Hi All,
I have installed open-stack openstack-mitaka release on CentO7 system . It has two Intel QAT devices. There are 32 VF devices available per QAT Device/DH895xCC device.
[root@localhost nova(keystone_admin)]# lspci -nn | grep 0435
83:00.0 Co-processor [0b40]: Intel Corporation DH895XCC Series QAT [8086:0435]
88:00.0 Co-processor [0b40]: Intel Corporation DH895XCC Series QAT [8086:0435]
[root@localhost nova(keystone_admin)]# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:88\:00.0/sriov_numvfs

[root@localhost nova(keystone_admin)]# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:83\:00.0/sriov_numvfs

[root@localhost nova(keystone_admin)]#
Changed the nova configuration (as stated below) for exposing VF ( via PCI-passthrough) to the instances.
pci_alias = {"name": "QuickAssist", "product_id": "0443", "vendor_id": "8086", "device_type": "type-VF"}
pci_passthrough_whitelist = [{"vendor_id":"8086","product_id":"0443"}}]
Restarted the nova compute, nova API and nova scheduler service
service openstack-nova-compute restart;service openstack-nova-api restart;systemctl restart openstack-nova-scheduler;
scheduler_available_filters=nova.scheduler.filters.all_filters
scheduler_default_filters=RamFilter,ComputeFilter,AvailabilityZoneFilter,ComputeCapabilitiesFilter,ImagePropertiesFilter,PciPassthroughFilter
Thereafter it shows all the available VFs (64) in nova database upon select * from pci_devices. Set the flavor 4 to allow passing two VFs to instances.

Also when I launch an instance using this new flavor, it goes into an error state

Note that, If I set the flavor as (#nova flavor-key 4 set "pci_passthrough:alias"="QuickAssist:1") , it assigns a single VF to VM instance. I think, multiple PFs can be assigned
per VM. Can anyone please suggest , where I am wrong and the way to solve this ? Thank you in advance for your support and help.

Chinmaya
