[pci]/alias option is not present in the nova configuration on the computes

[Sai Sindhur Malleni]

[pci]/alias option is not being configured by the compute manifest. This option is needed in the nova configuration file on compute nodes starting with Ocata.

[Oliver Walsh (owalsh)]

IIRC the conclusion was that this isn't required and it was a doc issue instead

[Johan Guldmyr (jguldmyr)]

With Newton if I only have pci_alias in the api node's nova.conf, when I do a resize it says "alias not defined".

Of course it would be convenient if nova-compute asked the api node.

https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/pci-passthrough.html

"From the Newton release, to resize guest with PCI device, configure the PCI alias on the compute node as well."

[Johan Guldmyr (jguldmyr)]

Not a documentation issue. Set to status new.

[Oliver Walsh (owalsh)]

Confirmed this is expected behaviour with moshele on #openstack-nova IRC channel

    Add pci/alias to compute manifest

    Starting with Ocata pci_alias needs to be configured on compute nodes as
    well.

    This requires refactoring of the manifests as the parameter is common to
    nova::compute and nova::api.
    Common pci configuration is now done by the nova::pci class while compute
    specific configuration is done now by the nova::compute::pci class.
