Bug Description

By default sriov is not enabled in this charm, but can easily enabled by running the following command

juju config neutron-openvswitch enable-sriov=true

This will install, and enable sriov as per all the templates, and works as expected. However, when we then use the same command to disable sriov, it doesn't seem to change any configuration. So the command for reference is

juju config neutron-openvswitch enable-sriov=false

Before enabling sriov, there are no files in /etc/ that have sriov in the file, or any files that have sriov in the filename.

After installation and configuration change

The files below have the sriov inside their files

root@juju-5266de-bug-test-1:/etc# egrep -r -i sriov *
default/neutron-openvswitch-networking-sriov:# auto - Set sriov_numvfs to value of sriov_totalvfs for each interface

and the following files have sriov in their name

In order to enable SRIOV /ect/default/neutron-openvswitch-networking-sriov needs to be changed, such that the following change would need to be made

Then the service neutron-sriov-agent needs to be disabled and stopped if it's running

For example, if it's been enabled, and then you disable and re-enable, the service for enabling the Neutron SRIOV plugin agent is restarted. There is no indication of the service being stopped when sriov is disabled

Steps to rectify

1. Expect the updated config above config
2. Stop and disable neutron-openvswitch-networking-sriov service
3. Stop and disable neutron-sriov-agent service
4. `/usr/local/bin/neutron-openvswitch-networking-sriov.sh --stop` may need to be run
