--- fixes: - | On some hardware platforms, an SR-IOV virtual function for a NIC port may exist without being associated with a parent physical function that has an assocatied netdev. In such a case the the PF interface name lookup will fail. As the ``PciDeviceNotFoundById`` exception was not handled this would prevent the nova compute agent from starting on affected hardware. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1915255 for more details. This edgecase has now been addressed, however, features that depend on the PF name such as minimum bandwidth based QoS cannot be supported on these platforms.
