On the ConnectX-7 Multi-Host Setup, the PF index is not continuous,
user need to query the PF index based on the return value of the
related sysfs entries:
cat /sys/class/net/*/phys_port_name
Example output is 0 and 2 for PF1 and PF2, then use 0 and 2 of PF index::
-a <Primary_PCI_BDF>,representor=pf[0,2]vf[0-2]
