Hi Alon,

Thank you for your response.

I am using Nova flavor definition.   But  when I  launch  an instance using this new flavor, it goes into an error state

 

nova boot --flavor 4 --key_name oskey1 --image bc859dc5-103b-428b-814f-d36e59009454 --nic net-id=e2ca118d-1f25-47de-8524-bb2a2635c4be TEST


Here goes the output of nova-scheduler.log

Note that, If I set the flavor as (#nova flavor-key 4 set "pci_passthrough:alias"="QuickAssist:1")  , it assigns a single VF to VM instance. Getting issue when I try to assign  multiple VFs  per VM. Can you please suggest , where I am wrong and the way to solve this ?

Which method you are using?

Neutron sriov plugin? Nova (via flavor definition)? Neutron without sriov plugin (which I think is the best)

Thanks,

Hi ,

 

Can anyone please suggest how to assign multiple VF devices to VM instance using open-stack openstack-mitaka release? Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Hi All,

 

I have installed open-stack openstack-mitaka release on CentO7 system . It has two  Intel QAT devices. There are 32 VF devices available per QAT Device/DH895xCC device.  

 

[root@localhost nova(keystone_admin)]# lspci -nn | grep 0435

83:00.0 Co-processor [0b40]: Intel Corporation DH895XCC Series QAT [8086:0435]

88:00.0 Co-processor [0b40]: Intel Corporation DH895XCC Series QAT [8086:0435]

[root@localhost nova(keystone_admin)]# cat  /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:88\:00.0/sriov_numvfs

32

[root@localhost nova(keystone_admin)]# cat  /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:83\:00.0/sriov_numvfs

32

[root@localhost nova(keystone_admin)]#

 

Changed the nova configuration (as stated below) for exposing VF ( via PCI-passthrough)  to the instances.

 

pci_alias = {"name": "QuickAssist", "product_id": "0443", "vendor_id": "8086", "device_type": "type-VF"}

pci_passthrough_whitelist =  [{"vendor_id":"8086","product_id":"0443"}}]

Restarted the nova compute, nova API and nova scheduler service

service openstack-nova-compute restart;service openstack-nova-api restart;systemctl restart openstack-nova-scheduler;

scheduler_available_filters=nova.scheduler.filters.all_filters

scheduler_default_filters=RamFilter,ComputeFilter,AvailabilityZoneFilter,ComputeCapabilitiesFilter,ImagePropertiesFilter,PciPassthroughFilter

 

Thereafter it shows all the available VFs (64) in nova database upon   select * from pci_devices. Set the flavor  4 to allow passing two VFs  to instances.
