Hi,

On your controller node,  you can add in local.conf:

[[post-config|$NOVA_CONF]]
[DEFAULT]
scheduler_default_filters = RetryFilter, AvailabilityZoneFilter, RamFilter, ComputeFilter, ComputeCapabilitiesFilter, ImagePropertiesFilter, ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter, ServerGroupAffinityFilter, PciPassthroughFilter

On your compute node:
[[post-config|$NOVA_CONF]]
[DEFAULT]
pci_passthrough_whitelist = <your whitelist definition 1>
…
pci_passthrough_whitelist = <your whitelist definition 2>

You can get examples from the sr-iov wikis as people has pointed out from other threads.

good luck.

Hi,
I am bringing up the single node openstack cloud and having pci sriov supported nic controller (intel XL710), created 4virtual functions on top of the nic. My goal is to bring up the cloud setup with neutron and nova network services using devstack.
How to configure local.conf file  so that when any VM spawns , it used the virtual function of the sriov nic and able to communicate .

Could anyone help me ???
