Chapter 23. Hardware networks 23.1. About Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) hardware networks The Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) specification is a standard for a type of PCI device assignment that can share a single device with multiple pods. SR-IOV can segment a compliant network device, recognized on the host node as a physical function (PF), into multiple virtual functions (VFs). The VF is used like any other network device. The SR-IOV network device driver for the device determines how the VF is exposed in the container: netdevice driver: A regular kernel network device in the netns of the container vfio-pci driver: A character device mounted in the container You can use SR-IOV network devices with additional networks on your OpenShift Container Platform cluster installed on bare metal or Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) infrastructure for applications that require high bandwidth or low latency. You can configure multi-network policies for SR-IOV networks. The support for this is technology preview and SR-IOV additional networks are only supported with kernel NICs. They are not supported for Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) applications. Note Creating multi-network policies on SR-IOV networks might not deliver the same performance to applications compared to SR-IOV networks without a multi-network policy configured. Important Multi-network policies for SR-IOV network is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . You can enable SR-IOV on a node by using the following command: USD oc label node <node_name> feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable="true" 23.1.1. Components that manage SR-IOV network devices The SR-IOV Network Operator creates and manages the components of the SR-IOV stack. It performs the following functions: Orchestrates discovery and management of SR-IOV network devices Generates NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resources for the SR-IOV Container Network Interface (CNI) Creates and updates the configuration of the SR-IOV network device plugin Creates node specific SriovNetworkNodeState custom resources Updates the spec.interfaces field in each SriovNetworkNodeState custom resource The Operator provisions the following components: SR-IOV network configuration daemon A daemon set that is deployed on worker nodes when the SR-IOV Network Operator starts. The daemon is responsible for discovering and initializing SR-IOV network devices in the cluster. SR-IOV Network Operator webhook A dynamic admission controller webhook that validates the Operator custom resource and sets appropriate default values for unset fields. SR-IOV Network resources injector A dynamic admission controller webhook that provides functionality for patching Kubernetes pod specifications with requests and limits for custom network resources such as SR-IOV VFs. The SR-IOV network resources injector adds the resource field to only the first container in a pod automatically. SR-IOV network device plugin A device plugin that discovers, advertises, and allocates SR-IOV network virtual function (VF) resources. Device plugins are used in Kubernetes to enable the use of limited resources, typically in physical devices. Device plugins give the Kubernetes scheduler awareness of resource availability, so that the scheduler can schedule pods on nodes with sufficient resources. SR-IOV CNI plugin A CNI plugin that attaches VF interfaces allocated from the SR-IOV network device plugin directly into a pod. SR-IOV InfiniBand CNI plugin A CNI plugin that attaches InfiniBand (IB) VF interfaces allocated from the SR-IOV network device plugin directly into a pod. Note The SR-IOV Network resources injector and SR-IOV Network Operator webhook are enabled by default and can be disabled by editing the default SriovOperatorConfig CR. Use caution when disabling the SR-IOV Network Operator Admission Controller webhook. You can disable the webhook under specific circumstances, such as troubleshooting, or if you want to use unsupported devices. 23.1.1.1. Supported platforms The SR-IOV Network Operator is supported on the following platforms: Bare metal Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) 23.1.1.2.

Note For the most up-to-date list of supported cards and compatible OpenShift Container Platform versions available, see Openshift Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) and PTP hardware networks Support Matrix . 23.1.1.3. Automated discovery of SR-IOV network devices The SR-IOV Network Operator searches your cluster for SR-IOV capable network devices on worker nodes. The Operator creates and updates a SriovNetworkNodeState custom resource (CR) for each worker node that provides a compatible SR-IOV network device. The CR is assigned the same name as the worker node. The status.interfaces list provides information about the network devices on a node. Important Do not modify a SriovNetworkNodeState object. The Operator creates and manages these resources automatically. 23.1.1.3.1. Example SriovNetworkNodeState object The following YAML is an example of a SriovNetworkNodeState object created by the SR-IOV Network Operator: An SriovNetworkNodeState object apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodeState metadata: name: node-25 1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator ownerReferences: - apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 blockOwnerDeletion: true controller: true kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy name: default spec: dpConfigVersion: "39824" status: interfaces: 2 - deviceID: "1017" driver: mlx5_core mtu: 1500 name: ens785f0 pciAddress: "0000:18:00.0" totalvfs: 8 vendor: 15b3 - deviceID: "1017" driver: mlx5_core mtu: 1500 name: ens785f1 pciAddress: "0000:18:00.1" totalvfs: 8 vendor: 15b3 - deviceID: 158b driver: i40e mtu: 1500 name: ens817f0 pciAddress: 0000:81:00.0 totalvfs: 64 vendor: "8086" - deviceID: 158b driver: i40e mtu: 1500 name: ens817f1 pciAddress: 0000:81:00.1 totalvfs: 64 vendor: "8086" - deviceID: 158b driver: i40e mtu: 1500 name: ens803f0 pciAddress: 0000:86:00.0 totalvfs: 64 vendor: "8086" syncStatus: Succeeded 1 The value of the name field is the same as the name of the worker node. 2 The interfaces stanza includes a list of all of the SR-IOV devices discovered by the Operator on the worker node. 23.1.1.4. Example use of a virtual function in a pod You can run a remote direct memory access (RDMA) or a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) application in a pod with SR-IOV VF attached. This example shows a pod using a virtual function (VF) in RDMA mode: Pod spec that uses RDMA mode apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: rdma-app annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: sriov-rdma-mlnx spec: containers: - name: testpmd image: <RDMA_image> imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent securityContext: runAsUser: 0 capabilities: add: ["IPC_LOCK","SYS_RESOURCE","NET_RAW"] command: ["sleep", "infinity"] The following example shows a pod with a VF in DPDK mode: Pod spec that uses DPDK mode apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: dpdk-app annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: sriov-dpdk-net spec: containers: - name: testpmd image: <DPDK_image> securityContext: runAsUser: 0 capabilities: add: ["IPC_LOCK","SYS_RESOURCE","NET_RAW"] volumeMounts: - mountPath: /dev/hugepages name: hugepage resources: limits: memory: "1Gi" cpu: "2" hugepages-1Gi: "4Gi" requests: memory: "1Gi" cpu: "2" hugepages-1Gi: "4Gi" command: ["sleep", "infinity"] volumes: - name: hugepage emptyDir: medium: HugePages 23.1.1.5. DPDK library for use with container applications An optional library , app-netutil , provides several API methods for gathering network information about a pod from within a container running within that pod. This library can assist with integrating SR-IOV virtual functions (VFs) in Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) mode into the container. The library provides both a Golang API and a C API. Currently there are three API methods implemented: GetCPUInfo() This function determines which CPUs are available to the container and returns the list. GetHugepages() This function determines the amount of huge page memory requested in the Pod spec for each container and returns the values. GetInterfaces() This function determines the set of interfaces in the container and returns the list. The return value includes the interface type and type-specific data for each interface. The repository for the library includes a sample Dockerfile to build a container image, dpdk-app-centos . The container image can run one of the following DPDK sample applications, depending on an environment variable in the pod specification: l2fwd , l3wd or testpmd . The container image provides an example of integrating the app-netutil library into the container image itself. The library can also integrate into an init container. The init container can collect the required data and pass the data to an existing DPDK workload. 23.1.1.6. Huge pages resource injection for Downward API When a pod specification includes a resource request or limit for huge pages, the Network Resources Injector automatically adds Downward API fields to the pod specification to provide the huge pages information to the container. The Network Resources Injector adds a volume that is named podnetinfo and is mounted at /etc/podnetinfo for each container in the pod. The volume uses the Downward API and includes a file for huge pages requests and limits. The file naming convention is as follows: /etc/podnetinfo/hugepages_1G_request_<container-name> /etc/podnetinfo/hugepages_1G_limit_<container-name> /etc/podnetinfo/hugepages_2M_request_<container-name> /etc/podnetinfo/hugepages_2M_limit_<container-name> The paths specified in the list are compatible with the app-netutil library. By default, the library is configured to search for resource information in the /etc/podnetinfo directory. If you choose to specify the Downward API path items yourself manually, the app-netutil library searches for the following paths in addition to the paths in the list. /etc/podnetinfo/hugepages_request /etc/podnetinfo/hugepages_limit /etc/podnetinfo/hugepages_1G_request /etc/podnetinfo/hugepages_1G_limit /etc/podnetinfo/hugepages_2M_request /etc/podnetinfo/hugepages_2M_limit As with the paths that the Network Resources Injector can create, the paths in the preceding list can optionally end with a _<container-name> suffix. 23.1.2.

Configuring the SR-IOV Network Operator The Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Network Operator manages the SR-IOV network devices and network attachments in your cluster. 23.3.1. Configuring the SR-IOV Network Operator Important Modifying the SR-IOV Network Operator configuration is not normally necessary. The default configuration is recommended for most use cases. Complete the steps to modify the relevant configuration only if the default behavior of the Operator is not compatible with your use case. The SR-IOV Network Operator adds the SriovOperatorConfig.sriovnetwork.openshift.io CustomResourceDefinition resource. The Operator automatically creates a SriovOperatorConfig custom resource (CR) named default in the openshift-sriov-network-operator namespace. Note The default CR contains the SR-IOV Network Operator configuration for your cluster. To change the Operator configuration, you must modify this CR. 23.3.1.1. SR-IOV Network Operator config custom resource The fields for the sriovoperatorconfig custom resource are described in the following table: Table 23.2. SR-IOV Network Operator config custom resource Field Type Description metadata.name string Specifies the name of the SR-IOV Network Operator instance. The default value is default . Do not set a different value. metadata.namespace string Specifies the namespace of the SR-IOV Network Operator instance. The default value is openshift-sriov-network-operator . Do not set a different value. spec.configDaemonNodeSelector string Specifies the node selection to control scheduling the SR-IOV Network Config Daemon on selected nodes. By default, this field is not set and the Operator deploys the SR-IOV Network Config daemon set on worker nodes. spec.disableDrain boolean Specifies whether to disable the node draining process or enable the node draining process when you apply a new policy to configure the NIC on a node. Setting this field to true facilitates software development and installing OpenShift Container Platform on a single node. By default, this field is not set. For single-node clusters, set this field to true after installing the Operator. This field must remain set to true . spec.enableInjector boolean Specifies whether to enable or disable the Network Resources Injector daemon set. By default, this field is set to true . spec.enableOperatorWebhook boolean Specifies whether to enable or disable the Operator Admission Controller webhook daemon set. By default, this field is set to true . spec.logLevel integer Specifies the log verbosity level of the Operator. Set to 0 to show only the basic logs. Set to 2 to show all the available logs. By default, this field is set to 2 . 23.3.1.2. About the Network Resources Injector The Network Resources Injector is a Kubernetes Dynamic Admission Controller application. It provides the following capabilities: Mutation of resource requests and limits in a pod specification to add an SR-IOV resource name according to an SR-IOV network attachment definition annotation. Mutation of a pod specification with a Downward API volume to expose pod annotations, labels, and huge pages requests and limits. Containers that run in the pod can access the exposed information as files under the /etc/podnetinfo path. By default, the Network Resources Injector is enabled by the SR-IOV Network Operator and runs as a daemon set on all control plane nodes. The following is an example of Network Resources Injector pods running in a cluster with three control plane nodes: USD oc get pods -n openshift-sriov-network-operator Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE network-resources-injector-5cz5p 1/1 Running 0 10m network-resources-injector-dwqpx 1/1 Running 0 10m network-resources-injector-lktz5 1/1 Running 0 10m 23.3.1.3. About the SR-IOV Network Operator admission controller webhook The SR-IOV Network Operator Admission Controller webhook is a Kubernetes Dynamic Admission Controller application. It provides the following capabilities: Validation of the SriovNetworkNodePolicy CR when it is created or updated. Mutation of the SriovNetworkNodePolicy CR by setting the default value for the priority and deviceType fields when the CR is created or updated. By default the SR-IOV Network Operator Admission Controller webhook is enabled by the Operator and runs as a daemon set on all control plane nodes. Note Use caution when disabling the SR-IOV Network Operator Admission Controller webhook. You can disable the webhook under specific circumstances, such as troubleshooting, or if you want to use unsupported devices. For information about configuring unsupported devices, see Configuring the SR-IOV Network Operator to use an unsupported NIC . The following is an example of the Operator Admission Controller webhook pods running in a cluster with three control plane nodes: USD oc get pods -n openshift-sriov-network-operator Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE operator-webhook-9jkw6 1/1 Running 0 16m operator-webhook-kbr5p 1/1 Running 0 16m operator-webhook-rpfrl 1/1 Running 0 16m 23.3.1.4. About custom node selectors The SR-IOV Network Config daemon discovers and configures the SR-IOV network devices on cluster nodes. By default, it is deployed to all the worker nodes in the cluster. You can use node labels to specify on which nodes the SR-IOV Network Config daemon runs. 23.3.1.5. Disabling or enabling the Network Resources Injector To disable or enable the Network Resources Injector, which is enabled by default, complete the following procedure. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You must have installed the SR-IOV Network Operator. Procedure Set the enableInjector field. Replace <value> with false to disable the feature or true to enable the feature. USD oc patch sriovoperatorconfig default \ --type=merge -n openshift-sriov-network-operator \ --patch '{ "spec": { "enableInjector": <value> } }' Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to update the Operator: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovOperatorConfig metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: enableInjector: <value> 23.3.1.6. Disabling or enabling the SR-IOV Network Operator admission controller webhook To disable or enable the admission controller webhook, which is enabled by default, complete the following procedure. