[ovirt-devel] Number of VFs in oVirt SR-IOV

Hello, Since dealing with SR-IOV, we've discovered the need to persist number of virtual functions for given virtual functions. The need is actually split into 2 parts: setting the number and persisting it. Our talks have pointed to 5 choices in persistence mechanisms: * let engine set the number when host becomes operational * implement mechanism in systemd/udev * create udev rule set * persist them inside VDSM * or actually let the system administrator handle this All of these choices except for the last still need the engine to do the initial set-up. I would like to hear your opinion on persistence mechanism and splitting the choice of mechanism and means of set-up. Since persistence is currently mostly required by networking team, I propose that [1] would be accepted as the means of set-up and in future, network team would figure out and implement their preferred way of persistence.
