These steps assume a deployment using a Controller node, an OpenStack Networking (neutron) node, and multiple Compute (nova) nodes. This chapter contains procedures for configuring SR-IOV to pass a physical NIC through to a virtual instance. SR-IOV adds support for the concept of a virtual function which, while presented as a PCI device on the hardware, is a virtual interface that is provided by the physical function. Basic allowed-address-pairs operationsĩ.1. Configure SR-IOV in your RHEL OpenStack Platform deployment Automated port cleanup using ‘neutron-ovs-cleanup’ Create an IPv6 subnet using Stateful DHCPv6 On the network node (running the LBaaS Agent) Enable LBaaSv1 Integration with Dashboard Configure Load Balancing-as-a-Service (LBaaS) Configure Distributed Virtual Routing (DVR) Review the allow_unsafe_interrupts setting Configure an instance to use the SR-IOV port Enable the OpenStack Networking SR-IOV agent Create Virtual Functions on the Compute node Configure SR-IOV in your RHEL OpenStack Platform deployment Configure an Extreme Networks EXOS switch Planning your physical network environment Configure physical switches for OpenStack Networking Connect an instance to the physical network Perform advanced ICMP testing within the namespace Troubleshooting from within tenant networks Review the VLAN configuration and log files Installing OpenStack Networking (neutron)
