minimum and maximum TX bandwidth field for which you want to allocate
bandwidth. There are four partitions per port if NPAReP mode is disabled;
eight partitions per port if NPAReP mode is enabled. NPAReP mode
requires that ARI be enabled in the BIOS for adapter's PCI slot.

after a system reset.
Partition N Minimum TX Bandwidth is the minimum transmit
bandwidth of the selected partition expressed as a percentage of the
maximum physical port link speed. Values can be 0–100. When DCBX
ETS mode is enabled, the per traffic class DCBX ETS minimum
bandwidth value overrides the per partition minimum TX bandwidth
value.The total of the minimum TX bandwidth values of all partitions on
a single port must equal 100 or be all zeros.
Partition N Maximum TX Bandwidth is the maximum transmit
bandwidth of the selected partition expressed as a percentage of the
maximum physical port link speed. Values can be 1–100. The per
partition maximum TX bandwidth value applies regardless of the
DCBX ETS mode setting. If the maximum TX bandwidth for a partition
is set to 0, the effective bandwidth is one percent.
