Comment 31 for bug 1349617

Hi Irena,

I was thinking about doing it from Nova side as well. In that case, I will close 1370077 and create one from Nova side.

Hi Robert,
vnic_type was added to neutron to be used with ML2.
You can also see it in the blueprint description: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/ml2-request-vnic-type

I second Salvatore’s suggestion to default nova to VNIC_NORMAL, if binding:vnic_type is not specified by neutron.
Cheers,
Irena

Hi Irena,

Do you remember why default vnic_type was not set in neutron when you were working on adding vnic_type into the port binding? Is there any reason not to do that? As you know, nova depends on this information to determine if sr-iov port should be allocated. Just want to check with you for the fix to 1370077.

Thanks,
Robert
