If it's a normal PCI device or a virtual function it's considered for passthrough, if it's a PF it's not (considered to be owned by the host/hypervisor).<span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

What I understand, currently it is not possible to pass through a physical function to an OpenStack instance. Furthermore I have configured the “device_type”: “type-PCI” as stated above in nova.conf. Then why it shows “dev_type: type-PF” in MariaDB?

Can anyone please let me know is it a bug in openstack-mitaka release or I have missed anything ? Please feel free to let me know if additional information is needed.
