Hello,
I was planning on adding multiple physical functions using the built in SR-IOV
features offered by libvirt to a create a bigger pool of virtual functions
using the
<forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'> heading
(I want to be able to use more virtual machines then there are virtual
functions available on an ethernet port).
As soon as I try to define multiple physical functions in a pool, I get this
error:
error: Failed to define network from biggernetwork.xml
error: XML error: Only one <pf> element is allowed in <forward> of network
bigger network
when using this command:
sudo virsh net-define biggernetwork.xml
on the following XML document:
<network>
<name>bigger network</name>
<forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'>
<pf dev='eth5'/>
<pf dev='eth7'/>
</forward>
</network>
It seems that you are not able to add multiple physical functions to this
network to create a pool of more virtual functions.
Is there anyway that you can do this using that I am missing? I seem to be
looking at the documentation and there seems to be nothing related to this. I
think this would be extremely useful and would make automate adding virtual
functions to virtual machines much easier to manage.
Thanks in advance,
Faris
