Patch sent to upstream: https://github.com/nmstate/nmstate/pull/2225 Considering VF might have different naming scheme, please use `sriov:<pf_name>:<vf_id>` to refer the about-to-create VF. For example: ```yml --- interfaces: - name: sriov:eth1:1 type: ethernet state: up ipv4: enabled: false ipv6: enabled: false - name: eth1 type: ethernet state: up ethernet: sr-iov: total-vfs: 2 ``` Verified with:
nmstate-2.2.7-1.el9.x86_64
nispor-1.2.10-1.el9.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.42.0-1.el9.x86_64
Linux dell-per740-68.rhts.eng.pek2.redhat.com 5.14.0-252.el9.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Feb 1 09:46:00 EST 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Both naming formats for VF work:
interfaces:
- name: ens3f0np0
type: ethernet
state: up
ethernet:
sr-iov:
total-vfs: 2
- name: ens3f0v0
state: up
type: ethernet
mtu: 5000
ipv4:
enabled: true
dhcp: true
ipv6:
enabled: true
dhcp: true
autoconf: true
- name: sriov:ens3f0np0:1
state: up
type: ethernet
mtu: 6000
ipv4:
enabled: true
dhcp: true
ipv6:
enabled: true
dhcp: true
autoconf: true

As an OpenShift cluster administrator, I would like to create SR-IOV VFs and configure them in a single context so that I can use them as gateway network interfaces for the SDN and other host services at node provision time (day-1 operations). Currently, this is not possible. The only way is to first enable the SR-IOV VFs and then (in a second context) configure them. Doing this in a two-part is not possible at node provisioning. Example: interfaces: - name: eno1 type: ethernet ethernet: sr-iov: total-vfs: 1 - name: eno1v0 type: ethernet state: up ipv4: dhcp: true enabled: true
