I have enabled SR-IOV and created 4 VFs. They all show up in ifconfig. I tried creating an instance using 'nova boot' command. However it is in error state.<br><br>I created network, subnet and ports successfully by following this doc:<br>http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/applications/Mellanox-OpenStack-Solution-for-Red-Hat.pdf<br><br>I created an instance using following command:<br>nova boot --flavor 1 --image 7f8460fd-6928-49ae-bef8-055a1de3e39a cirrOS --nic port-id=98f537b2-27dc-4583-ad1a-85edbd74987a<br><br>The instance was in error state and eswitchd.log shows this:<br>2014-01-26 09:41:36,549 DEBUG PF eth4, eths=['eth6', 'eth7', 'eth8', 'eth9'], vfs=[]<br>- - - -

Is this understanding correct?<br> - vfs list is empty (Log says vfs=[]). Is
this OK?<br><br>Please comment/advise on what could be the issue.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Nishant<span><br></span></div></div></body></html>
