Based on the comments in the abandoned review [1] this is a new feature which needs a (trivial) blueprint at least. Feature requests for nova are done with blueprints [1] and with specs [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. To focus here on bugs which are a failures/errors/faults I close this one as "Invalid". The effort to implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint (and spec).

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513513 Title: Support configuration of multiple pci_alias with an array Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Opinion Bug description: Nova code doesn't currently support defining multiple pci_alias using an array. This is not aligned with packstack. See manifests/api.pp: # [*pci_alias*] # (optional) Pci passthrough for controller: # Defaults to undef # Example # "[ {'vendor_id':'1234', 'product_id':'5678', 'name':'default'}, {...} ]" Version: commit e52d236a3f1740997890cad9d4726df01d5a7e5d Merge: 961e330 86fe90f Author: Jenkins <[email protected]> Date: Thu Nov 5 01:22:54 2015 +0000 Merge "cells: add debug logging to bdm_update_or_create_at_top" Log: ERROR (BadRequest): Invalid PCI alias definition: [{u'vendor_id': u'8086', u'product_id': u'0443', u'name': u'a1'}, {u'vendor_id': u'8086', u'product_id': u'0443', u'name': u'a2'}] is not of type 'object' Failed validating 'type' in schema: {'additionalProperties': False, 'properties': {'capability_type': {'enum': ['pci'], 'type': 'string'}, 'device_type': {'enum': ['NIC', 'ACCEL', 'GPU'], 'type': 'string'}, 'name': {'maxLength': 256, 'minLength': 1, 'type': 'string'}, 'product_id': {'pattern': '^([\\da-fA-F]{4})$', 'type': 'string'}, 'vendor_id': {'pattern': '^([\\da-fA-F]{4})$', 'type': 'string'}}, 'required': ['name'], 'type': 'object'} On instance: [{u'name': u'a1', u'product_id': u'0443', u'vendor_id': u'8086'}, {u'name': u'a2', u'product_id': u'0443', u'vendor_id': u'8086'}] (HTTP 400) (Request-ID: req-3fe994bc-6a99-4c0c-be98-1a22703c58ee) Reproduce steps: 1) Configure pci_alias in nova.conf: pci_alias=[{"vendor_id":"8086", "product_id":"0443", "name":"a1"}, {"vendor_id":"8086", "product_id":"0443", "name":"a2"}] 2) Create a flavor with "pci_passthrough:alias=a1:1". 3) Boot an instance with this flavor. Expected result: Instance get successfully booted Actual result: Instance fails to start Workaround: It's possible to configure multiple pci_alias by having them each separate on their own config line: pci_alias={"vendor_id":"8086", "product_id":"0443", "name":"a1"} pci_alias={"vendor_id":"8086", "product_id":"0443", "name":"a2"} But this is still not aligned with packstack.