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You must have installed the SR-IOV Network Operator. Procedure Set the enableOperatorWebhook field. Replace <value> with false to disable the feature or true to enable it: USD oc patch sriovoperatorconfig default --type=merge \ -n openshift-sriov-network-operator \ --patch '{ "spec": { "enableOperatorWebhook": <value> } }' Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to update the Operator: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovOperatorConfig metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: enableOperatorWebhook: <value> 23.3.1.7. Configuring a custom NodeSelector for the SR-IOV Network Config daemon The SR-IOV Network Config daemon discovers and configures the SR-IOV network devices on cluster nodes. By default, it is deployed to all the worker nodes in the cluster. You can use node labels to specify on which nodes the SR-IOV Network Config daemon runs. To specify the nodes where the SR-IOV Network Config daemon is deployed, complete the following procedure. Important When you update the configDaemonNodeSelector field, the SR-IOV Network Config daemon is recreated on each selected node. While the daemon is recreated, cluster users are unable to apply any new SR-IOV Network node policy or create new SR-IOV pods. Procedure To update the node selector for the operator, enter the following command: USD oc patch sriovoperatorconfig default --type=json \ -n openshift-sriov-network-operator \ --patch '[{ "op": "replace", "path": "/spec/configDaemonNodeSelector", "value": {<node_label>} }]' Replace <node_label> with a label to apply as in the following example: "node-role.kubernetes.io/worker": "" . Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to update the Operator: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovOperatorConfig metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: configDaemonNodeSelector: <node_label> 23.3.1.8. Configuring the SR-IOV Network Operator for single node installations By default, the SR-IOV Network Operator drains workloads from a node before every policy change. The Operator performs this action to ensure that there no workloads using the virtual functions before the reconfiguration. For installations on a single node, there are no other nodes to receive the workloads. As a result, the Operator must be configured not to drain the workloads from the single node. Important After performing the following procedure to disable draining workloads, you must remove any workload that uses an SR-IOV network interface before you change any SR-IOV network node policy. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You must have installed the SR-IOV Network Operator. Procedure To set the disableDrain field to true , enter the following command: USD oc patch sriovoperatorconfig default --type=merge \ -n openshift-sriov-network-operator \ --patch '{ "spec": { "disableDrain": true } }' Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to update the Operator: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovOperatorConfig metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: disableDrain: true 23.3.1.9. Deploying the SR-IOV Operator for hosted control planes Important Hosted control planes on the AWS platform is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . After you configure and deploy your hosting service cluster, you can create a subscription to the SR-IOV Operator on a hosted cluster. The SR-IOV pod runs on worker machines rather than the control plane. Prerequisites You must configure and deploy the hosted cluster on AWS. For more information, see Configuring the hosting cluster on AWS (Technology Preview) . Procedure Create a namespace and an Operator group: apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: openshift-sriov-network-operator --- apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1 kind: OperatorGroup metadata: name: sriov-network-operators namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: targetNamespaces: - openshift-sriov-network-operator Create a subscription to the SR-IOV Operator: apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: name: sriov-network-operator-subsription namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: channel: stable name: sriov-network-operator config: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" source: s/qe-app-registry/redhat-operators sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace Verification To verify that the SR-IOV Operator is ready, run the following command and view the resulting output: USD oc get csv -n openshift-sriov-network-operator Example output NAME DISPLAY VERSION REPLACES PHASE sriov-network-operator.4.14.0-202211021237 SR-IOV Network Operator 4.14.0-202211021237 sriov-network-operator.4.14.0-202210290517 Succeeded To verify that the SR-IOV pods are deployed, run the following command: USD oc get pods -n openshift-sriov-network-operator 23.3.2. steps Configuring an SR-IOV network device 23.4. Configuring an SR-IOV network device You can configure a Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) device in your cluster. 23.4.1. SR-IOV network node configuration object You specify the SR-IOV network device configuration for a node by creating an SR-IOV network node policy. The API object for the policy is part of the sriovnetwork.openshift.io API group. The following YAML describes an SR-IOV network node policy: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: <name> 1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator 2 spec: resourceName: <sriov_resource_name> 3 nodeSelector: feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" 4 priority: <priority> 5 mtu: <mtu> 6 needVhostNet: false 7 numVfs: <num> 8 externallyManaged: false 9 nicSelector: 10 vendor: "<vendor_code>" 11 deviceID: "<device_id>" 12 pfNames: ["<pf_name>", ...] 13 rootDevices: ["<pci_bus_id>", ...] 14 netFilter: "<filter_string>" 15 deviceType: <device_type> 16 isRdma: false 17 linkType: <link_type> 18 eSwitchMode: "switchdev" 19 excludeTopology: false 20 1 The name for the custom resource object. 2 The namespace where the SR-IOV Network Operator is installed. 3 The resource name of the SR-IOV network device plugin. You can create multiple SR-IOV network node policies for a resource name. When specifying a name, be sure to use the accepted syntax expression ^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+USD in the resourceName . 4 The node selector specifies the nodes to configure. Only SR-IOV network devices on the selected nodes are configured. The SR-IOV Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin and device plugin are deployed on selected nodes only. Important The SR-IOV Network Operator applies node network configuration policies to nodes in sequence. Before applying node network configuration policies, the SR-IOV Network Operator checks if the machine config pool (MCP) for a node is in an unhealthy state such as Degraded or Updating . If a node is in an unhealthy MCP, the process of applying node network configuration policies to all targeted nodes in the cluster pauses until the MCP returns to a healthy state. To avoid a node in an unhealthy MCP from blocking the application of node network configuration policies to other nodes, including nodes in other MCPs, you must create a separate node network configuration policy for each MCP. 5 Optional: The priority is an integer value between 0 and 99 . A smaller value receives higher priority. For example, a priority of 10 is a higher priority than 99 . The default value is 99 . 6 Optional: The maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the physical function and all its virtual functions. The maximum MTU value can vary for different network interface controller (NIC) models. Important If you want to create virtual function on the default network interface, ensure that the MTU is set to a value that matches the cluster MTU. If you want to modify the MTU of a single virtual function while the function is assigned to a pod, leave the MTU value blank in the SR-IOV network node policy. Otherwise, the SR-IOV Network Operator reverts the MTU of the virtual function to the MTU value defined in the SR-IOV network node policy, which might trigger a node drain. 7 Optional: Set needVhostNet to true to mount the /dev/vhost-net device in the pod. Use the mounted /dev/vhost-net device with Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) to forward traffic to the kernel network stack. 8 The number of the virtual functions (VF) to create for the SR-IOV physical network device. For an Intel network interface controller (NIC), the number of VFs cannot be larger than the total VFs supported by the device. For a Mellanox NIC, the number of VFs cannot be larger than 127 . 9 The externallyManaged field indicates whether the SR-IOV Network Operator manages all, or only a subset of virtual functions (VFs). With the value set to false the SR-IOV Network Operator manages and configures all VFs on the PF. Note When externallyManaged is set to true , you must manually create the Virtual Functions (VFs) on the physical function (PF) before applying the SriovNetworkNodePolicy resource. If the VFs are not pre-created, the SR-IOV Network Operator's webhook will block the policy request. When externallyManaged is set to false , the SR-IOV Network Operator automatically creates and manages the VFs, including resetting them if necessary. To use VFs on the host system, you must create them through NMState, and set externallyManaged to true . In this mode, the SR-IOV Network Operator does not modify the PF or the manually managed VFs, except for those explicitly defined in the nicSelector field of your policy. However, the SR-IOV Network Operator continues to manage VFs that are used as pod secondary interfaces. 10 The NIC selector identifies the device to which this resource applies. You do not have to specify values for all the parameters. It is recommended to identify the network device with enough precision to avoid selecting a device unintentionally. If you specify rootDevices , you must also specify a value for vendor , deviceID , or pfNames . If you specify both pfNames and rootDevices at the same time, ensure that they refer to the same device. If you specify a value for netFilter , then you do not need to specify any other parameter because a network ID is unique. 11 Optional: The vendor hexadecimal vendor identifier of the SR-IOV network device. The only allowed values are 8086 (Intel) and 15b3 (Mellanox). 12 Optional: The device hexadecimal device identifier of the SR-IOV network device. For example, 101b is the device ID for a Mellanox ConnectX-6 device. 13 Optional: An array of one or more physical function (PF) names the resource must apply to. 14 Optional: An array of one or more PCI bus addresses the resource must apply to. For example 0000:02:00.1 . 15 Optional: The platform-specific network filter. The only supported platform is Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). Acceptable values use the following format: openstack/NetworkID:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx . Replace xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx with the value from the /var/config/openstack/latest/network_data.json metadata file. This filter ensures that VFs are associated with a specific OpenStack network. The operator uses this filter to map the VFs to the appropriate network based on metadata provided by the OpenStack platform. 16 Optional: The driver to configure for the VFs created from this resource. The only allowed values are netdevice and vfio-pci . The default value is netdevice . For a Mellanox NIC to work in DPDK mode on bare metal nodes, use the netdevice driver type and set isRdma to true . 17 Optional: Configures whether to enable remote direct memory access (RDMA) mode. The default value is false . If the isRdma parameter is set to true , you can continue to use the RDMA-enabled VF as a normal network device. A device can be used in either mode. Set isRdma to true and additionally set needVhostNet to true to configure a Mellanox NIC for use with Fast Datapath DPDK applications. Note You cannot set the isRdma parameter to true for intel NICs. 18 Optional: The link type for the VFs. The default value is eth for Ethernet. Change this value to 'ib' for InfiniBand. When linkType is set to ib , isRdma is automatically set to true by the SR-IOV Network Operator webhook. When linkType is set to ib , deviceType should not be set to vfio-pci . Do not set linkType to eth for SriovNetworkNodePolicy, because this can lead to an incorrect number of available devices reported by the device plugin. 19 Optional: To enable hardware offloading, you must set the eSwitchMode field to "switchdev" . For more information about hardware offloading, see "Configuring hardware offloading". 20 Optional: To exclude advertising an SR-IOV network resource's NUMA node to the Topology Manager, set the value to true . The default value is false . 23.4.1.1. SR-IOV network node configuration examples The following example describes the configuration for an InfiniBand device: Example configuration for an InfiniBand device apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: policy-ib-net-1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: resourceName: ibnic1 nodeSelector: feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" numVfs: 4 nicSelector: vendor: "15b3" deviceID: "101b" rootDevices: - "0000:19:00.0" linkType: ib isRdma: true The following example describes the configuration for an SR-IOV network device in a RHOSP virtual machine: Example configuration for an SR-IOV device in a virtual machine apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: policy-sriov-net-openstack-1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: resourceName: sriovnic1 nodeSelector: feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" numVfs: 1 1 nicSelector: vendor: "15b3" deviceID: "101b" netFilter: "openstack/NetworkID:ea24bd04-8674-4f69-b0ee-fa0b3bd20509" 2 1 The numVfs field is always set to 1 when configuring the node network policy for a virtual machine. 2 The netFilter field must refer to a network ID when the virtual machine is deployed on RHOSP. Valid values for netFilter are available from an SriovNetworkNodeState object. 23.4.1.2. Virtual function (VF) partitioning for SR-IOV devices In some cases, you might want to split virtual functions (VFs) from the same physical function (PF) into multiple resource pools. For example, you might want some of the VFs to load with the default driver and the remaining VFs load with the vfio-pci driver. In such a deployment, the pfNames selector in your SriovNetworkNodePolicy custom resource (CR) can be used to specify a range of VFs for a pool using the following format: <pfname>#<first_vf>-<last_vf> . For example, the following YAML shows the selector for an interface named netpf0 with VF 2 through 7 : pfNames: ["netpf0#2-7"] netpf0 is the PF interface name. 2 is the first VF index (0-based) that is included in the range. 7 is the last VF index (0-based) that is included in the range. You can select VFs from the same PF by using different policy CRs if the following requirements are met: The numVfs value must be identical for policies that select the same PF. The VF index must be in the range of 0 to <numVfs>-1 . For example, if you have a policy with numVfs set to 8 , then the <first_vf> value must not be smaller than 0 , and the <last_vf> must not be larger than 7 . The VFs ranges in different policies must not overlap. The <first_vf> must not be larger than the <last_vf> . The following example illustrates NIC partitioning for an SR-IOV device. The policy policy-net-1 defines a resource pool net-1 that contains the VF 0 of PF netpf0 with the default VF driver. The policy policy-net-1-dpdk defines a resource pool net-1-dpdk that contains the VF 8 to 15 of PF netpf0 with the vfio VF driver. Policy policy-net-1 : apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: policy-net-1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: resourceName: net1 nodeSelector: feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" numVfs: 16 nicSelector: pfNames: ["netpf0#0-0"] deviceType: netdevice Policy policy-net-1-dpdk : apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: policy-net-1-dpdk namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: resourceName: net1dpdk nodeSelector: feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" numVfs: 16 nicSelector: pfNames: ["netpf0#8-15"] deviceType: vfio-pci Verifying that the interface is successfully partitioned Confirm that the interface partitioned to virtual functions (VFs) for the SR-IOV device by running the following command. USD ip link show <interface> 1 1 Replace <interface> with the interface that you specified when partitioning to VFs for the SR-IOV device, for example, ens3f1 . Example output 5: ens3f1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 3c:fd:fe:d1:bc:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff vf 0 link/ether 5a:e7:88:25:ea:a0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, spoof checking on, link-state auto, trust off vf 1 link/ether 3e:1d:36:d7:3d:49 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, spoof checking on, link-state auto, trust off vf 2 link/ether ce:09:56:97:df:f9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, spoof checking on, link-state auto, trust off vf 3 link/ether 5e:91:cf:88:d1:38 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, spoof checking on, link-state auto, trust off vf 4 link/ether e6:06:a1:96:2f:de brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, spoof checking on, link-state auto, trust off 23.4.2. Configuring SR-IOV network devices The SR-IOV Network Operator adds the SriovNetworkNodePolicy.sriovnetwork.openshift.io CustomResourceDefinition to OpenShift Container Platform. You can configure an SR-IOV network device by creating a SriovNetworkNodePolicy custom resource (CR). Note When applying the configuration specified in a SriovNetworkNodePolicy object, the SR-IOV Operator might drain the nodes, and in some cases, reboot nodes. It might take several minutes for a configuration change to apply. