You need more recent kernel for ixgbe support :

commit 4c696ca9fbabc5f94a3c6db7f009e73f0ef21831

    ixgbe: Add support for set_channels ethtool operation
    
    This change adds support for the ethtool set_channels operation.
    
    Since the ixgbe driver has to support DCB as well as the other modes the
    assumption I made here is that the number of channels in DCB modes refers
    to the number of queues per traffic class, not the number of queues total.
