Description of problem:
If NM profiles of VF instances exists, corresponding VF creation will fail at the first time. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nmstate-1.0.2-0.20210218100459029637.pr1520.23.g0df0f6e.el8.noarch
nispor-1.0.1-3.el8.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.30.0-0.10.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
Given PF name ens2f0
1. Use nmstate to create VF by editing ens2f0.ethernet.sr-iov.total-vfs: ens2f0v0, v1, v2...
2. Use nmstate to take ens2f0vN up(state: up)
3. Use nmstate to change PF to 'state: absent'
4. Do step 1

Actual results:
failed

Hi Mingyu, currently it is strange an user will need to manage the VFs of SR-IOV. I understand this is a real problem but we are out of capacity. I am closing this as WONTFIX, please re-open if this is affecting any user.

Thanks,
Fernando.

Comment 10 Mingyu Shi 2021-07-13 09:24:53 UTC
Verified with versions:
nmstate-1.1.0-0.7.alpha7.el8.noarch
nispor-1.1.1-1.el8.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.32.2-1.el8.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
Given PF name ens2f0
1. Use nmstate to create VF by editing ens2f0.ethernet.sr-iov.total-vfs: ens2f0v0, v1, v2...
2. Use nmstate to take ens2f0vN up(state: up)
3. Use nmstate to change PF to 'state: absent'
4. Do step 1

Currently, after step 3, NM profiles of VF(ens2f0v*) will remain. Step 4 works well now..