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have installed the SR-IOV Network Operator. You have enough available nodes in your cluster to handle the evicted workload from drained nodes. You have not selected any control plane nodes for SR-IOV network device configuration. Procedure Create an SriovNetworkNodePolicy object, and then save the YAML in the <name>-sriov-node-network.yaml file. Replace <name> with the name for this configuration. Optional: Label the SR-IOV capable cluster nodes with SriovNetworkNodePolicy.Spec.NodeSelector if they are not already labeled. For more information about labeling nodes, see "Understanding how to update labels on nodes". Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object: USD oc create -f <name>-sriov-node-network.yaml where <name> specifies the name for this configuration. After applying the configuration update, all the pods in sriov-network-operator namespace transition to the Running status. To verify that the SR-IOV network device is configured, enter the following command. Replace <node_name> with the name of a node with the SR-IOV network device that you just configured. USD oc get sriovnetworknodestates -n openshift-sriov-network-operator <node_name> -o jsonpath='{.status.syncStatus}' Additional resources Understanding how to update labels on nodes . 23.4.2.1. Configuring parallel node draining during SR-IOV network policy updates By default, the SR-IOV Network Operator drains workloads from a node before every policy change. The Operator completes this action, one node at a time, to ensure that no workloads are affected by the reconfiguration. In large clusters, draining nodes sequentially can be time-consuming, taking hours or even days. In time-sensitive environments, you can enable parallel node draining in an SriovNetworkPoolConfig custom resource (CR) for faster rollouts of SR-IOV network configurations. To configure parallel draining, use the SriovNetworkPoolConfig CR to create a node pool. You can then add nodes to the pool and define the maximum number of nodes in the pool that the Operator can drain in parallel. With this approach, you can enable parallel draining for faster reconfiguration while ensuring you still have enough nodes remaining in the pool to handle any running workloads. Note A node can belong to only one SR-IOV network pool configuration. If a node is not part of a pool, it is added to a virtual, default pool that is configured to drain one node at a time only. The node might restart during the draining process. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Install the SR-IOV Network Operator. Ensure that nodes have hardware that supports SR-IOV. Procedure Create a SriovNetworkPoolConfig resource: Create a YAML file that defines the SriovNetworkPoolConfig resource: Example sriov-nw-pool.yaml file apiVersion: v1 kind: SriovNetworkPoolConfig metadata: name: pool-1 1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator 2 spec: maxUnavailable: 2 3 nodeSelector: 4 matchLabels: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" 1 Specify the name of the SriovNetworkPoolConfig object. 2 Specify namespace where the SR-IOV Network Operator is installed. 3 Specify an integer number or percentage value for nodes that can be unavailable in the pool during an update. For example, if you have 10 nodes and you set the maximum unavailable value to 2, then only 2 nodes can be drained in parallel at any time, leaving 8 nodes for handling workloads. 4 Specify the nodes to add the pool by using the node selector. This example adds all nodes with the worker role to the pool. Create the SriovNetworkPoolConfig resource by running the following command: USD oc create -f sriov-nw-pool.yaml Create the sriov-test namespace by running the following comand: USD oc create namespace sriov-test Create a SriovNetworkNodePolicy resource: Create a YAML file that defines the SriovNetworkNodePolicy resource: Example sriov-node-policy.yaml file apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: sriov-nic-1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: deviceType: netdevice nicSelector: pfNames: ["ens1"] nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" numVfs: 5 priority: 99 resourceName: sriov_nic_1 Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy resource by running the following command: USD oc create -f sriov-node-policy.yaml Create a SriovNetwork resource: Create a YAML file that defines the SriovNetwork resource: Example sriov-network.yaml file apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: sriov-nic-1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: linkState: auto networkNamespace: sriov-test resourceName: sriov_nic_1 capabilities: '{ "mac": true, "ips": true }' ipam: '{ "type": "static" }' Create the SriovNetwork resource by running the following command: USD oc create -f sriov-network.yaml Verification View the node pool you created by running the following command: USD oc get sriovNetworkpoolConfig -n openshift-sriov-network-operator Example output NAME AGE pool-1 67s 1 1 In this example, pool-1 contains all the nodes with the worker role. To demonstrate the node draining process by using the example scenario from the procedure, complete the following steps: Update the number of virtual functions in the SriovNetworkNodePolicy resource to trigger workload draining in the cluster: USD oc patch SriovNetworkNodePolicy sriov-nic-1 -n openshift-sriov-network-operator --type merge -p '{"spec": {"numVfs": 4}}' Monitor the draining status on the target cluster by running the following command: USD oc get sriovNetworkNodeState -n openshift-sriov-network-operator Example output NAMESPACE NAME SYNC STATUS DESIRED SYNC STATE CURRENT SYNC STATE AGE openshift-sriov-network-operator worker-0 InProgress Drain_Required DrainComplete 3d10h openshift-sriov-network-operator worker-1 InProgress Drain_Required DrainComplete 3d10h When the draining process is complete, the SYNC STATUS changes to Succeeded , and the DESIRED SYNC STATE and CURRENT SYNC STATE values return to IDLE . Example output NAMESPACE NAME SYNC STATUS DESIRED SYNC STATE CURRENT SYNC STATE AGE openshift-sriov-network-operator worker-0 Succeeded Idle Idle 3d10h openshift-sriov-network-operator worker-1 Succeeded Idle Idle 3d10h 23.4.3. Troubleshooting SR-IOV configuration After following the procedure to configure an SR-IOV network device, the following sections address some error conditions. To display the state of nodes, run the following command: USD oc get sriovnetworknodestates -n openshift-sriov-network-operator <node_name> where: <node_name> specifies the name of a node with an SR-IOV network device. Error output: Cannot allocate memory "lastSyncError": "write /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:3b:00.1/sriov_numvfs: cannot allocate memory" When a node indicates that it cannot allocate memory, check the following items: Confirm that global SR-IOV settings are enabled in the BIOS for the node. Confirm that VT-d is enabled in the BIOS for the node. 23.4.4. Assigning an SR-IOV network to a VRF As a cluster administrator, you can assign an SR-IOV network interface to your VRF domain by using the CNI VRF plugin. To do this, add the VRF configuration to the optional metaPlugins parameter of the SriovNetwork resource. Note Applications that use VRFs need to bind to a specific device. The common usage is to use the SO_BINDTODEVICE option for a socket. SO_BINDTODEVICE binds the socket to a device that is specified in the passed interface name, for example, eth1 . To use SO_BINDTODEVICE , the application must have CAP_NET_RAW capabilities. Using a VRF through the ip vrf exec command is not supported in OpenShift Container Platform pods. To use VRF, bind applications directly to the VRF interface. 23.4.4.1. Creating an additional SR-IOV network attachment with the CNI VRF plugin The SR-IOV Network Operator manages additional network definitions. When you specify an additional SR-IOV network to create, the SR-IOV Network Operator creates the NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resource (CR) automatically. Note Do not edit NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resources that the SR-IOV Network Operator manages. Doing so might disrupt network traffic on your additional network. To create an additional SR-IOV network attachment with the CNI VRF plugin, perform the following procedure. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift Container Platform CLI (oc). Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create the SriovNetwork custom resource (CR) for the additional SR-IOV network attachment and insert the metaPlugins configuration, as in the following example CR. Save the YAML as the file sriov-network-attachment.yaml . apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: example-network namespace: additional-sriov-network-1 spec: ipam: | { "type": "host-local", "subnet": "10.56.217.0/24", "rangeStart": "10.56.217.171", "rangeEnd": "10.56.217.181", "routes": [{ "dst": "0.0.0.0/0" }], "gateway": "10.56.217.1" } vlan: 0 resourceName: intelnics metaPlugins : | { "type": "vrf", 1 "vrfname": "example-vrf-name" 2 } 1 type must be set to vrf . 2 vrfname is the name of the VRF that the interface is assigned to. If it does not exist in the pod, it is created. Create the SriovNetwork resource: USD oc create -f sriov-network-attachment.yaml Verifying that the NetworkAttachmentDefinition CR is successfully created Confirm that the SR-IOV Network Operator created the NetworkAttachmentDefinition CR by running the following command. USD oc get network-attachment-definitions -n <namespace> 1 1 Replace <namespace> with the namespace that you specified when configuring the network attachment, for example, additional-sriov-network-1 . Example output NAME AGE additional-sriov-network-1 14m Note There might be a delay before the SR-IOV Network Operator creates the CR. Verifying that the additional SR-IOV network attachment is successful To verify that the VRF CNI is correctly configured and the additional SR-IOV network attachment is attached, do the following: Create an SR-IOV network that uses the VRF CNI. Assign the network to a pod. Verify that the pod network attachment is connected to the SR-IOV additional network. Remote shell into the pod and run the following command: USD ip vrf show Example output Name Table ----------------------- red 10 Confirm the VRF interface is master of the secondary interface: USD ip link Example output ... 5: net1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master red state UP mode ... 23.4.5. Exclude the SR-IOV network topology for NUMA-aware scheduling You can exclude advertising the Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) node for the SR-IOV network to the Topology Manager for more flexible SR-IOV network deployments during NUMA-aware pod scheduling. In some scenarios, it is a priority to maximize CPU and memory resources for a pod on a single NUMA node. By not providing a hint to the Topology Manager about the NUMA node for the pod's SR-IOV network resource, the Topology Manager can deploy the SR-IOV network resource and the pod CPU and memory resources to different NUMA nodes. This can add to network latency because of the data transfer between NUMA nodes. However, it is acceptable in scenarios when workloads require optimal CPU and memory performance. For example, consider a compute node, compute-1 , that features two NUMA nodes: numa0 and numa1 . The SR-IOV-enabled NIC is present on numa0 . The CPUs available for pod scheduling are present on numa1 only. By setting the excludeTopology specification to true , the Topology Manager can assign CPU and memory resources for the pod to numa1 and can assign the SR-IOV network resource for the same pod to numa0 . This is only possible when you set the excludeTopology specification to true . Otherwise, the Topology Manager attempts to place all resources on the same NUMA node. 23.4.5.1. Excluding the SR-IOV network topology for NUMA-aware scheduling To exclude advertising the SR-IOV network resource's Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) node to the Topology Manager, you can configure the excludeTopology specification in the SriovNetworkNodePolicy custom resource. Use this configuration for more flexible SR-IOV network deployments during NUMA-aware pod scheduling. Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have configured the CPU Manager policy to static . For more information about CPU Manager, see the Additional resources section. You have configured the Topology Manager policy to single-numa-node . You have installed the SR-IOV Network Operator. Procedure Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy CR: Save the following YAML in the sriov-network-node-policy.yaml file, replacing values in the YAML to match your environment: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: <policy_name> namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: resourceName: sriovnuma0 1 nodeSelector: kubernetes.io/hostname: <node_name> numVfs: <number_of_Vfs> nicSelector: 2 vendor: "<vendor_ID>" deviceID: "<device_ID>" deviceType: netdevice excludeTopology: true 3 1 The resource name of the SR-IOV network device plugin. This YAML uses a sample resourceName value. 2 Identify the device for the Operator to configure by using the NIC selector. 3 To exclude advertising the NUMA node for the SR-IOV network resource to the Topology Manager, set the value to true . The default value is false . Note If multiple SriovNetworkNodePolicy resources target the same SR-IOV network resource, the SriovNetworkNodePolicy resources must have the same value as the excludeTopology specification. Otherwise, the conflicting policy is rejected. Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy resource by running the following command: USD oc create -f sriov-network-node-policy.yaml Example output sriovnetworknodepolicy.sriovnetwork.openshift.io/policy-for-numa-0 created Create the SriovNetwork CR: Save the following YAML in the sriov-network.yaml file, replacing values in the YAML to match your environment: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: sriov-numa-0-network 1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: resourceName: sriovnuma0 2 networkNamespace: <namespace> 3 ipam: |- 4 { "type": "<ipam_type>", } 1 Replace sriov-numa-0-network with the name for the SR-IOV network resource. 2 Specify the resource name for the SriovNetworkNodePolicy CR from the step. This YAML uses a sample resourceName value. 3 Enter the namespace for your SR-IOV network resource. 4 Enter the IP address management configuration for the SR-IOV network. Create the SriovNetwork resource by running the following command: USD oc create -f sriov-network.yaml Example output sriovnetwork.sriovnetwork.openshift.io/sriov-numa-0-network created Create a pod and assign the SR-IOV network resource from the step: Save the following YAML in the sriov-network-pod.yaml file, replacing values in the YAML to match your environment: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: <pod_name> annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: |- [ { "name": "sriov-numa-0-network", 1 } ] spec: containers: - name: <container_name> image: <image> imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent command: ["sleep", "infinity"] 1 This is the name of the SriovNetwork resource that uses the SriovNetworkNodePolicy resource. Create the Pod resource by running the following command: USD oc create -f sriov-network-pod.yaml Example output pod/example-pod created Verification Verify the status of the pod by running the following command, replacing <pod_name> with the name of the pod: USD oc get pod <pod_name> Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE test-deployment-sriov-76cbbf4756-k9v72 1/1 Running 0 45h Open a debug session with the target pod to verify that the SR-IOV network resources are deployed to a different node than the memory and CPU resources. Open a debug session with the pod by running the following command, replacing <pod_name> with the target pod name. USD oc debug pod/<pod_name> Set /host as the root directory within the debug shell. The debug pod mounts the root file system from the host in /host within the pod. By changing the root directory to /host , you can run binaries from the host file system: USD chroot /host View information about the CPU allocation by running the following commands: USD lscpu | grep NUMA Example output NUMA node(s): 2 NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,... NUMA node1 CPU(s): 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,... USD cat /proc/self/status | grep Cpus Example output Cpus_allowed: aa Cpus_allowed_list: 1,3,5,7 USD cat /sys/class/net/net1/device/numa_node Example output 0 In this example, CPUs 1,3,5, and 7 are allocated to NUMA node1 but the SR-IOV network resource can use the NIC in NUMA node0 . Note If the excludeTopology specification is set to True , it is possible that the required resources exist in the same NUMA node.

