How to pass SR-IOV VF Nic to LXC in PVE 4.1 ?

[EluRex]

Anyone knows how to pass sr-iov VF Nic to LXC in pve 4.1?

The VF nic highlight in RED are the ones that I want to pass to LXC

I know first I must set in /etc/pve/lxc/CTID.conf

lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c XXX:* rwm (where xxx = major *=minor ids)
lxc.mount.entry = /dev/eth0 dev/eth0 none bind,optional,create=file

but I cannot find any VF eth NIC under pve host's /dev/

AFAIK they should show up on the host in `ip link` / `ifconfig`, so you should be
able to pass the interface via lxc.network.type+lxc.network.link:
eg. if it's enp5s16f1 (which I think would be the default these days for your pci ids):

lxc.network.type: phys
lxc.network.link: enp5s16f1

Note that the order is important, first .type, then .link.
