -businfo
+```
+
+We chose the interfaces below
+
+```
+pci@0000:17:01.4 ens2f0v4 network Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function
+pci@0000:17:01.5 ens2f0v5 network Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function
+pci@0000:17:01.6 ens2f0v6 network Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function
+pci@0000:17:01.7 ens2f0v7 network Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function
+```
+
+We can then create a new file `iface01.xml` with the following contents, and similar for all 4 interfaces replacing `function='0x4'` with the number ad the end of the pci address
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+```
+virsh attach-device focal01 iface01.xml
+```
+
+Then we stop and start the VM
+
+```
+uvt-kvm ssh focal01
+```
+
+Add netplan configuration for the interface
+
+```
+cat > /etc/netplan/90-custom.yaml << EOF
+network:
+ version: 2
+ ethernets:
+ enp7s0:
+ dhcp4: false
+ addresses:
+ - 192.168.1.7/24
+ mtu: 9000
+EOF
+```
+
+```
+netplan apply
+```
+
+Now check dmesg, and we will find the error as shown below
+
+```
+[ 61.529605] iavf 0000:07:00.0: PF returned error -5 (IAVF_ERR_PARAM) to our request 6
+```
+
+We do the same for all 4 VMs
+
+* focal01 VF 4, IP: 192.168.1.7/24
+* focal02 VF 5, IP: 192.168.1.8/24
+* jammy01 VF 6, IP: 192.168.1.9/24
+* jammy02 VF 5, IP: 192.168.1.10/24
+
+On each of the VMs, we then enable proposed, and install the updated kernel from `-proposed`
+
+
+```
+cat </etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-$(lsb_release -cs)-proposed.list
+# Enable Ubuntu proposed archive
+deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ $(lsb_release -cs)-proposed restricted main multiverse universe
+EOF
+
+
+cat </etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates
+# Configure apt to allow selective installs of packages from proposed
+Package: *
+Pin: release a=$(lsb_release -cs)-proposed
+Pin-Priority: 400
+EOF
+
+apt update
+apt -y install linux-image-generic/$(lsb_release -cs)-proposed
+```
+
+Then test again with the pings, and you should no longer see the issue
+
+on the focal nodes
+
+```
+apt -y install linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04/$(lsb_release -cs)-proposed
+```
+
+then reboot, and re-test