Runtime configuration for a network attachment When attaching a pod to an additional network, you can specify a runtime configuration to make specific customizations for the pod. For example, you can request a specific MAC hardware address. You specify the runtime configuration by setting an annotation in the pod specification. The annotation key is k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks , and it accepts a JSON object that describes the runtime configuration. 23.7.1.1. Runtime configuration for an Ethernet-based SR-IOV attachment The following JSON describes the runtime configuration options for an Ethernet-based SR-IOV network attachment. [ { "name": "<name>", 1 "mac": "<mac_address>", 2 "ips": ["<cidr_range>"] 3 } ] 1 The name of the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. 2 Optional: The MAC address for the SR-IOV device that is allocated from the resource type defined in the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. To use this feature, you also must specify { "mac": true } in the SriovNetwork object. 3 Optional: IP addresses for the SR-IOV device that is allocated from the resource type defined in the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. To use this feature, you also must specify { "ips": true } in the SriovNetwork object.

Adding a pod to an additional network You can add a pod to an additional network. The pod continues to send normal cluster-related network traffic over the default network. When a pod is created additional networks are attached to it. However, if a pod already exists, you cannot attach additional networks to it. The pod must be in the same namespace as the additional network. Note The SR-IOV Network Resource Injector adds the resource field to the first container in a pod automatically. If you are using an Intel network interface controller (NIC) in Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) mode, only the first container in your pod is configured to access the NIC. Your SR-IOV additional network is configured for DPDK mode if the deviceType is set to vfio-pci in the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object. You can work around this issue by either ensuring that the container that needs access to the NIC is the first container defined in the Pod object or by disabling the Network Resource Injector. For more information, see BZ#1990953 . Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to the cluster. Install the SR-IOV Operator. Create either an SriovNetwork object or an SriovIBNetwork object to attach the pod to. Procedure Add an annotation to the Pod object. Only one of the following annotation formats can be used: To attach an additional network without any customization, add an annotation with the following format. Replace <network> with the name of the additional network to associate with the pod: metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: <network>[,<network>,...] 1 1 To specify more than one additional network, separate each network with a comma. Do not include whitespace between the comma. If you specify the same additional network multiple times, that pod will have multiple network interfaces attached to that network. To attach an additional network with customizations, add an annotation with the following format: metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: |- [ { "name": "<network>", 1 "namespace": "<namespace>", 2 "default-route": ["<default-route>"] 3 } ] 1 Specify the name of the additional network defined by a NetworkAttachmentDefinition object. 2 Specify the namespace where the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object is defined. 3 Optional: Specify an override for the default route, such as 192.168.17.1 . To create the pod, enter the following command. Replace <name> with the name of the pod. USD oc create -f <name>.yaml Optional: To Confirm that the annotation exists in the Pod CR, enter the following command, replacing <name> with the name of the pod. USD oc get pod <name> -o yaml In the following example, the example-pod pod is attached to the net1 additional network: USD oc get pod example-pod -o yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: macvlan-bridge k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/network-status: |- 1 [{ "name": "openshift-sdn", "interface": "eth0", "ips": [ "10.128.2.14" ], "default": true, "dns": {} },{ "name": "macvlan-bridge", "interface": "net1", "ips": [ "20.2.2.100" ], "mac": "22:2f:60:a5:f8:00", "dns": {} }] name: example-pod namespace: default spec: ... status: ... 1 The k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/network-status parameter is a JSON array of objects. Each object describes the status of an additional network attached to the pod. The annotation value is stored as a plain text value. 23.7.3. Creating a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) aligned SR-IOV pod You can create a NUMA aligned SR-IOV pod by restricting SR-IOV and the CPU resources allocated from the same NUMA node with restricted or single-numa-node Topology Manager polices. Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have configured the CPU Manager policy to static . For more information on CPU Manager, see the "Additional resources" section. You have configured the Topology Manager policy to single-numa-node . Note When single-numa-node is unable to satisfy the request, you can configure the Topology Manager policy to restricted . For more flexible SR-IOV network resource scheduling, see Excluding SR-IOV network topology during NUMA-aware scheduling in the Additional resources section. Procedure Create the following SR-IOV pod spec, and then save the YAML in the <name>-sriov-pod.yaml file. Replace <name> with a name for this pod. The following example shows an SR-IOV pod spec: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: sample-pod annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: <name> 1 spec: containers: - name: sample-container image: <image> 2 command: ["sleep", "infinity"] resources: limits: memory: "1Gi" 3 cpu: "2" 4 requests: memory: "1Gi" cpu: "2" 1 Replace <name> with the name of the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. 2 Replace <image> with the name of the sample-pod image. 3 To create the SR-IOV pod with guaranteed QoS, set memory limits equal to memory requests . 4 To create the SR-IOV pod with guaranteed QoS, set cpu limits equals to cpu requests . Create the sample SR-IOV pod by running the following command: USD oc create -f <filename> 1 1 Replace <filename> with the name of the file you created in the step. Confirm that the sample-pod is configured with guaranteed QoS. USD oc describe pod sample-pod Confirm that the sample-pod is allocated with exclusive CPUs. USD oc exec sample-pod -- cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cpuset.cpus Confirm that the SR-IOV device and CPUs that are allocated for the sample-pod are on the same NUMA node. USD oc exec sample-pod -- cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cpuset.cpus 23.7.4.

Configuring interface-level network sysctl settings and all-multicast mode for SR-IOV networks As a cluster administrator, you can change interface-level network sysctls and several interface attributes such as promiscuous mode, all-multicast mode, MTU, and MAC address by using the tuning Container Network Interface (CNI) meta plugin for a pod connected to a SR-IOV network device. 23.8.1. Labeling nodes with an SR-IOV enabled NIC If you want to enable SR-IOV on only SR-IOV capable nodes there are a couple of ways to do this: Install the Node Feature Discovery (NFD) Operator. NFD detects the presence of SR-IOV enabled NICs and labels the nodes with node.alpha.kubernetes-incubator.io/nfd-network-sriov.capable = true . Examine the SriovNetworkNodeState CR for each node. The interfaces stanza includes a list of all of the SR-IOV devices discovered by the SR-IOV Network Operator on the worker node. Label each node with feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" by using the following command: USD oc label node <node_name> feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable="true" Note You can label the nodes with whatever name you want. 23.8.2. Setting one sysctl flag You can set interface-level network sysctl settings for a pod connected to a SR-IOV network device. In this example, net.ipv4.conf.IFNAME.accept_redirects is set to 1 on the created virtual interfaces. The sysctl-tuning-test is a namespace used in this example. Use the following command to create the sysctl-tuning-test namespace: 23.8.2.1. Setting one sysctl flag on nodes with SR-IOV network devices The SR-IOV Network Operator adds the SriovNetworkNodePolicy.sriovnetwork.openshift.io custom resource definition (CRD) to OpenShift Container Platform. You can configure an SR-IOV network device by creating a SriovNetworkNodePolicy custom resource (CR). Note When applying the configuration specified in a SriovNetworkNodePolicy object, the SR-IOV Operator might drain and reboot the nodes. It can take several minutes for a configuration change to apply. Follow this procedure to create a SriovNetworkNodePolicy custom resource (CR). Procedure Create an SriovNetworkNodePolicy custom resource (CR). For example, save the following YAML as the file policyoneflag-sriov-node-network.yaml : apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: policyoneflag 1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator 2 spec: resourceName: policyoneflag 3 nodeSelector: 4 feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable="true" priority: 10 5 numVfs: 5 6 nicSelector: 7 pfNames: ["ens5"] 8 deviceType: "netdevice" 9 isRdma: false 10 1 The name for the custom resource object. 2 The namespace where the SR-IOV Network Operator is installed. 3 The resource name of the SR-IOV network device plugin. You can create multiple SR-IOV network node policies for a resource name. 4 The node selector specifies the nodes to configure. Only SR-IOV network devices on the selected nodes are configured. The SR-IOV Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin and device plugin are deployed on selected nodes only. 5 Optional: The priority is an integer value between 0 and 99 . A smaller value receives higher priority. For example, a priority of 10 is a higher priority than 99 . The default value is 99 . 6 The number of the virtual functions (VFs) to create for the SR-IOV physical network device. For an Intel network interface controller (NIC), the number of VFs cannot be larger than the total VFs supported by the device. For a Mellanox NIC, the number of VFs cannot be larger than 127 . 7 The NIC selector identifies the device for the Operator to configure. You do not have to specify values for all the parameters. It is recommended to identify the network device with enough precision to avoid selecting a device unintentionally. If you specify rootDevices , you must also specify a value for vendor , deviceID , or pfNames . If you specify both pfNames and rootDevices at the same time, ensure that they refer to the same device. If you specify a value for netFilter , then you do not need to specify any other parameter because a network ID is unique. 8 Optional: An array of one or more physical function (PF) names for the device. 9 Optional: The driver type for the virtual functions. The only allowed value is netdevice . For a Mellanox NIC to work in DPDK mode on bare metal nodes, set isRdma to true . 10 Optional: Configures whether to enable remote direct memory access (RDMA) mode. The default value is false . If the isRdma parameter is set to true , you can continue to use the RDMA-enabled VF as a normal network device. A device can be used in either mode. Set isRdma to true and additionally set needVhostNet to true to configure a Mellanox NIC for use with Fast Datapath DPDK applications. Note The vfio-pci driver type is not supported. Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object: USD oc create -f policyoneflag-sriov-node-network.yaml After applying the configuration update, all the pods in sriov-network-operator namespace change to the Running status. To verify that the SR-IOV network device is configured, enter the following command. Replace <node_name> with the name of a node with the SR-IOV network device that you just configured. USD oc get sriovnetworknodestates -n openshift-sriov-network-operator <node_name> -o jsonpath='{.status.syncStatus}' Example output Succeeded 23.8.2.2. Configuring sysctl on a SR-IOV network You can set interface specific sysctl settings on virtual interfaces created by SR-IOV by adding the tuning configuration to the optional metaPlugins parameter of the SriovNetwork resource. The SR-IOV Network Operator manages additional network definitions. When you specify an additional SR-IOV network to create, the SR-IOV Network Operator creates the NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resource (CR) automatically. Note Do not edit NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resources that the SR-IOV Network Operator manages. Doing so might disrupt network traffic on your additional network. To change the interface-level network net.ipv4.conf.IFNAME.accept_redirects sysctl settings, create an additional SR-IOV network with the Container Network Interface (CNI) tuning plugin. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift Container Platform CLI (oc). Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create the SriovNetwork custom resource (CR) for the additional SR-IOV network attachment and insert the metaPlugins configuration, as in the following example CR.

