9 . The operating method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, from the host device to the storage device, identifiers corresponding to the plurality of virtual functions.
10 . The operating method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting of the virtualization configuration setting command to the storage device by the host device comprises:
transmitting, from the host device to the storage device, the virtualization configuration setting command and a first virtualization configuration list.
11 . The operating method of claim 10 , wherein the first virtualization configuration list is different from a virtualization configuration list received from the storage device in response to the virtualization configuration acquisition command, and
wherein the first virtualization configuration list is transmitted when the host device sets configurations for the plurality of virtual functions different from the configurations for the plurality of virtual functions set before a reset.
12 . The operating method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, from the host device to the storage device, a number of virtual functions for a physical function related to the plurality of virtual functions.
13 . The operating method of claim 1 , wherein the performing the initialization operation comprises:
performing, by the storage device, the initialization operation based on a virtualization configuration list received from the host device when mode data of the virtualization configuration setting command indicates a new mode;
performing, by the storage device, the initialization operation based on the virtualization configuration list stored in a nonvolatile memory device when the mode data of the virtualization configuration setting command indicates a previous mode; and
performing, by the storage device, the initialization operation based on a default virtualization configuration list when the mode data of the virtualization configuration setting command indicates a default mode.
14 . An operating method of a storage device, the operating method comprising:
receiving a virtualization configuration setting command from an external host device; and
performing, by the storage device an initialization operation for a plurality of virtual functions of the storage device based on a virtualization configuration list in response to the virtualization configuration setting command,
wherein the storage device does not receive commands other than the virtualization configuration setting command from the external host device while performing the initialization operation.
15 . The operating method of claim 14 , further comprising:
transmitting the virtualization configuration list to the external host device after the initialization operation,
wherein the virtualization configuration list comprises at least one of valid data, resource data, online data, binding data, or a virtual function identifier for the plurality of virtual functions.
16 . The operating method of claim 14 , further comprising:
confirming the virtualization configuration list based on mode data included in the virtualization configuration setting command,
wherein the mode data indicates a previous mode, a new mode, or a default mode.
17 . The operating method of claim 14 , further comprising:
receiving, from the external host device, a virtualization configuration acquisition command that indicates a request for the virtualization configuration list stored in the storage device; and
transmitting the virtualization configuration list to the external host device in response to the virtualization configuration acquisition command.
18 . The operating method of claim 14 , wherein the performing of the initialization operation for the plurality of virtual functions of the storage device based on the virtualization configuration list comprises:
allocating resources to the plurality of virtual functions;
