Hi All,

Is there a way to successfully deploy a vm with sriov nic
on both single segment vlan network, and multi provider network,
containing vlan segment?
When nova builds pci request for nic it looks for 'physical_network'
at network level, but for multi provider networks this is set within a
segment.

e.g.
RESP BODY: {"network": {"status": "ACTIVE", "subnets":
["3862051f-de55-4bb9-8c88-acd675bb3702"], "name": "sriov",
"admin_state_up": true, "router:external": false, "segments":
[{"provider:segmentation_id": 77, "provider:physical_network": "physnet1",
"provider:network_type": "vlan"}, {"provider:segmentation_id": 35,
"provider:physical_network": null, "provider:network_type": "vxlan"}],
"mtu": 0, "tenant_id": "bd3afb5fac0745faa34713e6cada5a8d", "shared": false,
"id": "53c0e71e-4c9a-4a33-b1a0-69529583e05f"}}


So, if on compute my pci_passthrough_whitelist contains physical_network,
deployment will fail in multi segment network, and vice versa.

Thanks,
Vlad.