You can specify "{ "ips": true }" to enable IP address support or "{ "mac": true }" to enable MAC address support. 7 Optional: The metaPlugins parameter is used to add additional capabilities to the device. In this use case set the type field to tuning . Specify the interface-level network sysctl you want to set in the sysctl field. Create the SriovNetwork resource: USD oc create -f sriov-network-interface-sysctl.yaml Verifying that the NetworkAttachmentDefinition CR is successfully created Confirm that the SR-IOV Network Operator created the NetworkAttachmentDefinition CR by running the following command: USD oc get network-attachment-definitions -n <namespace> 1 1 Replace <namespace> with the value for networkNamespace that you specified in the SriovNetwork object. For example, sysctl-tuning-test . Example output NAME AGE onevalidflag 14m Note There might be a delay before the SR-IOV Network Operator creates the CR. Verifying that the additional SR-IOV network attachment is successful To verify that the tuning CNI is correctly configured and the additional SR-IOV network attachment is attached, do the following: Create a Pod CR. Save the following YAML as the file examplepod.yaml : apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: tunepod namespace: sysctl-tuning-test annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: |- [ { "name": "onevalidflag", 1 "mac": "0a:56:0a:83:04:0c", 2 "ips": ["10.100.100.200/24"] 3 } ] spec: containers: - name: podexample image: centos command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "sleep INF"] securityContext: runAsUser: 2000 runAsGroup: 3000 allowPrivilegeEscalation: false capabilities: drop: ["ALL"] securityContext: runAsNonRoot: true seccompProfile: type: RuntimeDefault 1 The name of the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. 2 Optional: The MAC address for the SR-IOV device that is allocated from the resource type defined in the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. To use this feature, you also must specify { "mac": true } in the SriovNetwork object. 3 Optional: IP addresses for the SR-IOV device that are allocated from the resource type defined in the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. To use this feature, you also must specify { "ips": true } in the SriovNetwork object. Create the Pod CR: USD oc apply -f examplepod.yaml Verify that the pod is created by running the following command: USD oc get pod -n sysctl-tuning-test Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE tunepod 1/1 Running 0 47s Log in to the pod by running the following command: USD oc rsh -n sysctl-tuning-test tunepod Verify the values of the configured sysctl flag. Find the value net.ipv4.conf.IFNAME.accept_redirects by running the following command:: USD sysctl net.ipv4.conf.net1.accept_redirects Example output net.ipv4.conf.net1.accept_redirects = 1 23.8.3. Configuring sysctl settings for pods associated with bonded SR-IOV interface flag You can set interface-level network sysctl settings for a pod connected to a bonded SR-IOV network device. In this example, the specific network interface-level sysctl settings that can be configured are set on the bonded interface. The sysctl-tuning-test namespace is used in this example. Procedure Use the following command to create the sysctl-tuning-test namespace: USD oc create namespace sysctl-tuning-test 23.8.3.1. Setting all sysctl flag on nodes with bonded SR-IOV network devices The SR-IOV Network Operator adds the SriovNetworkNodePolicy.sriovnetwork.openshift.io custom resource definition (CRD) to OpenShift Container Platform. You can configure an SR-IOV network device by creating a SriovNetworkNodePolicy custom resource (CR). Note When applying the configuration specified in a SriovNetworkNodePolicy object, the SR-IOV Operator might drain the nodes, and in some cases, reboot nodes. It might take several minutes for a configuration change to apply. Follow this procedure to create a SriovNetworkNodePolicy custom resource (CR). Procedure Create an SriovNetworkNodePolicy custom resource (CR). Save the following YAML as the file policyallflags-sriov-node-network.yaml . Replace policyallflags with the name for the configuration. apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: policyallflags 1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator 2 spec: resourceName: policyallflags 3 nodeSelector: 4 node.alpha.kubernetes-incubator.io/nfd-network-sriov.capable = `true` priority: 10 5 numVfs: 5 6 nicSelector: 7 pfNames: ["ens1f0"] 8 deviceType: "netdevice" 9 isRdma: false 10 1 The name for the custom resource object. 2 The namespace where the SR-IOV Network Operator is installed. 3 The resource name of the SR-IOV network device plugin. You can create multiple SR-IOV network node policies for a resource name. 4 The node selector specifies the nodes to configure. Only SR-IOV network devices on the selected nodes are configured. The SR-IOV Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin and device plugin are deployed on selected nodes only. 5 Optional: The priority is an integer value between 0 and 99 . A smaller value receives higher priority. For example, a priority of 10 is a higher priority than 99 . The default value is 99 . 6 The number of virtual functions (VFs) to create for the SR-IOV physical network device. For an Intel network interface controller (NIC), the number of VFs cannot be larger than the total VFs supported by the device. For a Mellanox NIC, the number of VFs cannot be larger than 127 . 7 The NIC selector identifies the device for the Operator to configure. You do not have to specify values for all the parameters. It is recommended to identify the network device with enough precision to avoid selecting a device unintentionally. If you specify rootDevices , you must also specify a value for vendor , deviceID , or pfNames . If you specify both pfNames and rootDevices at the same time, ensure that they refer to the same device. If you specify a value for netFilter , then you do not need to specify any other parameter because a network ID is unique. 8 Optional: An array of one or more physical function (PF) names for the device. 9 Optional: The driver type for the virtual functions. The only allowed value is netdevice . For a Mellanox NIC to work in DPDK mode on bare metal nodes, set isRdma to true . 10 Optional: Configures whether to enable remote direct memory access (RDMA) mode. The default value is false . If the isRdma parameter is set to true , you can continue to use the RDMA-enabled VF as a normal network device. A device can be used in either mode. Set isRdma to true and additionally set needVhostNet to true to configure a Mellanox NIC for use with Fast Datapath DPDK applications. Note The vfio-pci driver type is not supported. Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object: USD oc create -f policyallflags-sriov-node-network.yaml After applying the configuration update, all the pods in sriov-network-operator namespace change to the Running status. To verify that the SR-IOV network device is configured, enter the following command. Replace <node_name> with the name of a node with the SR-IOV network device that you just configured. USD oc get sriovnetworknodestates -n openshift-sriov-network-operator <node_name> -o jsonpath='{.status.syncStatus}' Example output Succeeded 23.8.3.2. Configuring sysctl on a bonded SR-IOV network You can set interface specific sysctl settings on a bonded interface created from two SR-IOV interfaces. Do this by adding the tuning configuration to the optional Plugins parameter of the bond network attachment definition. Note Do not edit NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resources that the SR-IOV Network Operator manages. Doing so might disrupt network traffic on your additional network. To change specific interface-level network sysctl settings create the SriovNetwork custom resource (CR) with the Container Network Interface (CNI) tuning plugin by using the following procedure. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift Container Platform CLI (oc). Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create the SriovNetwork custom resource (CR) for the bonded interface as in the following example CR. Save the YAML as the file sriov-network-attachment.yaml . apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: allvalidflags 1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator 2 spec: resourceName: policyallflags 3 networkNamespace: sysctl-tuning-test 4 capabilities: '{ "mac": true, "ips": true }' 5 1 A name for the object. The SR-IOV Network Operator creates a NetworkAttachmentDefinition object with same name. 2 The namespace where the SR-IOV Network Operator is installed. 3 The value for the spec.resourceName parameter from the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object that defines the SR-IOV hardware for this additional network. 4 The target namespace for the SriovNetwork object. Only pods in the target namespace can attach to the additional network. 5 Optional: The capabilities to configure for this additional network. You can specify "{ "ips": true }" to enable IP address support or "{ "mac": true }" to enable MAC address support. Create the SriovNetwork resource: USD oc create -f sriov-network-attachment.yaml Create a bond network attachment definition as in the following example CR. Save the YAML as the file sriov-bond-network-interface.yaml . apiVersion: "k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1" kind: NetworkAttachmentDefinition metadata: name: bond-sysctl-network namespace: sysctl-tuning-test spec: config: '{ "cniVersion":"0.4.0", "name":"bound-net", "plugins":[ { "type":"bond", 1 "mode": "active-backup", 2 "failOverMac": 1, 3 "linksInContainer": true, 4 "miimon": "100", "links": [ 5 {"name": "net1"}, {"name": "net2"} ], "ipam":{ 6 "type":"static" } }, { "type":"tuning", 7 "capabilities":{ "mac":true }, "sysctl":{ "net.ipv4.conf.IFNAME.accept_redirects": "0", "net.ipv4.conf.IFNAME.accept_source_route": "0", "net.ipv4.conf.IFNAME.disable_policy": "1", "net.ipv4.conf.IFNAME.secure_redirects": "0", "net.ipv4.conf.IFNAME.send_redirects": "0", "net.ipv6.conf.IFNAME.accept_redirects": "0", "net.ipv6.conf.IFNAME.accept_source_route": "1", "net.ipv6.neigh.IFNAME.base_reachable_time_ms": "20000", "net.ipv6.neigh.IFNAME.retrans_time_ms": "2000" } } ] }' 1 The type is bond . 2 The mode attribute specifies the bonding mode. The bonding modes supported are: balance-rr - 0 active-backup - 1 balance-xor - 2 For balance-rr or balance-xor modes, you must set the trust mode to on for the SR-IOV virtual function. 3 The failover attribute is mandatory for active-backup mode. 4 The linksInContainer=true flag informs the Bond CNI that the required interfaces are to be found inside the container. By default, Bond CNI looks for these interfaces on the host which does not work for integration with SRIOV and Multus. 5 The links section defines which interfaces will be used to create the bond. By default, Multus names the attached interfaces as: "net", plus a consecutive number, starting with one. 6 A configuration object for the IPAM CNI plugin as a YAML block scalar. The plugin manages IP address assignment for the attachment definition. In this pod example IP addresses are configured manually, so in this case, ipam is set to static. 7 Add additional capabilities to the device. For example, set the type field to tuning . Specify the interface-level network sysctl you want to set in the sysctl field. This example sets all interface-level network sysctl settings that can be set. Create the bond network attachment resource: USD oc create -f sriov-bond-network-interface.yaml Verifying that the NetworkAttachmentDefinition CR is successfully created Confirm that the SR-IOV Network Operator created the NetworkAttachmentDefinition CR by running the following command: USD oc get network-attachment-definitions -n <namespace> 1 1 Replace <namespace> with the networkNamespace that you specified when configuring the network attachment, for example, sysctl-tuning-test . Example output NAME AGE bond-sysctl-network 22m allvalidflags 47m Note There might be a delay before the SR-IOV Network Operator creates the CR. Verifying that the additional SR-IOV network resource is successful To verify that the tuning CNI is correctly configured and the additional SR-IOV network attachment is attached, do the following: Create a Pod CR. For example, save the following YAML as the file examplepod.yaml : apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: tunepod namespace: sysctl-tuning-test annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: |- [ {"name": "allvalidflags"}, 1 {"name": "allvalidflags"}, { "name": "bond-sysctl-network", "interface": "bond0", "mac": "0a:56:0a:83:04:0c", 2 "ips": ["10.100.100.200/24"] 3 } ] spec: containers: - name: podexample image: centos command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "sleep INF"] securityContext: runAsUser: 2000 runAsGroup: 3000 allowPrivilegeEscalation: false capabilities: drop: ["ALL"] securityContext: runAsNonRoot: true seccompProfile: type: RuntimeDefault 1 The name of the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. 2 Optional: The MAC address for the SR-IOV device that is allocated from the resource type defined in the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. To use this feature, you also must specify { "mac": true } in the SriovNetwork object. 3 Optional: IP addresses for the SR-IOV device that are allocated from the resource type defined in the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. To use this feature, you also must specify { "ips": true } in the SriovNetwork object. Apply the YAML: USD oc apply -f examplepod.yaml Verify that the pod is created by running the following command: USD oc get pod -n sysctl-tuning-test Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE tunepod 1/1 Running 0 47s Log in to the pod by running the following command: USD oc rsh -n sysctl-tuning-test tunepod Verify the values of the configured sysctl flag. Find the value net.ipv6.neigh.IFNAME.base_reachable_time_ms by running the following command:: USD sysctl net.ipv6.neigh.bond0.base_reachable_time_ms Example output net.ipv6.neigh.bond0.base_reachable_time_ms = 20000 23.8.4. About all-multicast mode Enabling all-multicast mode, particularly in the context of rootless applications, is critical. If you do not enable this mode, you would be required to grant the NET_ADMIN capability to the pod's Security Context Constraints (SCC). If you were to allow the NET_ADMIN capability to grant the pod privileges to make changes that extend beyond its specific requirements, you could potentially expose security vulnerabilities. The tuning CNI plugin supports changing several interface attributes, including all-multicast mode. By enabling this mode, you can allow applications running on Virtual Functions (VFs) that are configured on a SR-IOV network device to receive multicast traffic from applications on other VFs, whether attached to the same or different physical functions. 23.8.4.1. Enabling the all-multicast mode on an SR-IOV network You can enable the all-multicast mode on an SR-IOV interface by: Adding the tuning configuration to the metaPlugins parameter of the SriovNetwork resource Setting the allmulti field to true in the tuning configuration Note Ensure that you create the virtual function (VF) with trust enabled. The SR-IOV Network Operator manages additional network definitions. When you specify an additional SR-IOV network to create, the SR-IOV Network Operator creates the NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resource (CR) automatically. Note Do not edit NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resources that the SR-IOV Network Operator manages. Doing so might disrupt network traffic on your additional network. Enable the all-multicast mode on a SR-IOV network by following this guidance. Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift Container Platform CLI (oc). You are logged in to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You have installed the SR-IOV Network Operator. You have configured an appropriate SriovNetworkNodePolicy object. Procedure Create a YAML file with the following settings that defines a SriovNetworkNodePolicy object for a Mellanox ConnectX-5 device. Save the YAML file as sriovnetpolicy-mlx.yaml . apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: sriovnetpolicy-mlx namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: deviceType: netdevice nicSelector: deviceID: "1017" pfNames: - ens8f0np0#0-9 rootDevices: - 0000:d8:00.0 vendor: "15b3" nodeSelector: feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" numVfs: 10 priority: 99 resourceName: resourcemlx Optional: If the SR-IOV capable cluster nodes are not already labeled, add the SriovNetworkNodePolicy.Spec.NodeSelector label. For more information about labeling nodes, see "Understanding how to update labels on nodes". Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object by running the following command: USD oc create -f sriovnetpolicy-mlx.yaml After applying the configuration update, all the pods in the sriov-network-operator namespace automatically move to a Running status. Create the enable-allmulti-test namespace by running the following command: USD oc create namespace enable-allmulti-test Create the SriovNetwork custom resource (CR) for the additional SR-IOV network attachment and insert the metaPlugins configuration, as in the following example CR YAML, and save the file as sriov-enable-all-multicast.yaml . apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: enableallmulti 1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator 2 spec: resourceName: enableallmulti 3 networkNamespace: enable-allmulti-test 4 ipam: '{ "type": "static" }' 5 capabilities: '{ "mac": true, "ips": true }' 6 trust: "on" 7 metaPlugins : | 8 { "type": "tuning", "capabilities":{ "mac":true }, "allmulti": true } } 1 Specify a name for the object. The SR-IOV Network Operator creates a NetworkAttachmentDefinition object with the same name. 2 Specify the namespace where the SR-IOV Network Operator is installed. 3 Specify a value for the spec.resourceName parameter from the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object that defines the SR-IOV hardware for this additional network. 4 Specify the target namespace for the SriovNetwork object. Only pods in the target namespace can attach to the additional network. 5 Specify a configuration object for the IPAM CNI plugin as a YAML block scalar. The plugin manages IP address assignment for the attachment definition. 6 Optional: Set capabilities for the additional network. You can specify "{ "ips": true }" to enable IP address support or "{ "mac": true }" to enable MAC address support. 7 Specify the trust mode of the virtual function. This must be set to "on". 8 Add more capabilities to the device by using the metaPlugins parameter. In this use case, set the type field to tuning , and add the allmulti field and set it to true . Create the SriovNetwork resource by running the following command: USD oc create -f sriov-enable-all-multicast.yaml Verification of the NetworkAttachmentDefinition CR Confirm that the SR-IOV Network Operator created the NetworkAttachmentDefinition CR by running the following command: USD oc get network-attachment-definitions -n <namespace> 1 1 Replace <namespace> with the value for networkNamespace that you specified in the SriovNetwork object. For this example, that is enable-allmulti-test . Example output NAME AGE enableallmulti 14m Note There might be a delay before the SR-IOV Network Operator creates the CR. Display information about the SR-IOV network resources by running the following command: USD oc get sriovnetwork -n openshift-sriov-network-operator Verifying that the tuning CNI is correctly configured To verify that the tuning CNI is correctly configured and that the additional SR-IOV network attachment is attached, follow these steps: Create a Pod CR. Save the following sample YAML in a file named examplepod.yaml : apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: samplepod namespace: enable-allmulti-test annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: |- [ { "name": "enableallmulti", 1 "mac": "0a:56:0a:83:04:0c", 2 "ips": ["10.100.100.200/24"] 3 } ] spec: containers: - name: podexample image: centos command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "sleep INF"] securityContext: runAsUser: 2000 runAsGroup: 3000 allowPrivilegeEscalation: false capabilities: drop: ["ALL"] securityContext: runAsNonRoot: true seccompProfile: type: RuntimeDefault 1 Specify the name of the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR. 2 Optional: Specify the MAC address for the SR-IOV device that is allocated from the resource type defined in the SR-IOV network attachment definition CR.

