Chapter 17. Using Precision Time Protocol (PTP) hardware You can configure linuxptp services and use PTP-capable hardware in OpenShift Container Platform cluster nodes. 17.1. About PTP hardware You can use the OpenShift Container Platform console or OpenShift CLI ( oc ) to install PTP by deploying the PTP Operator. The PTP Operator creates and manages the linuxptp services and provides the following features: Discovery of the PTP-capable devices in the cluster. Management of the configuration of linuxptp services. Notification of PTP clock events that negatively affect the performance and reliability of your application with the PTP Operator cloud-event-proxy sidecar. Note The PTP Operator works with PTP-capable devices on clusters provisioned only on bare-metal infrastructure. 17.2. About PTP Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used to synchronize clocks in a network. When used in conjunction with hardware support, PTP is capable of sub-microsecond accuracy, and is more accurate than Network Time Protocol (NTP). 17.2.1. Elements of a PTP domain PTP is used to synchronize multiple nodes connected in a network, with clocks for each node. The clocks synchronized by PTP are organized in a source-destination hierarchy. The hierarchy is created and updated automatically by the best master clock (BMC) algorithm, which runs on every clock. Destination clocks are synchronized to source clocks, and destination clocks can themselves be the source for other downstream clocks. The three primary types of PTP clocks are described below. Grandmaster clock The grandmaster clock provides standard time information to other clocks across the network and ensures accurate and stable synchronisation. It writes time stamps and responds to time requests from other clocks. Grandmaster clocks synchronize to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) time source. The Grandmaster clock is the authoritative source of time in the network and is responsible for providing time synchronization to all other devices. Ordinary clock The ordinary clock has a single port connection that can play the role of source or destination clock, depending on its position in the network. The ordinary clock can read and write time stamps. Boundary clock The boundary clock has ports in two or more communication paths and can be a source and a destination to other destination clocks at the same time. The boundary clock works as a destination clock upstream. The destination clock receives the timing message, adjusts for delay, and then creates a new source time signal to pass down the network. The boundary clock produces a new timing packet that is still correctly synced with the source clock and can reduce the number of connected devices reporting directly to the source clock. 17.2.2. Advantages of PTP over NTP One of the main advantages that PTP has over NTP is the hardware support present in various network interface controllers (NIC) and network switches. The specialized hardware allows PTP to account for delays in message transfer and improves the accuracy of time synchronization. To achieve the best possible accuracy, it is recommended that all networking components between PTP clocks are PTP hardware enabled. Hardware-based PTP provides optimal accuracy, since the NIC can time stamp the PTP packets at the exact moment they are sent and received. Compare this to software-based PTP, which requires additional processing of the PTP packets by the operating system. Important Before enabling PTP, ensure that NTP is disabled for the required nodes. You can disable the chrony time service ( chronyd ) using a MachineConfig custom resource. For more information, see Disabling chrony time service . 17.2.3. Using PTP with dual NIC hardware OpenShift Container Platform supports single and dual NIC hardware for precision PTP timing in the cluster. For 5G telco networks that deliver mid-band spectrum coverage, each virtual distributed unit (vDU) requires connections to 6 radio units (RUs). To make these connections, each vDU host requires 2 NICs configured as boundary clocks. Dual NIC hardware allows you to connect each NIC to the same upstream leader clock with separate ptp4l instances for each NIC feeding the downstream clocks. 