<group> could be an additional element in the nodedev-create XML:

    <device>
      <name>my-vgpu</name>
      <parent>pci_0000_86_00_0</parent>
      <capability type='mdev'>
        <type id='11'/>
        <uuid>0695d332-7831-493f-9e71-1c85c8911a08</uuid>
        <group>group1</group>
      </capability>
    </device>

(should group also be a UUID?)

Since John brought up the topic of minimal XML, in this case it will be
like this:

    <device>
      <name>my-vgpu</name>
      <parent>pci_0000_86_00_0</parent>
      <capability type='mdev'>
        <type id='11'/>
      </capability>
    </device>

The uuid will be autogenerated by libvirt and if there's no <group> (as
is common for VMs with only 1 vGPU) it will be a single-device group.

Thanks,

Paolo