Additional resources Understanding how to update labels on nodes 23.9. Using high performance multicast You can use multicast on your Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) hardware network. 23.9.1. High performance multicast The OpenShift SDN network plugin supports multicast between pods on the default network. This is best used for low-bandwidth coordination or service discovery, and not high-bandwidth applications. For applications such as streaming media, like Internet Protocol television (IPTV) and multipoint videoconferencing, you can utilize Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) hardware to provide near-native performance. When using additional SR-IOV interfaces for multicast: Multicast packages must be sent or received by a pod through the additional SR-IOV interface. The physical network which connects the SR-IOV interfaces decides the multicast routing and topology, which is not controlled by OpenShift Container Platform. 23.9.2. Configuring an SR-IOV interface for multicast The follow procedure creates an example SR-IOV interface for multicast. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You must log in to the cluster with a user that has the cluster-admin role.

This is to override the static multicast route set by the default network provider. Create a pod with multicast application: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: testpmd namespace: default annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: nic1 spec: containers: - name: example image: rhel7:latest securityContext: capabilities: add: ["NET_ADMIN"] 1 command: [ "sleep", "infinity"] 1 The NET_ADMIN capability is required only if your application needs to assign the multicast IP address to the SR-IOV interface. Otherwise, it can be omitted. 23.10. Using DPDK and RDMA The containerized Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) application is supported on OpenShift Container Platform. You can use Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) network hardware with the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) and with remote direct memory access (RDMA). For information about supported devices, see Supported devices . 23.10.1. Using a virtual function in DPDK mode with an Intel NIC Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Install the SR-IOV Network Operator. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create the following SriovNetworkNodePolicy object, and then save the YAML in the intel-dpdk-node-policy.yaml file. apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: intel-dpdk-node-policy namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: resourceName: intelnics nodeSelector: feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" priority: <priority> numVfs: <num> nicSelector: vendor: "8086" deviceID: "158b" pfNames: ["<pf_name>", ...] rootDevices: ["<pci_bus_id>", "..."] deviceType: vfio-pci 1 1 Specify the driver type for the virtual functions to vfio-pci . Note See the Configuring SR-IOV network devices section for a detailed explanation on each option in SriovNetworkNodePolicy . When applying the configuration specified in a SriovNetworkNodePolicy object, the SR-IOV Operator may drain the nodes, and in some cases, reboot nodes. It may take several minutes for a configuration change to apply. Ensure that there are enough available nodes in your cluster to handle the evicted workload beforehand. After the configuration update is applied, all the pods in openshift-sriov-network-operator namespace will change to a Running status. Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object by running the following command: USD oc create -f intel-dpdk-node-policy.yaml Create the following SriovNetwork object, and then save the YAML in the intel-dpdk-network.yaml file. apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: intel-dpdk-network namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: networkNamespace: <target_namespace> ipam: |- # ... 1 vlan: <vlan> resourceName: intelnics 1 Specify a configuration object for the ipam CNI plugin as a YAML block scalar. The plugin manages IP address assignment for the attachment definition. Note See the "Configuring SR-IOV additional network" section for a detailed explanation on each option in SriovNetwork . An optional library, app-netutil, provides several API methods for gathering network information about a container's parent pod. Create the SriovNetwork object by running the following command: USD oc create -f intel-dpdk-network.yaml Create the following Pod spec, and then save the YAML in the intel-dpdk-pod.yaml file. apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: dpdk-app namespace: <target_namespace> 1 annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: intel-dpdk-network spec: containers: - name: testpmd image: <DPDK_image> 2 securityContext: runAsUser: 0 capabilities: add: ["IPC_LOCK","SYS_RESOURCE","NET_RAW"] 3 volumeMounts: - mountPath: /mnt/huge 4 name: hugepage resources: limits: openshift.io/intelnics: "1" 5 memory: "1Gi" cpu: "4" 6 hugepages-1Gi: "4Gi" 7 requests: openshift.io/intelnics: "1" memory: "1Gi" cpu: "4" hugepages-1Gi: "4Gi" command: ["sleep", "infinity"] volumes: - name: hugepage emptyDir: medium: HugePages 1 Specify the same target_namespace where the SriovNetwork object intel-dpdk-network is created. If you would like to create the pod in a different namespace, change target_namespace in both the Pod spec and the SriovNetwork object. 2 Specify the DPDK image which includes your application and the DPDK library used by application. 3 Specify additional capabilities required by the application inside the container for hugepage allocation, system resource allocation, and network interface access. 4 Mount a hugepage volume to the DPDK pod under /mnt/huge . The hugepage volume is backed by the emptyDir volume type with the medium being Hugepages . 5 Optional: Specify the number of DPDK devices allocated to DPDK pod. This resource request and limit, if not explicitly specified, will be automatically added by the SR-IOV network resource injector. The SR-IOV network resource injector is an admission controller component managed by the SR-IOV Operator. It is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting enableInjector option to false in the default SriovOperatorConfig CR. 6 Specify the number of CPUs. The DPDK pod usually requires exclusive CPUs to be allocated from the kubelet. This is achieved by setting CPU Manager policy to static and creating a pod with Guaranteed QoS. 7 Specify hugepage size hugepages-1Gi or hugepages-2Mi and the quantity of hugepages that will be allocated to the DPDK pod. Configure 2Mi and 1Gi hugepages separately. Configuring 1Gi hugepage requires adding kernel arguments to Nodes. For example, adding kernel arguments default_hugepagesz=1GB , hugepagesz=1G and hugepages=16 will result in 16*1Gi hugepages be allocated during system boot. Create the DPDK pod by running the following command: USD oc create -f intel-dpdk-pod.yaml 23.10.2. Using a virtual function in DPDK mode with a Mellanox NIC You can create a network node policy and create a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) pod using a virtual function in DPDK mode with a Mellanox NIC. Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have installed the Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Network Operator. You have logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Save the following SriovNetworkNodePolicy YAML configuration to an mlx-dpdk-node-policy.yaml file: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: mlx-dpdk-node-policy namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: resourceName: mlxnics nodeSelector: feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" priority: <priority> numVfs: <num> nicSelector: vendor: "15b3" deviceID: "1015" 1 pfNames: ["<pf_name>", ...] rootDevices: ["<pci_bus_id>", "..."] deviceType: netdevice 2 isRdma: true 3 1 Specify the device hex code of the SR-IOV network device. 2 Specify the driver type for the virtual functions to netdevice . A Mellanox SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF) can work in DPDK mode without using the vfio-pci device type. The VF device appears as a kernel network interface inside a container. 3 Enable Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) mode. This is required for Mellanox cards to work in DPDK mode. Note See Configuring an SR-IOV network device for a detailed explanation of each option in the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object. When applying the configuration specified in an SriovNetworkNodePolicy object, the SR-IOV Operator might drain the nodes, and in some cases, reboot nodes. It might take several minutes for a configuration change to apply. Ensure that there are enough available nodes in your cluster to handle the evicted workload beforehand. After the configuration update is applied, all the pods in the openshift-sriov-network-operator namespace will change to a Running status. Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object by running the following command: USD oc create -f mlx-dpdk-node-policy.yaml Save the following SriovNetwork YAML configuration to an mlx-dpdk-network.yaml file: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: mlx-dpdk-network namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: networkNamespace: <target_namespace> ipam: |- 1 ... vlan: <vlan> resourceName: mlxnics 1 Specify a configuration object for the IP Address Management (IPAM) Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin as a YAML block scalar. The plugin manages IP address assignment for the attachment definition. Note See Configuring an SR-IOV network device for a detailed explanation on each option in the SriovNetwork object. The app-netutil option library provides several API methods for gathering network information about the parent pod of a container. Create the SriovNetwork object by running the following command: USD oc create -f mlx-dpdk-network.yaml Save the following Pod YAML configuration to an mlx-dpdk-pod.yaml file: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: dpdk-app namespace: <target_namespace> 1 annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: mlx-dpdk-network spec: containers: - name: testpmd image: <DPDK_image> 2 securityContext: runAsUser: 0 capabilities: add: ["IPC_LOCK","SYS_RESOURCE","NET_RAW"] 3 volumeMounts: - mountPath: /mnt/huge 4 name: hugepage resources: limits: openshift.io/mlxnics: "1" 5 memory: "1Gi" cpu: "4" 6 hugepages-1Gi: "4Gi" 7 requests: openshift.io/mlxnics: "1" memory: "1Gi" cpu: "4" hugepages-1Gi: "4Gi" command: ["sleep", "infinity"] volumes: - name: hugepage emptyDir: medium: HugePages 1 Specify the same target_namespace where SriovNetwork object mlx-dpdk-network is created. To create the pod in a different namespace, change target_namespace in both the Pod spec and SriovNetwork object. 2 Specify the DPDK image which includes your application and the DPDK library used by the application. 3 Specify additional capabilities required by the application inside the container for hugepage allocation, system resource allocation, and network interface access. 4 Mount the hugepage volume to the DPDK pod under /mnt/huge . The hugepage volume is backed by the emptyDir volume type with the medium being Hugepages . 5 Optional: Specify the number of DPDK devices allocated for the DPDK pod. If not explicitly specified, this resource request and limit is automatically added by the SR-IOV network resource injector. The SR-IOV network resource injector is an admission controller component managed by SR-IOV Operator. It is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting the enableInjector option to false in the default SriovOperatorConfig CR. 6 Specify the number of CPUs. The DPDK pod usually requires that exclusive CPUs be allocated from the kubelet. To do this, set the CPU Manager policy to static and create a pod with Guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). 7 Specify hugepage size hugepages-1Gi or hugepages-2Mi and the quantity of hugepages that will be allocated to the DPDK pod. Configure 2Mi and 1Gi hugepages separately. Configuring 1Gi hugepages requires adding kernel arguments to Nodes. Create the DPDK pod by running the following command: USD oc create -f mlx-dpdk-pod.yaml 23.10.3. Using the TAP CNI to run a rootless DPDK workload with kernel access DPDK applications can use virtio-user as an exception path to inject certain types of packets, such as log messages, into the kernel for processing. For more information about this feature, see Virtio_user as Exception Path . In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.14 and later, you can use non-privileged pods to run DPDK applications alongside the tap CNI plugin. To enable this functionality, you need to mount the vhost-net device by setting the needVhostNet parameter to true within the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object. Figure 23.1. DPDK and TAP example configuration Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have installed the SR-IOV Network Operator. You are logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Ensure that setsebools container_use_devices=on is set as root on all nodes. Note Use the Machine Config Operator to set this SELinux boolean. Procedure Create a file, such as test-namespace.yaml , with content like the following example: apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: test-namespace labels: pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce: privileged pod-security.kubernetes.io/audit: privileged pod-security.kubernetes.io/warn: privileged security.openshift.io/scc.podSecurityLabelSync: "false" Create the new Namespace object by running the following command: USD oc apply -f test-namespace.yaml Create a file, such as sriov-node-network-policy.yaml , with content like the following example:: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: sriovnic namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: deviceType: netdevice 1 isRdma: true 2 needVhostNet: true 3 nicSelector: vendor: "15b3" 4 deviceID: "101b" 5 rootDevices: ["00:05.0"] numVfs: 10 priority: 99 resourceName: sriovnic nodeSelector: feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" 1 This indicates that the profile is tailored specifically for Mellanox Network Interface Controllers (NICs). 2 Setting isRdma to true is only required for a Mellanox NIC. 3 This mounts the /dev/net/tun and /dev/vhost-net devices into the container so the application can create a tap device and connect the tap device to the DPDK workload. 4 The vendor hexadecimal code of the SR-IOV network device. The value 15b3 is associated with a Mellanox NIC. 5 The device hexadecimal code of the SR-IOV network device. Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object by running the following command: USD oc create -f sriov-node-network-policy.yaml Create the following SriovNetwork object, and then save the YAML in the sriov-network-attachment.yaml file: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: sriov-network namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: networkNamespace: test-namespace resourceName: sriovnic spoofChk: "off" trust: "on" Note See the "Configuring SR-IOV additional network" section for a detailed explanation on each option in SriovNetwork . An optional library, app-netutil , provides several API methods for gathering network information about a container's parent pod. Create the SriovNetwork object by running the following command: USD oc create -f sriov-network-attachment.yaml Create a file, such as tap-example.yaml , that defines a network attachment definition, with content like the following example: apiVersion: "k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1" kind: NetworkAttachmentDefinition metadata: name: tap-one namespace: test-namespace 1 spec: config: '{ "cniVersion": "0.4.0", "name": "tap", "plugins": [ { "type": "tap", "multiQueue": true, "selinuxcontext": "system_u:system_r:container_t:s0" }, { "type":"tuning", "capabilities":{ "mac":true } } ] }' 1 Specify the same target_namespace where the SriovNetwork object is created. Create the NetworkAttachmentDefinition object by running the following command: USD oc apply -f tap-example.yaml Create a file, such as dpdk-pod-rootless.yaml , with content like the following example: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: dpdk-app namespace: test-namespace 1 annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: '[ {"name": "sriov-network", "namespace": "test-namespace"}, {"name": "tap-one", "interface": "ext0", "namespace": "test-namespace"}]' spec: nodeSelector: kubernetes.io/hostname: "worker-0" securityContext: fsGroup: 1001 2 runAsGroup: 1001 3 seccompProfile: type: RuntimeDefault containers: - name: testpmd image: <DPDK_image> 4 securityContext: capabilities: drop: ["ALL"] 5 add: 6 - IPC_LOCK - NET_RAW #for mlx only 7 runAsUser: 1001 8 privileged: false 9 allowPrivilegeEscalation: true 10 runAsNonRoot: true 11 volumeMounts: - mountPath: /mnt/huge 12 name: hugepages resources: limits: openshift.io/sriovnic: "1" 13 memory: "1Gi" cpu: "4" 14 hugepages-1Gi: "4Gi" 15 requests: openshift.io/sriovnic: "1" memory: "1Gi" cpu: "4" hugepages-1Gi: "4Gi" command: ["sleep", "infinity"] runtimeClassName: performance-cnf-performanceprofile 16 volumes: - name: hugepages emptyDir: medium: HugePages 1 Specify the same target_namespace in which the SriovNetwork object is created. If you want to create the pod in a different namespace, change target_namespace in both the Pod spec and the SriovNetwork object. 