Dear openstack community,

I am trying to setup pci passthrough for multiple devices types but I am getting an error while creating a new vm.


This is my pci section in nova.conf compute node

[pci]
passthrough_whitelist = [{ "vendor_id": "10de", "product_id": "1db1" }, { "vendor_id": "15b3", "product_id": "1016" }]
alias = { "vendor_id":"10de", "product_id":"1db1", "device_type":"type-PCI", "name":"nv_v100" }
alias = { "vendor_id":"15b3", "product_id":"1016", "device_type":"type-VF", "name":"mlnx_connectx4" }

I also tried this

[pci]
passthrough_whitelist = [{ "vendor_id": "10de", "product_id": "1db1" }, { "vendor_id": "15b3", "product_id": "1016" }]
alias = [{ "vendor_id":"10de", "product_id":"1db1", "device_type":"type-PCI", "name":"nv_v100" }, { "vendor_id":"15b3", "product_id":"1016", "device_type":"type-VF", "name":"mlnx_connectx4" }]


And this is the error I am getting when I try to create a new vm:

# openstack server create --flavor sriov.small   --image centos7.5-image   --availability-zone nova:zeus-59.localdomain   vm-sriov-test
PCI alias mlnx_connectx4 is not defined (HTTP 400) (Request-ID: req-aebb2d05-a557-428b-b2c6-090c16dc7c76)

how can I setup multiple aliases for different devices?

Thank you very much
