<div class="yiv2392337522MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Mellanox plugin supports two types of VF provisioning , as pci passthrough (hostdev) and as macvtap (mlnx_direct) vNIC.</span></div>
<div class="yiv2392337522MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">According to the log, you want to use the first flavor (hostdev).

<div class="yiv2392337522MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">Hi there!<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I have setup a compute node with openstack networking enabled by the mellanox neutron plugin on RH6.4. 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 clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I created network, subnet and ports successfully by following this doc:<br clear="none">

<br clear="none">
I created an instance using following command:<br clear="none">
nova boot --flavor 1 --image 7f8460fd-6928-49ae-bef8-055a1de3e39a cirrOS --nic port-id=98f537b2-27dc-4583-ad1a-85edbd74987a<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The instance was in error state and eswitchd.log shows this:<br clear="none">

My queries are:<br clear="none">
- Does my setup look ok?<br clear="none">
- I guess since I am using SR-IOV, the adapter is presenting VFs as PFs to OS. Is this understanding correct?<br clear="none">
- vfs list is empty (Log says vfs=[]). Is this OK?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Please comment/advise on what could be the issue.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Thanks,<br clear="none">
