 If installed with NFD and started with resource-management, plugin will export a set of labels for the node. For detailed info, see [labeling documentation](./labels.md).
 
+## SR-IOV use with the plugin
+
+GPU plugin does __not__ setup SR-IOV. It has to be configured by the cluster admin.
+
+GPU plugin does however support provisioning Virtual Functions (VFs) to containers for a SR-IOV enabled GPU. When the plugin detects a GPU with SR-IOV VFs configured, it will only provision the VFs and leaves the PF device on the host.

 ## Issues with media workloads on multi-GPU setups
