Adding needinfo on Derek. Derek, as discussed, we should include this request in our ongoing content strategy, so we can determine how to approach any restructuring, and where it fits into upcoming programs. Frank could you elaborate what you find as circular and confusing? I see that we tell how to configure a host https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html/installation_guide/appe-configuring_a_hypervisor_host_for_pci_passthrough how to set the number of VFs https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html-single/administration_guide/#Editing_VFs_on_NIC how to define an SR-IOV-ready vNIC Profile https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html-single/administration_guide/#Enabling_Passthrough_on_a_vNIC_Profile and a bit more to allow live migration of VMs connected to SR-IOV https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html-single/virtual_machine_management_guide/#Live_migration_prerequisites Would you like these pointers to be aggregated into an "SR-IOV user story"? Such story would have to involve multiple user roles: the host admin, the network admin and the VM admin. I think a concise set of steps would make this less painful for customers. We should not have to start in Appendix G then jump back to earlier chapters for each step. Even just a set of steps that maybe point to the already existing steps so that we can covey the exact sequence of steps required. So perhaps a story as you stated with something like this: Step 1 : Configure the host (with a link) https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html/installation_guide/appe-configuring_a_hypervisor_host_for_pci_passthrough Step 2: Set the number of VFs (with a link) https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html-single/administration_guide/#Editing_VFs_on_NIC Step 3: Define an SR-IOV-ready vNIC Profile (with a link) https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html-single/administration_guide/#Enabling_Passthrough_on_a_vNIC_Profile Step 4: Make the VM with SR-IOV capable of being migrated (with a link) https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html-single/virtual_machine_management_guide/#Live_migration_prerequisites This bug has not been marked as blocker for oVirt 4.3.0. Since we are releasing it tomorrow, January 29th, this bug has been re-targeted to 4.3.1. *** Bug 1679695 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 1706778 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 1706778 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