2 Sets the group ownership of volume-mounted directories and files created in those volumes. 3 Specify the primary group ID used for running the container. 4 Specify the DPDK image that contains your application and the DPDK library used by application. 5 Removing all capabilities ( ALL ) from the container's securityContext means that the container has no special privileges beyond what is necessary for normal operation. 6 Specify additional capabilities required by the application inside the container for hugepage allocation, system resource allocation, and network interface access. These capabilities must also be set in the binary file by using the setcap command. 7 Mellanox network interface controller (NIC) requires the NET_RAW capability. 8 Specify the user ID used for running the container. 9 This setting indicates that the container or containers within the pod should not be granted privileged access to the host system. 10 This setting allows a container to escalate its privileges beyond the initial non-root privileges it might have been assigned. 11 This setting ensures that the container runs with a non-root user. This helps enforce the principle of least privilege, limiting the potential impact of compromising the container and reducing the attack surface. 12 Mount a hugepage volume to the DPDK pod under /mnt/huge . The hugepage volume is backed by the emptyDir volume type with the medium being Hugepages . 13 Optional: Specify the number of DPDK devices allocated for the DPDK pod. If not explicitly specified, this resource request and limit is automatically added by the SR-IOV network resource injector. The SR-IOV network resource injector is an admission controller component managed by SR-IOV Operator. It is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting the enableInjector option to false in the default SriovOperatorConfig CR. 14 Specify the number of CPUs. The DPDK pod usually requires exclusive CPUs to be allocated from the kubelet. This is achieved by setting CPU Manager policy to static and creating a pod with Guaranteed QoS. 15 Specify hugepage size hugepages-1Gi or hugepages-2Mi and the quantity of hugepages that will be allocated to the DPDK pod. Configure 2Mi and 1Gi hugepages separately. Configuring 1Gi hugepage requires adding kernel arguments to Nodes. For example, adding kernel arguments default_hugepagesz=1GB , hugepagesz=1G and hugepages=16 will result in 16*1Gi hugepages be allocated during system boot. 16 If your performance profile is not named cnf-performance profile , replace that string with the correct performance profile name. Create the DPDK pod by running the following command: USD oc create -f dpdk-pod-rootless.yaml Additional resources Enabling the container_use_devices boolean Creating a performance profile Configuring an SR-IOV network device 23.10.4. Overview of achieving a specific DPDK line rate To achieve a specific Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) line rate, deploy a Node Tuning Operator and configure Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV). You must also tune the DPDK settings for the following resources: Isolated CPUs Hugepages The topology scheduler Note In versions of OpenShift Container Platform, the Performance Addon Operator was used to implement automatic tuning to achieve low latency performance for OpenShift Container Platform applications. In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 and later, this functionality is part of the Node Tuning Operator. DPDK test environment The following diagram shows the components of a traffic-testing environment: Traffic generator : An application that can generate high-volume packet traffic. SR-IOV-supporting NIC : A network interface card compatible with SR-IOV. The card runs a number of virtual functions on a physical interface. Physical Function (PF) : A PCI Express (PCIe) function of a network adapter that supports the SR-IOV interface. Virtual Function (VF) : A lightweight PCIe function on a network adapter that supports SR-IOV. The VF is associated with the PCIe PF on the network adapter. The VF represents a virtualized instance of the network adapter. Switch : A network switch. Nodes can also be connected back-to-back. testpmd : An example application included with DPDK. The testpmd application can be used to test the DPDK in a packet-forwarding mode. The testpmd application is also an example of how to build a fully-fledged application using the DPDK Software Development Kit (SDK). worker 0 and worker 1 : OpenShift Container Platform nodes. 23.10.5. Using SR-IOV and the Node Tuning Operator to achieve a DPDK line rate You can use the Node Tuning Operator to configure isolated CPUs, hugepages, and a topology scheduler. You can then use the Node Tuning Operator with Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) to achieve a specific Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) line rate. Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have installed the SR-IOV Network Operator. You have logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You have deployed a standalone Node Tuning Operator. Note In versions of OpenShift Container Platform, the Performance Addon Operator was used to implement automatic tuning to achieve low latency performance for OpenShift applications. In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 and later, this functionality is part of the Node Tuning Operator. Procedure Create a PerformanceProfile object based on the following example: apiVersion: performance.openshift.io/v2 kind: PerformanceProfile metadata: name: performance spec: globallyDisableIrqLoadBalancing: true cpu: isolated: 21-51,73-103 1 reserved: 0-20,52-72 2 hugepages: defaultHugepagesSize: 1G 3 pages: - count: 32 size: 1G net: userLevelNetworking: true numa: topologyPolicy: "single-numa-node" nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker-cnf: "" 1 If hyperthreading is enabled on the system, allocate the relevant symbolic links to the isolated and reserved CPU groups. If the system contains multiple non-uniform memory access nodes (NUMAs), allocate CPUs from both NUMAs to both groups. You can also use the Performance Profile Creator for this task. For more information, see Creating a performance profile . 2 You can also specify a list of devices that will have their queues set to the reserved CPU count. For more information, see Reducing NIC queues using the Node Tuning Operator . 3 Allocate the number and size of hugepages needed. You can specify the NUMA configuration for the hugepages. By default, the system allocates an even number to every NUMA node on the system. If needed, you can request the use of a realtime kernel for the nodes. See Provisioning a worker with real-time capabilities for more information. Save the yaml file as mlx-dpdk-perfprofile-policy.yaml . Apply the performance profile using the following command: USD oc create -f mlx-dpdk-perfprofile-policy.yaml 23.10.5.1. Example SR-IOV Network Operator for virtual functions You can use the Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Network Operator to allocate and configure Virtual Functions (VFs) from SR-IOV-supporting Physical Function NICs on the nodes. For more information on deploying the Operator, see Installing the SR-IOV Network Operator . For more information on configuring an SR-IOV network device, see Configuring an SR-IOV network device . There are some differences between running Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) workloads on Intel VFs and Mellanox VFs. This section provides object configuration examples for both VF types. The following is an example of an sriovNetworkNodePolicy object used to run DPDK applications on Intel NICs: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: dpdk-nic-1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: deviceType: vfio-pci 1 needVhostNet: true 2 nicSelector: pfNames: ["ens3f0"] nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker-cnf: "" numVfs: 10 priority: 99 resourceName: dpdk_nic_1 --- apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: dpdk-nic-1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: deviceType: vfio-pci needVhostNet: true nicSelector: pfNames: ["ens3f1"] nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker-cnf: "" numVfs: 10 priority: 99 resourceName: dpdk_nic_2 1 For Intel NICs, deviceType must be vfio-pci . 2 If kernel communication with DPDK workloads is required, add needVhostNet: true . This mounts the /dev/net/tun and /dev/vhost-net devices into the container so the application can create a tap device and connect the tap device to the DPDK workload. The following is an example of an sriovNetworkNodePolicy object for Mellanox NICs: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: dpdk-nic-1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: deviceType: netdevice 1 isRdma: true 2 nicSelector: rootDevices: - "0000:5e:00.1" nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker-cnf: "" numVfs: 5 priority: 99 resourceName: dpdk_nic_1 --- apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: dpdk-nic-2 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: deviceType: netdevice isRdma: true nicSelector: rootDevices: - "0000:5e:00.0" nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker-cnf: "" numVfs: 5 priority: 99 resourceName: dpdk_nic_2 1 For Mellanox devices the deviceType must be netdevice . 2 For Mellanox devices isRdma must be true . Mellanox cards are connected to DPDK applications using Flow Bifurcation. This mechanism splits traffic between Linux user space and kernel space, and can enhance line rate processing capability. 23.10.5.2. Example SR-IOV network operator The following is an example definition of an sriovNetwork object. In this case, Intel and Mellanox configurations are identical: apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: dpdk-network-1 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: ipam: '{"type": "host-local","ranges": [[{"subnet": "10.0.1.0/24"}]],"dataDir": "/run/my-orchestrator/container-ipam-state-1"}' 1 networkNamespace: dpdk-test 2 spoofChk: "off" trust: "on" resourceName: dpdk_nic_1 3 --- apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: dpdk-network-2 namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: ipam: '{"type": "host-local","ranges": [[{"subnet": "10.0.2.0/24"}]],"dataDir": "/run/my-orchestrator/container-ipam-state-1"}' networkNamespace: dpdk-test spoofChk: "off" trust: "on" resourceName: dpdk_nic_2 1 You can use a different IP Address Management (IPAM) implementation, such as Whereabouts. For more information, see Dynamic IP address assignment configuration with Whereabouts . 2 You must request the networkNamespace where the network attachment definition will be created. You must create the sriovNetwork CR under the openshift-sriov-network-operator namespace. 3 The resourceName value must match that of the resourceName created under the sriovNetworkNodePolicy . 23.10.5.3. Example DPDK base workload The following is an example of a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) container: apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: dpdk-test --- apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: '[ 1 { "name": "dpdk-network-1", "namespace": "dpdk-test" }, { "name": "dpdk-network-2", "namespace": "dpdk-test" } ]' irq-load-balancing.crio.io: "disable" 2 cpu-load-balancing.crio.io: "disable" cpu-quota.crio.io: "disable" labels: app: dpdk name: testpmd namespace: dpdk-test spec: runtimeClassName: performance-performance 3 containers: - command: - /bin/bash - -c - sleep INF image: registry.redhat.io/openshift4/dpdk-base-rhel8 imagePullPolicy: Always name: dpdk resources: 4 limits: cpu: "16" hugepages-1Gi: 8Gi memory: 2Gi requests: cpu: "16" hugepages-1Gi: 8Gi memory: 2Gi securityContext: capabilities: add: - IPC_LOCK - SYS_RESOURCE - NET_RAW - NET_ADMIN runAsUser: 0 volumeMounts: - mountPath: /mnt/huge name: hugepages terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 5 volumes: - emptyDir: medium: HugePages name: hugepages 1 Request the SR-IOV networks you need. Resources for the devices will be injected automatically. 2 Disable the CPU and IRQ load balancing base. See Disabling interrupt processing for individual pods for more information. 3 Set the runtimeClass to performance-performance . Do not set the runtimeClass to HostNetwork or privileged . 4 Request an equal number of resources for requests and limits to start the pod with Guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). Note Do not start the pod with SLEEP and then exec into the pod to start the testpmd or the DPDK workload. This can add additional interrupts as the exec process is not pinned to any CPU. 23.10.5.4. Example testpmd script The following is an example script for running testpmd : #!/bin/bash set -ex export CPU=USD(cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cpuset.cpus) echo USD{CPU} dpdk-testpmd -l USD{CPU} -a USD{PCIDEVICE_OPENSHIFT_IO_DPDK_NIC_1} -a USD{PCIDEVICE_OPENSHIFT_IO_DPDK_NIC_2} -n 4 -- -i --nb-cores=15 --rxd=4096 --txd=4096 --rxq=7 --txq=7 --forward-mode=mac --eth-peer=0,50:00:00:00:00:01 --eth-peer=1,50:00:00:00:00:02 This example uses two different sriovNetwork CRs. The environment variable contains the Virtual Function (VF) PCI address that was allocated for the pod. If you use the same network in the pod definition, you must split the pciAddress . It is important to configure the correct MAC addresses of the traffic generator. This example uses custom MAC addresses. 23.10.6. Using a virtual function in RDMA mode with a Mellanox NIC Important RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) is the only supported mode when using RDMA on OpenShift Container Platform. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Install the SR-IOV Network Operator. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create the following SriovNetworkNodePolicy object, and then save the YAML in the mlx-rdma-node-policy.yaml file. apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetworkNodePolicy metadata: name: mlx-rdma-node-policy namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: resourceName: mlxnics nodeSelector: feature.node.kubernetes.io/network-sriov.capable: "true" priority: <priority> numVfs: <num> nicSelector: vendor: "15b3" deviceID: "1015" 1 pfNames: ["<pf_name>", ...] rootDevices: ["<pci_bus_id>", "..."] deviceType: netdevice 2 isRdma: true 3 1 Specify the device hex code of the SR-IOV network device. 2 Specify the driver type for the virtual functions to netdevice . 3 Enable RDMA mode. Note See the Configuring SR-IOV network devices section for a detailed explanation on each option in SriovNetworkNodePolicy . When applying the configuration specified in a SriovNetworkNodePolicy object, the SR-IOV Operator may drain the nodes, and in some cases, reboot nodes. It may take several minutes for a configuration change to apply. Ensure that there are enough available nodes in your cluster to handle the evicted workload beforehand. After the configuration update is applied, all the pods in the openshift-sriov-network-operator namespace will change to a Running status. Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object by running the following command: USD oc create -f mlx-rdma-node-policy.yaml Create the following SriovNetwork object, and then save the YAML in the mlx-rdma-network.yaml file. apiVersion: sriovnetwork.openshift.io/v1 kind: SriovNetwork metadata: name: mlx-rdma-network namespace: openshift-sriov-network-operator spec: networkNamespace: <target_namespace> ipam: |- 1 # ... vlan: <vlan> resourceName: mlxnics 1 Specify a configuration object for the ipam CNI plugin as a YAML block scalar. The plugin manages IP address assignment for the attachment definition. Note See the "Configuring SR-IOV additional network" section for a detailed explanation on each option in SriovNetwork . An optional library, app-netutil, provides several API methods for gathering network information about a container's parent pod. Create the SriovNetworkNodePolicy object by running the following command: USD oc create -f mlx-rdma-network.yaml Create the following Pod spec, and then save the YAML in the mlx-rdma-pod.yaml file. apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: rdma-app namespace: <target_namespace> 1 annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: mlx-rdma-network spec: containers: - name: testpmd image: <RDMA_image> 2 securityContext: runAsUser: 0 capabilities: add: ["IPC_LOCK","SYS_RESOURCE","NET_RAW"] 3 volumeMounts: - mountPath: /mnt/huge 4 name: hugepage resources: limits: memory: "1Gi" cpu: "4" 5 hugepages-1Gi: "4Gi" 6 requests: memory: "1Gi" cpu: "4" hugepages-1Gi: "4Gi" command: ["sleep", "infinity"] volumes: - name: hugepage emptyDir: medium: HugePages 1 Specify the same target_namespace where SriovNetwork object mlx-rdma-network is created. If you would like to create the pod in a different namespace, change target_namespace in both Pod spec and SriovNetwork object. 2 Specify the RDMA image which includes your application and RDMA library used by application. 3 Specify additional capabilities required by the application inside the container for hugepage allocation, system resource allocation, and network interface access. 4 Mount the hugepage volume to RDMA pod under /mnt/huge .