17.3. Overview of linuxptp in OpenShift Container Platform nodes OpenShift Container Platform uses PTP and linuxptp for high precision system timing in bare-metal infrastructure. The linuxptp package includes the ts2phc , pmc , ptp4l , and phc2sys programs for system clock synchronization. ts2phc ts2phc synchronizes the PTP hardware clock (PHC) across PTP devices with a high degree of precision. ts2phc is used in grandmaster clock configurations. It receives the precision timing signal a high precision clock source such as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). GNSS provides an accurate and reliable source of synchronized time for use in large distributed networks. GNSS clocks typically provide time information with a precision of a few nanoseconds. The ts2phc system daemon sends timing information from the grandmaster clock to other PTP devices in the network by reading time information from the grandmaster clock and converting it to PHC format. PHC time is used by other devices in the network to synchronize their clocks with the grandmaster clock. pmc pmc implements a PTP management client ( pmc ) according to IEEE standard 1588.1588. pmc provides basic management access for the ptp4l system daemon. pmc reads from standard input and sends the output over the selected transport, printing any replies it receives. ptp4l ptp4l implements the PTP boundary clock and ordinary clock and runs as a system daemon. ptp4l does the following: Synchronizes the PHC to the source clock with hardware time stamping Synchronizes the system clock to the source clock with software time stamping phc2sys phc2sys synchronizes the system clock to the PHC on the network interface controller (NIC). The phc2sys system daemon continuously monitors the PHC for timing information. When it detects a timing error, the PHC corrects the system clock. 17.4. Installing the PTP Operator using the CLI As a cluster administrator, you can install the Operator by using the CLI. Prerequisites A cluster installed on bare-metal hardware with nodes that have hardware that supports PTP. Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create a namespace for the PTP Operator. Save the following YAML in the ptp-namespace.yaml file: apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: openshift-ptp annotations: workload.openshift.io/allowed: management labels: name: openshift-ptp openshift.io/cluster-monitoring: "true" Create the Namespace CR: USD oc create -f ptp-namespace.yaml Create an Operator group for the PTP Operator.

Save the following YAML in the ptp-sub.yaml file: apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: name: ptp-operator-subscription namespace: openshift-ptp spec: channel: "stable" name: ptp-operator source: redhat-operators sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace Create the Subscription CR: USD oc create -f ptp-sub.yaml To verify that the Operator is installed, enter the following command: USD oc get csv -n openshift-ptp -o custom-columns=Name:.metadata.name,Phase:.status.phase Example output Name Phase 4.13.0-202301261535 Succeeded 17.5. Installing the PTP Operator using the web console As a cluster administrator, you can install the PTP Operator using the web console. Note You have to create the namespace and Operator group as mentioned in the section. Procedure Install the PTP Operator using the OpenShift Container Platform web console: In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, click Operators OperatorHub . Choose PTP Operator from the list of available Operators, and then click Install . On the Install Operator page, under A specific namespace on the cluster select openshift-ptp . Then, click Install . Optional: Verify that the PTP Operator installed successfully: Switch to the Operators Installed Operators page. Ensure that PTP Operator is listed in the openshift-ptp project with a Status of InstallSucceeded . Note During installation an Operator might display a Failed status. If the installation later succeeds with an InstallSucceeded message, you can ignore the Failed message. If the Operator does not appear as installed, to troubleshoot further: Go to the Operators Installed Operators page and inspect the Operator Subscriptions and Install Plans tabs for any failure or errors under Status . Go to the Workloads Pods page and check the logs for pods in the openshift-ptp project. 17.6. Configuring PTP devices The PTP Operator adds the NodePtpDevice.ptp.openshift.io custom resource definition (CRD) to OpenShift Container Platform. When installed, the PTP Operator searches your cluster for PTP-capable network devices on each node. It creates and updates a NodePtpDevice custom resource (CR) object for each node that provides a compatible PTP-capable network device. 17.6.1. Discovering PTP-capable network devices in your cluster Identify PTP-capable network devices that exist in your cluster so that you can configure them Prerequisties You installed the PTP Operator. Procedure To return a complete list of PTP capable network devices in your cluster, run the following command: USD oc get NodePtpDevice -n openshift-ptp -o yaml Example output apiVersion: v1 items: - apiVersion: ptp.openshift.io/v1 kind: NodePtpDevice metadata: creationTimestamp: "2022-01-27T15:16:28Z" generation: 1 name: dev-worker-0 1 namespace: openshift-ptp resourceVersion: "6538103" uid: d42fc9ad-bcbf-4590-b6d8-b676c642781a spec: {} status: devices: 2 - name: eno1 - name: eno2 - name: eno3 - name: eno4 - name: enp5s0f0 - name: enp5s0f1 ... 