<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Does anyone know if it is possible to set PCI pass through on a flavor without also needing to set the alias on the nova API nodes as mentioned here:
<br>
<a href="https://docs.openstack.org/nova/pike/admin/pci-passthrough.html">https://docs.openstack.org/nova/pike/admin/pci-passthrough.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">E.G you need to set in nova.conf:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">[pci]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">alias = { "vendor_id":"8086", "product_id":"154d ", "device_type":"type-PF", "name":"a1" }<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Then you can set the flavor:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">openstack flavor set m1.large --property "pci_passthrough:alias"="a1:2"<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">E.g. I would be fine with just setting the PCI vendor/product on the flavor instead of also needing to set this at the api node<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">So something like:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">openstack flavor set m1.large –property “pci_passthrough:vendor”=”8086” “pci_passthrough:device”=”154d:1”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thx,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
