Public bug reported: dev name in the pci whitelist is not honored for SRIOV
steps to reproduce: ================ 1.enable sriov in the bios in my case I have mellanox card with dual port nic which shows up in teh OS as eth4 and eth5 2.provide PCI whitelist in nova.conf pci_passthrough_whitelist = {"devname":"eth4","physical_network":"physnet1"} 3.the mlx4_core file is set as options mlx4_core port_type_array=2,2 num_vfs=6 probe_vf=6 enable_64b_cqe_eqe=0 log_num_mgm_entry_size=-1 However, the behavior seen is that irrespective of the devname specified the tenant VM gets booted into eth4 or eth5 . Tested the issue with MItaka code I am attaching the nova logs and local.conf for your reference. ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Project changed: neutron => nova -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