1 The value for the name parameter is the same as the name of the parent node. 2 The devices collection includes a list of the PTP capable devices that the PTP Operator discovers for the node. 17.6.2. Configuring linuxptp services as a grandmaster clock You can configure the linuxptp services ( ptp4l , phc2sys , ts2phc ) as a grandmaster clock (T-GM) by creating a PtpConfig custom resource (CR) that configures the host NIC. The ts2phc utility allows you to synchronize the system clock with the PTP grandmaster clock so that the node can stream precision clock signal to downstream PTP ordinary clocks and boundary clocks. Note Use the following example PtpConfig CR as the basis to configure linuxptp services as the grandmaster clock for your particular hardware and environment. This example CR does not configure PTP fast events. To configure PTP fast events, set appropriate values for ptp4lOpts , ptp4lConf , and ptpClockThreshold . ptpClockThreshold is used only when events are enabled. See "Configuring the PTP fast event notifications publisher" for more information. Prerequisites For T-GM clocks in production environments, install an Intel E810 Westport Channel NIC in the bare-metal cluster host. Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Install the PTP Operator. Procedure Create the PtpConfig resource. For example: Depending on your requirements, use one of the following T-GM configurations for your deployment. Save the YAML in the grandmaster-clock-ptp-config.yaml file: Example 17.1.

Grandmaster clock PtpConfig configuration reference The following reference information describes the configuration options for the PtpConfig custom resource (CR) that configures the linuxptp services ( ptp4l , phc2sys , ts2phc ) as a grandmaster clock. Table 17.1. PtpConfig configuration options for PTP Grandmaster clock PtpConfig CR field Description plugins Specify an array of .exec.cmdline options that configure the NIC for grandmaster clock operation. Grandmaster clock configuration requires certain PTP pins to be disabled. The plugin mechanism allows the PTP Operator to do automated hardware configuration. For the Intel Westport Channel NIC, when enableDefaultConfig is true, The PTP Operator runs a hard-coded script to do the required configuration for the NIC. ptp4lOpts Specify system configuration options for the ptp4l service. The options should not include the network interface name -i <interface> and service config file -f /etc/ptp4l.conf because the network interface name and the service config file are automatically appended. ptp4lConf Specify the required configuration to start ptp4l as a grandmaster clock. For example, the ens2f1 interface synchronizes downstream connected devices. For grandmaster clocks, set clockClass to 6 and set clockAccuracy to 0x27 . Set timeSource to 0x20 for when receiving the timing signal from a Global navigation satellite system (GNSS). tx_timestamp_timeout Specify the maximum amount of time to wait for the transmit (TX) timestamp from the sender before discarding the data. boundary_clock_jbod Specify the JBOD boundary clock time delay value. This value is used to correct the time values that are passed between the network time devices. phc2sysOpts Specify system config options for the phc2sys service. If this field is empty the PTP Operator does not start the phc2sys service. Note Ensure that the network interface listed here is configured as grandmaster and is referenced as required in the ts2phcConf and ptp4lConf fields. ptpSchedulingPolicy Configure the scheduling policy for ptp4l and phc2sys processes. Default value is SCHED_OTHER . Use SCHED_FIFO on systems that support FIFO scheduling. ptpSchedulingPriority Set an integer value from 1-65 to configure FIFO priority for ptp4l and phc2sys processes when ptpSchedulingPolicy is set to SCHED_FIFO . The ptpSchedulingPriority field is not used when ptpSchedulingPolicy is set to SCHED_OTHER . ptpClockThreshold Optional. If ptpClockThreshold stanza is not present, default values are used for ptpClockThreshold fields. Stanza shows default ptpClockThreshold values. ptpClockThreshold values configure how long after the PTP master clock is disconnected before PTP events are triggered. holdOverTimeout is the time value in seconds before the PTP clock event state changes to FREERUN when the PTP master clock is disconnected. The maxOffsetThreshold and minOffsetThreshold settings configure offset values in nanoseconds that compare against the values for CLOCK_REALTIME ( phc2sys ) or master offset ( ptp4l ). When the ptp4l or phc2sys offset value is outside this range, the PTP clock state is set to FREERUN . When the offset value is within this range, the PTP clock state is set to LOCKED . ts2phcConf Sets the configuration for the ts2phc command. leapfile is the default path to the current leap seconds definition file in the PTP Operator container image. ts2phc.nmea_serialport is the serial port device that is connected to the NMEA GPS clock source. When configured, the GNSS receiver is accessible on /dev/gnss<id> . If the host has multiple GNSS receivers, you can find the correct device by enumerating either of the following devices: /sys/class/net/<eth_port>/device/gnss/ /sys/class/gnss/gnss<id>/device/ ts2phcOpts Set options for the ts2phc command. recommend Specify an array of one or more recommend objects that define rules on how the profile should be applied to nodes. .recommend.profile Specify the .recommend.profile object name that is defined in the profile section. .recommend.priority Specify the priority with an integer value between 0 and 99 . A larger number gets lower priority, so a priority of 99 is lower than a priority of 10 . If a node can be matched with multiple profiles according to rules defined in the match field, the profile with the higher priority is applied to that node. .recommend.match Specify .recommend.match rules with nodeLabel or nodeName values. .recommend.match.nodeLabel Set nodeLabel with the key of the node.Labels field from the node object by using the oc get nodes --show-labels command. For example, node-role.kubernetes.io/worker . .recommend.match.nodeName Set nodeName with the value of the node.Name field from the node object by using the oc get nodes command. For example, compute-1.example.com . 17.6.3. Configuring linuxptp services as an ordinary clock You can configure linuxptp services ( ptp4l , phc2sys ) as ordinary clock by creating a PtpConfig custom resource (CR) object. Note Use the following example PtpConfig CR as the basis to configure linuxptp services as an ordinary clock for your particular hardware and environment. This example CR does not configure PTP fast events. To configure PTP fast events, set appropriate values for ptp4lOpts , ptp4lConf , and ptpClockThreshold . ptpClockThreshold is required only when events are enabled. See "Configuring the PTP fast event notifications publisher" for more information. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Install the PTP Operator. Procedure Create the following PtpConfig CR, and then save the YAML in the ordinary-clock-ptp-config.yaml file.

PTP ordinary clock CR configuration options Custom resource field Description name The name of the PtpConfig CR. profile Specify an array of one or more profile objects. Each profile must be uniquely named. interface Specify the network interface to be used by the ptp4l service, for example ens787f1 . ptp4lOpts Specify system config options for the ptp4l service, for example -2 to select the IEEE 802.3 network transport. The options should not include the network interface name -i <interface> and service config file -f /etc/ptp4l.conf because the network interface name and the service config file are automatically appended. Append --summary_interval -4 to use PTP fast events with this interface. phc2sysOpts Specify system config options for the phc2sys service. If this field is empty, the PTP Operator does not start the phc2sys service. For Intel Columbiaville 800 Series NICs, set phc2sysOpts options to -a -r -m -n 24 -N 8 -R 16 . -m prints messages to stdout . The linuxptp-daemon DaemonSet parses the logs and generates Prometheus metrics. ptp4lConf Specify a string that contains the configuration to replace the default /etc/ptp4l.conf file. To use the default configuration, leave the field empty. tx_timestamp_timeout For Intel Columbiaville 800 Series NICs, set tx_timestamp_timeout to 50 . boundary_clock_jbod For Intel Columbiaville 800 Series NICs, set boundary_clock_jbod to 0 . ptpSchedulingPolicy Scheduling policy for ptp4l and phc2sys processes. Default value is SCHED_OTHER . Use SCHED_FIFO on systems that support FIFO scheduling. ptpSchedulingPriority Integer value from 1-65 used to set FIFO priority for ptp4l and phc2sys processes when ptpSchedulingPolicy is set to SCHED_FIFO . The ptpSchedulingPriority field is not used when ptpSchedulingPolicy is set to SCHED_OTHER . ptpClockThreshold Optional. If ptpClockThreshold is not present, default values are used for the ptpClockThreshold fields. ptpClockThreshold configures how long after the PTP master clock is disconnected before PTP events are triggered. holdOverTimeout is the time value in seconds before the PTP clock event state changes to FREERUN when the PTP master