commit 2c60278992d5a217241054444ed0ca6e1d2f3e5c Author: Brent Eagles <[email protected]> Date: Mon Nov 9 09:26:53 2015 -0330 Adding a VNIC type for physical functions This change adds a new VNIC type to distinguish between virtual and physical functions in SR-IOV. The new VNIC type 'direct-physical' deviates from the behavior of 'direct' VNICs for virtual functions. While neutron tracks the resource as a port, it does not currently perform any management functions. Future changes may extend the segment mapping functionality that is currently based on agent configuration to include direct types. However, the direct-physical VNICs will not have functional parity with the other SR-IOV VNIC types in that quality of service and port security functionality is not available. APIImpact DocImpact: Add description for new 'direct-physical' VNIC type.

To indicate that to nova, we need to specify we want a "physicalfunction" type of port. It's different from the ironic baremetal ports in the sense that those PFs will be memory mapped to the guest. nova spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/212472/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1500993/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
