Public bug reported: qemu now supports a network driver called "igb" that simulates SR-IOV VFs[1]. Current versions of most OS distributions now include a version of qemu with this driver included.
We would like to use that in the OpenStack gates to test SR-IOV functionality in Octavia. Currently nova does not allow the "igb" driver to be specified using "hw_vif_model=igb" because it is not on the list of valid VIF_MODELS here: https://opendev.org/openstack/nova/src/branch/master/nova/network/model.py#L156 This RFE is a request to add support for the igb driver to nova. I have also registered a blueprint for this here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/igb-vif-model [1] https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/devices/igb.html ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: rfe -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