clock is disconnected. The maxOffsetThreshold and minOffsetThreshold settings configure offset values in nanoseconds that compare against the values for CLOCK_REALTIME ( phc2sys ) or master offset ( ptp4l ). When the ptp4l or phc2sys offset value is outside this range, the PTP clock state is set to FREERUN . When the offset value is within this range, the PTP clock state is set to LOCKED . recommend Specify an array of one or more recommend objects that define rules on how the profile should be applied to nodes. .recommend.profile Specify the .recommend.profile object name defined in the profile section. .recommend.priority Set .recommend.priority to 0 for ordinary clock. .recommend.match Specify .recommend.match rules with nodeLabel or nodeName values. .recommend.match.nodeLabel Set nodeLabel with the key of the node.Labels field from the node object by using the oc get nodes --show-labels command.

Configuring linuxptp services as a boundary clock You can configure the linuxptp services ( ptp4l , phc2sys ) as boundary clock by creating a PtpConfig custom resource (CR) object. Note Use the following example PtpConfig CR as the basis to configure linuxptp services as the boundary clock for your particular hardware and environment. This example CR does not configure PTP fast events. To configure PTP fast events, set appropriate values for ptp4lOpts , ptp4lConf , and ptpClockThreshold . ptpClockThreshold is used only when events are enabled. See "Configuring the PTP fast event notifications publisher" for more information. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Install the PTP Operator. Procedure Create the following PtpConfig CR, and then save the YAML in the boundary-clock-ptp-config.yaml file.

The options should not include the network interface name -i <interface> and service config file -f /etc/ptp4l.conf because the network interface name and the service config file are automatically appended. ptp4lConf Specify the required configuration to start ptp4l as boundary clock. For example, ens1f0 synchronizes from a grandmaster clock and ens1f3 synchronizes connected devices. <interface_1> The interface that receives the synchronization clock. <interface_2> The interface that sends the synchronization clock. tx_timestamp_timeout For Intel Columbiaville 800 Series NICs, set tx_timestamp_timeout to 50 . boundary_clock_jbod For Intel Columbiaville 800 Series NICs, ensure boundary_clock_jbod is set to 0 . For Intel Fortville X710 Series NICs, ensure boundary_clock_jbod is set to 1 . phc2sysOpts Specify system config options for the phc2sys service. If this field is empty, the PTP Operator does not start the phc2sys service. ptpSchedulingPolicy Scheduling policy for ptp4l and phc2sys processes. Default value is SCHED_OTHER . Use SCHED_FIFO on systems that support FIFO scheduling. ptpSchedulingPriority Integer value from 1-65 used to set FIFO priority for ptp4l and phc2sys processes when ptpSchedulingPolicy is set to SCHED_FIFO . The ptpSchedulingPriority field is not used when ptpSchedulingPolicy is set to SCHED_OTHER . ptpClockThreshold Optional. If ptpClockThreshold is not present, default values are used for the ptpClockThreshold fields. ptpClockThreshold configures how long after the PTP master clock is disconnected before PTP events are triggered. holdOverTimeout is the time value in seconds before the PTP clock event state changes to FREERUN when the PTP master clock is disconnected. The maxOffsetThreshold and minOffsetThreshold settings configure offset values in nanoseconds that compare against the values for CLOCK_REALTIME ( phc2sys ) or master offset ( ptp4l ). When the ptp4l or phc2sys offset value is outside this range, the PTP clock state is set to FREERUN . When the offset value is within this range, the PTP clock state is set to LOCKED . recommend Specify an array of one or more recommend objects that define rules on how the profile should be applied to nodes. .recommend.profile Specify the .recommend.profile object name defined in the profile section. .recommend.priority Specify the priority with an integer value between 0 and 99 . A larger number gets lower priority, so a priority of 99 is lower than a priority of 10 . If a node can be matched with multiple profiles according to rules defined in the match field, the profile with the higher priority is applied to that node. .recommend.match Specify .recommend.match rules with nodeLabel or nodeName values. .recommend.match.nodeLabel Set nodeLabel with the key of the node.Labels field from the node object by using the oc get nodes --show-labels command. For example, node-role.kubernetes.io/worker . .recommend.match.nodeName Set nodeName with the value of the node.Name field from the node object by using the oc get nodes command.

