Hi Giridhar,
Changed the device_type in the alias (in nova.conf) so as to attach
physical function to the instance. Now it could ale to assign Intel QAT
device to VMs (PCI passthrough).
Here are the configuration entries in /etc/nova/nova.conf:
pci_alias = {"name": "QuickAssist", "product_id"

Hi Moshe
Hi Giridhar,
Thank you for your email.
There is a check in Nova ( get_device_type in
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py)
that determines if a given PCI device is:
1) A normal PCI device,
2) An SR-IOV physical function (PF); or
3) An SR-IOV
The alias has device_type as "type-PCI"
pci_alias = {"name": "QuickAssist", "product_id": "0435", "vendor_id": "8086",
"device_type": "type-PCI"}
But from the maria DB output, you can see that the devices are "type-PF".
Please change the device_type in the alias if you intend to attach physical
sed the PciPassthroughFilter in the nova-scheduler

Hi All,
I want the Intel’s QAT Card to be used for PCI Passthrough device. But to
implement PCI-passthrough, when I launch a VM using a flavor configured for
passthrough, it gives the below