This is achieved by setting CPU Manager policy to static and create pod with Guaranteed QoS. 6 Specify hugepage size hugepages-1Gi or hugepages-2Mi and the quantity of hugepages that will be allocated to the RDMA pod. Configure 2Mi and 1Gi hugepages separately. Configuring 1Gi hugepage requires adding kernel arguments to Nodes. Create the RDMA pod by running the following command: USD oc create -f mlx-rdma-pod.yaml 23.10.7. A test pod template for clusters that use OVS-DPDK on OpenStack The following testpmd pod demonstrates container creation with huge pages, reserved CPUs, and the SR-IOV port. An example testpmd pod apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: testpmd-dpdk namespace: mynamespace annotations: cpu-load-balancing.crio.io: "disable" cpu-quota.crio.io: "disable" # ... spec: containers: - name: testpmd command: ["sleep", "99999"] image: registry.redhat.io/openshift4/dpdk-base-rhel8:v4.9 securityContext: capabilities: add: ["IPC_LOCK","SYS_ADMIN"] privileged: true runAsUser: 0 resources: requests: memory: 1000Mi hugepages-1Gi: 1Gi cpu: '2' openshift.io/dpdk1: 1 1 limits: hugepages-1Gi: 1Gi cpu: '2' memory: 1000Mi openshift.io/dpdk1: 1 volumeMounts: - mountPath: /mnt/huge name: hugepage readOnly: False runtimeClassName: performance-cnf-performanceprofile 2 volumes: - name: hugepage emptyDir: medium: HugePages 1 The name dpdk1 in this example is a user-created SriovNetworkNodePolicy resource. You can substitute this name for that of a resource that you create. 2 If your performance profile is not named cnf-performance profile , replace that string with the correct performance profile name. 23.10.8.

Using pod-level bonding Bonding at the pod level is vital to enable workloads inside pods that require high availability and more throughput. With pod-level bonding, you can create a bond interface from multiple single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) virtual function interfaces in a kernel mode interface. The SR-IOV virtual functions are passed into the pod and attached to a kernel driver. One scenario where pod level bonding is required is creating a bond interface from multiple SR-IOV virtual functions on different physical functions. Creating a bond interface from two different physical functions on the host can be used to achieve high availability and throughput at pod level. For guidance on tasks such as creating a SR-IOV network, network policies, network attachment definitions and pods, see Configuring an SR-IOV network device . 23.11.1. Configuring a bond interface from two SR-IOV interfaces Bonding enables multiple network interfaces to be aggregated into a single logical "bonded" interface. Bond Container Network Interface (Bond-CNI) brings bond capability into containers. Bond-CNI can be created using Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) virtual functions and placing them in the container network namespace. OpenShift Container Platform only supports Bond-CNI using SR-IOV virtual functions. The SR-IOV Network Operator provides the SR-IOV CNI plugin needed to manage the virtual functions. Other CNIs or types of interfaces are not supported. Prerequisites The SR-IOV Network Operator must be installed and configured to obtain virtual functions in a container. To configure SR-IOV interfaces, an SR-IOV network and policy must be created for each interface. The SR-IOV Network Operator creates a network attachment definition for each SR-IOV interface, based on the SR-IOV network and policy defined. The linkState is set to the default value auto for the SR-IOV virtual function. 23.11.1.1. Creating a bond network attachment definition Now that the SR-IOV virtual functions are available, you can create a bond network attachment definition. apiVersion: "k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1" kind: NetworkAttachmentDefinition metadata: name: bond-net1 namespace: demo spec: config: '{ "type": "bond", 1 "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "bond-net1", "mode": "active-backup", 2 "failOverMac": 1, 3 "linksInContainer": true, 4 "miimon": "100", "mtu": 1500, "links": [ 5 {"name": "net1"}, {"name": "net2"} ], "ipam": { "type": "host-local", "subnet": "10.56.217.0/24", "routes": [{ "dst": "0.0.0.0/0" }], "gateway": "10.56.217.1" } }' 1 The cni-type is always set to bond . 2 The mode attribute specifies the bonding mode. Note The bonding modes supported are: balance-rr - 0 active-backup - 1 balance-xor - 2 For balance-rr or balance-xor modes, you must set the trust mode to on for the SR-IOV virtual function. 3 The failover attribute is mandatory for active-backup mode and must be set to 1. 4 The linksInContainer=true flag informs the Bond CNI that the required interfaces are to be found inside the container. By default, Bond CNI looks for these interfaces on the host which does not work for integration with SRIOV and Multus. 5 The links section defines which interfaces will be used to create the bond. By default, Multus names the attached interfaces as: "net", plus a consecutive number, starting with one. 23.11.1.2. Creating a pod using a bond interface Test the setup by creating a pod with a YAML file named for example podbonding.yaml with content similar to the following: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: bondpod1 namespace: demo annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: demo/sriovnet1, demo/sriovnet2, demo/bond-net1 1 spec: containers: - name: podexample image: quay.io/openshift/origin-network-interface-bond-cni:4.11.0 command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "sleep INF"] 1 Note the network annotation: it contains two SR-IOV network attachments, and one bond network attachment. The bond attachment uses the two SR-IOV interfaces as bonded port interfaces. Apply the yaml by running the following command: USD oc apply -f podbonding.yaml Inspect the pod interfaces with the following command: USD oc rsh -n demo bondpod1 sh-4.4# sh-4.4# ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth0@if150: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue state UP link/ether 62:b1:b5:c8:fb:7a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.244.1.122/24 brd 10.244.1.255 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: net3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP400> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 9e:23:69:42:fb:8a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 1 inet 10.56.217.66/24 scope global bond0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 43: net1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP800> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond0 state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 9e:23:69:42:fb:8a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 2 44: net2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP800> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master bond0 state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 9e:23:69:42:fb:8a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3 1 The bond interface is automatically named net3 . To set a specific interface name add @name suffix to the pod's k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks annotation. 2 The net1 interface is based on an SR-IOV virtual function. 3 The net2 interface is based on an SR-IOV virtual function. Note If no interface names are configured in the pod annotation, interface names are assigned automatically as net<n> , with <n> starting at 1 . Optional: If you want to set a specific interface name for example bond0 , edit the k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks annotation and set bond0 as the interface name as follows: annotations: k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: demo/sriovnet1, demo/sriovnet2, demo/bond-net1@bond0 23.12. Configuring hardware offloading As a cluster administrator, you can configure hardware offloading on compatible nodes to increase data processing performance and reduce load on host CPUs. 23.12.1. About hardware offloading Open vSwitch hardware offloading is a method of processing network tasks by diverting them away from the CPU and offloading them to a dedicated processor on a network interface controller. As a result, clusters can benefit from faster data transfer speeds, reduced CPU workloads, and lower computing costs. The key element for this feature is a modern class of network interface controllers known as SmartNICs. A SmartNIC is a network interface controller that is able to handle computationally-heavy network processing tasks. In the same way that a dedicated graphics card can improve graphics performance, a SmartNIC can improve network performance. In each case, a dedicated processor improves performance for a specific type of processing task. In OpenShift Container Platform, you can configure hardware offloading for bare metal nodes that have a compatible SmartNIC. Hardware offloading is configured and enabled by the SR-IOV Network Operator. Hardware offloading is not compatible with all workloads or application types. Only the following two communication types are supported: pod-to-pod pod-to-service, where the service is a ClusterIP service backed by a regular pod In all cases, hardware offloading takes place only when those pods and services are assigned to nodes that have a compatible SmartNIC. Suppose, for example, that a pod on a node with hardware offloading tries to communicate with a service on a regular node. On the regular node, all the processing takes place in the kernel, so the overall performance of the pod-to-service communication is limited to the maximum performance of that regular node. Hardware offloading is not compatible with DPDK applications. Enabling hardware offloading on a node, but not configuring pods to use, it can result in decreased throughput performance for pod traffic. You cannot configure hardware offloading for pods that are managed by OpenShift Container Platform. 23.12.2. Supported devices Hardware offloading is supported on the following network interface controllers: Table 23.15. Supported network interface controllers Manufacturer Model Vendor ID Device ID Mellanox MT27800 Family [ConnectX‐5] 15b3 1017 Mellanox MT28880 Family [ConnectX‐5 Ex] 15b3 1019 Mellanox MT2892 Family [ConnectX‐6 Dx] 15b3 101d Mellanox MT2894 Family [ConnectX-6 Lx] 15b3 101f Mellanox MT42822 BlueField-2 in ConnectX-6 NIC mode 15b3 a2d6 23.12.3.

Create the resource by running the following command: USD oc apply -f sriovOperatorConfig.yaml 23.12.5. Configuring a machine config pool for hardware offloading To enable hardware offloading, you now create a dedicated machine config pool and configure it to work with the SR-IOV Network Operator. Prerequisites SR-IOV Network Operator installed and set into systemd mode. Procedure Create a machine config pool for machines you want to use hardware offloading on. Create a file, such as mcp-offloading.yaml , with content like the following example: apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1 kind: MachineConfigPool metadata: name: mcp-offloading 1 spec: machineConfigSelector: matchExpressions: - {key: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role, operator: In, values: [worker,mcp-offloading]} 2 nodeSelector: matchLabels: node-role.kubernetes.io/mcp-offloading: "" 3 1 2 The name of your machine config pool for hardware offloading. 3 This node role label is used to add nodes to the machine config pool.

By default, the first device is selected. If there is more than one device, you must specify which PCI address to be used. The PCI address must be the same on all nodes that are switching Bluefield-2 from DPU mode to NIC mode. Wait for the worker nodes to restart. After restarting, the Bluefield-2 network device on the worker nodes is switched into NIC mode. Optional: You might need to restart the host hardware because most recent Bluefield-2 firmware releases require a hardware restart to switch into NIC mode.
