Using SR-IOV functionality in Networking Guide

[Sanjay Upadhyay]

In order to enable SR-IOV, the following steps are required:

1. Create Virtual Functions (Compute)
2. Whitelist PCI devices in nova-compute (Compute)
3. Configure neutron-server (Controller)
4. Configure nova-scheduler (Controller)
5. Enable neutron sriov-agent (Compute)

We see 5th option (Enable ) is removed via commit https://github.com/openstack/openstack-manuals/commit/04cb81976bdca2985a92f9dc9edb7181d2bc158d.

We are assuming, from the above patch, since, we need sriov-agent functionality by default we are deprecating the (enable/disable) option. We are enabling sriov-agent by default. However, Do we have to configure any configuration files for the above? ie physical_network, Physical_device?
