Public bug reported: As per the documentation shown below
https://docs.openstack.org/nova/pike/admin/pci-passthrough.html In order to achieve PCI passthrough of a network device, it states that we should create a 'flavor' based on the alias and then associate a flavor to the server create function. Steps to follow: Create an Alias: [pci] alias = { "vendor_id":"8086", "product_id":"154d", "device_type":"type-PF", "name":"a1" } Create a Flavor: [pci] alias = { "vendor_id":"8086", "product_id":"154d", "device_type":"type-PF", "name":"a1" } Add a whitelist: [pci] passthrough_whitelist = { "address": "0000:41:00.0" } Create a Server with the Flavor: # openstack server create --flavor m1.large --image cirros-0.3.5-x86_64-uec --wait test-pci With the above command, the VM creation errors out and we see a PortBindingFailure. The reason for the PortBindingFailure is the 'vif_type' is always set to 'BINDING_FAILED". The reason being, flavor does not mention about the 'vnic_type'='direct- physical' without this information the sriov mechanism driver is not able to bind the port. Not sure if there is any way to specify the info in the flavor. ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: pci -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
