I installed Redhat OpenStack Platform 7 with 1 controller and 1 compute nodes.

I want to launch an instance with PCI passthrough.

I see this error in nova-compute logs

Note: I am able to launch a VM through virt-manager ( SRIOV). However, I get the same error as pasted above when I try to launch VM with PCI passthrough

How to fix this?

Just to be sure whether the issue is related with OpenStack or something else, Trying launching a VM thorugh virt-manager with SRIOV.

Hi, have you added this to your grub conf file:

intel_iommu=on

Yes, I added intel_iommu=on in grub file and performed few steps to bind the PCI device to vfio-pci driver as per instructions in the link https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentat... However, I still get the same error
