+Live Migration of VM with SR-IOV VF
+===================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+It is not possible to migrate a Virtual Machine which has an SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF).
+
+To get around this problem the bonding PMD is used.
+
+The following sections show an example of how to do this.
+
+Test Setup
+----------
+
+A bonded device is created in the VM.
+The virtio and VF PMD's are added as slaves to the bonded device.
+The VF is set as the primary slave of the bonded device.
+
+A bridge must be set up on the Host connecting the tap device, which is the
+backend of the Virtio device and the Physical Function (PF) device.
+
+To test the Live Migration two servers with identical operating systems installed are used.
+KVM and Qemu 2.3 is also required on the servers.
+
+In this example, the servers have Niantic and or Fortville NIC's installed.
+The NIC's on both servers are connected to a switch
+which is also connected to the traffic generator.
+
+The switch is configured to broadcast traffic on all the NIC ports.
+A :ref:`Sample switch configuration <lm_bond_virtio_sriov_switch_conf>`
+can be found in this section.
+
+The host is running the Kernel PF driver (ixgbe or i40e).
+
+The ip address of host_server_1 is 10.237.212.46
+
+The ip address of host_server_2 is 10.237.212.131
+

+
+Live Migration steps
+--------------------
+
+The sample scripts mentioned in the steps below can be found in the
+:ref:`Sample host scripts <lm_bond_virtio_sriov_host_scripts>` and
+:ref:`Sample VM scripts <lm_bond_virtio_sriov_vm_scripts>` sections.

+The ``mac_addr`` command only works with kernel PF for Niantic
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> mac_addr add port 1 vf 0 AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
+
+The syntax of the ``testpmd`` command is:
+
+Create bonded device (mode) (socket).
+
+Mode 1 is active backup.
+
+Virtio is port 0 (P0).
+
+VF is port 1 (P1).
+
+Bonding is port 2 (P2).
+
+.. code-block:: console

+ Created new bonded device eth_bond_testpmd_0 on (port 2).
+ testpmd> add bonding slave 0 2
+ testpmd> add bonding slave 1 2
+ testpmd> show bonding config 2
+
+The syntax of the ``testpmd`` command is:
+
+set bonding primary (slave id) (port id)
+
+Set primary to P1 before starting bonding port.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> set bonding primary 1 2

+
+Primary is now P1. There are 2 active slaves.
+
+Use P2 only for forwarding.

+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> clear port stats all
+ testpmd> set bonding primary 0 2

+ testpmd> show bonding config 2
+
+Primary is now P0. There is 1 active slave.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> clear port stats all
+ testpmd> show port stats all
+
+No VF traffic is seen at P0 and P2, VF MAC address still present.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> port stop 1
+ testpmd> port close 1
+
+Port close should remove VF MAC address, it does not remove perm_addr.
+
+The ``mac_addr`` command only works with the kernel PF for Niantic.
