Hey all,

I deployed openstack on DELL PowerEdge R620 installed with Centos 7.

SR-IOV is enabled in BIOS (both Virtualization Technology & SR-IOV).

Also, I added the needed kernel parameters and created virtual functions on 82599 Intel 10G NIC.

in nova.conf:

1. pci_passthrough_whitelist={"devname":"p2p1","physical_network":"sriovnet"}
2. scheduler_default_filters=RetryFilter,AvailabilityZoneFilter,RamFilter,ComputeFilter,ComputeCapabilitiesFilter,
  ImagePropertiesFilter,CoreFilter,PciPassthroughFilter


Where did you supply the whitelist?

Also, after making the whitelist change did you check the nova-compute.log? It typically reports the PCI devices that can be used for instances.

Any idea what might be the problem here?
