Hi Moshe,

Thank you for your response.

I am creating VFs on intel X710 NIC. As per the documentation I need to disable 
'i40evf driver' on the host machine to get the VMs running with the VFs 
however, on doing so I am not getting the VF list while doing 'virsh 
nodedev-list'. Could you please advise if this driver is required to be running 
or not.


Best Regards,
Navdeep

Can you try to restart libvirtd and query again "virsh nodedev-list"

Hi Moshe,

Thank you very much for your response. I could see the list of nodes using 
virsh:

net_enp129s0f0_3c_fd_fe_a9_37_c0
net_enp129s0f1_3c_fd_fe_a9_37_c1
net_enp129s2_36_a5_18_f7_41_c6
net_enp129s2f1_96_b0_b3_37_cf_c5
net_enp129s2f2_0e_0c_63_76_07_0f
net_enp129s2f3_36_ca_41_10_7f_62
net_enp129s2f4_f2_79_ee_75_38_a9
net_enp129s2f5_2a_a1_c6_02_55_11
net_enp129s2f6_16_e3_c4_01_8c_6d
net_enp129s2f7_66_56_63_d8_a8_ad

these does not have the node 'net_enp129s2_b2_87_6e_13_a1_5e' listed. Could you 
please help me finding out what could be the reason behind this mismatch.


Kind Regards,
Navdeep Uniyal

Hi Navdeep,

The errors you are pointing out shouldn't cause  error while creating instance 
with SR-IOV/PCI passthrough.
They are part of the SR-IOV nic capabilities feature which is not completed yet.

Libvirt "virsh nodedev-list" command will show you the list of nic and this 
method [1] will look it in the hypervisor.
For some reason you have a mismatch here. You need to compare them.  Anyway if 
there is a mismatch it just won't report the capabilities of the nic.
As I mentioned above I think this is not the issue for the error while creating 
instance

Dear All,

I am getting an error while creating SRIOV enabled instances following the 
guide from Openstack pike 
https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/pike/admin/config-sriov.html<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.openstack.org%2Fneutron%2Fpike%2Fadmin%2Fconfig-sriov.html&data=02%7C01%7Cmoshele%40mellanox.com%7C7035d805a74d45ff0bbe08d56692fd3e%7Ca652971c7d2e4d9ba6a4d149256f461b%7C0%7C0%7C636527703870300090&sdata=Oljh3%2Ff1B%2FLCsNxHIUkS%2FgLzTBkpOY3XaWBixYKWOaQ%3D&reserved=0>



I want to start an instance on openstack pike with SRIOV enabled NICs. However, 
I am getting a Libvirt error regarding the node name. The error looks weird as 
the node name is not matching the interface name on the host machine or in the 
configuration files.

The correct interface name is enp129s0f0. However, I am getting the node name 
as net_enp129s2_b2_87_6e_13_a1_5e' which i believe is the reason behind the 
failure of vm creation on openstack. Please if someone could help me understand 
how the node name is passed on to the Libvirt from openstack or how can I 
resolve this issue.

Navdeep
