What do you mean by "use sr-iov"? If you mean directly assigning an
SRIOV virtual function to a guest using PCI passthrough device
assignment, then the answer is that the two things are incompatible - if
you are directly assigning network hardware to a guest, then that guest
will be directly connected to the physical network. Open vSwitch is used
to connect emulated network devices to the network.
