Sets the Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) properties of the network adapter, such as the number of virtual functions (VFs), the number of virtual ports (VPorts), and the number of queue pairs for default and non-default VPorts.

The Set-NetAdapterSriov cmdlet sets the Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) properties of the network adapter. The properties include the
number of virtual functions (VFs), the number of virtual ports (VPorts), and the number of queue pairs for default and non-default VPorts. The
enabled state of SR-IOV can also be set with the cmdlet.
The network adapter for these actions can be specified with the adapter name, interface description, or piped as an input object.

EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\>Set-NetAdapterSriov -Name "Ethernet 2" -NumVFs 31
This example sets the number of VFs available to 31 on the network adapter named Ethernet 2.
EXAMPLE 2
PS C:\>Set-NetAdapterSriov -Name "Ethernet 2" -NumVFs 31 -VPorts 64 -NumQueuePairsForDefaultVPort 2 -NumQueuePairsForNonDefaultVPort 2
This example sets the number of VFs to 31 and the total number of VPorts to 64. This will result in 31 VF and 32 virtual machine queue (VMQ),
plus 1 used by the physical function (PF). Since the number of queue pair is set to 2 for both default and non-default ports, the total number
of queue pairs used will be 128.