Configuring linuxptp services as boundary clocks for dual NIC hardware You can configure the linuxptp services ( ptp4l , phc2sys ) as boundary clocks for dual-NIC hardware by creating a PtpConfig custom resource (CR) object for each NIC. Dual NIC hardware allows you to connect each NIC to the same upstream leader clock with separate ptp4l instances for each NIC feeding the downstream clocks. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Install the PTP Operator. Procedure Create two separate PtpConfig CRs, one for each NIC, using the reference CR in "Configuring linuxptp services as a boundary clock" as the basis for each CR. For example: Create boundary-clock-ptp-config-nic1.yaml , specifying values for phc2sysOpts : apiVersion: ptp.openshift.io/v1 kind: PtpConfig metadata: name: boundary-clock-ptp-config-nic1 namespace: openshift-ptp spec: profile: - name: "profile1" ptp4lOpts: "-2 --summary_interval -4" ptp4lConf: | 1 [ens5f1] masterOnly 1 [ens5f0] masterOnly 0 ... phc2sysOpts: "-a -r -m -n 24 -N 8 -R 16" 2 1 Specify the required interfaces to start ptp4l as a boundary clock. For example, ens5f0 synchronizes from a grandmaster clock and ens5f1 synchronizes connected devices. 2 Required phc2sysOpts values. -m prints messages to stdout . The linuxptp-daemon DaemonSet parses the logs and generates Prometheus metrics. Create boundary-clock-ptp-config-nic2.yaml , removing the phc2sysOpts field altogether to disable the phc2sys service for the second NIC: apiVersion: ptp.openshift.io/v1 kind: PtpConfig metadata: name: boundary-clock-ptp-config-nic2 namespace: openshift-ptp spec: profile: - name: "profile2" ptp4lOpts: "-2 --summary_interval -4" ptp4lConf: | 1 [ens7f1] masterOnly 1 [ens7f0] masterOnly 0 ... 1 Specify the required interfaces to start ptp4l as a boundary clock on the second NIC. Note You must completely remove the phc2sysOpts field from the second PtpConfig CR to disable the phc2sys service on the second NIC. Create the dual NIC PtpConfig CRs by running the following commands: Create the CR that configures PTP for the first NIC: USD oc create -f boundary-clock-ptp-config-nic1.yaml Create the CR that configures PTP for the second NIC: USD oc create -f boundary-clock-ptp-config-nic2.yaml Verification Check that the PTP Operator has applied the PtpConfig CRs for both NICs. Examine the logs for the linuxptp daemon corresponding to the node that has the dual NIC hardware installed. For example, run the following command: USD oc logs linuxptp-daemon-cvgr6 -n openshift-ptp -c linuxptp-daemon-container Example output ptp4l[80828.335]: [ptp4l.1.config] master offset 5 s2 freq -5727 path delay 519 ptp4l[80828.343]: [ptp4l.0.config] master offset -5 s2 freq -10607 path delay 533 phc2sys[80828.390]: [ptp4l.0.config] CLOCK_REALTIME phc offset 1 s2 freq -87239 delay 539 17.6.6. Intel Columbiaville E800 series NIC as PTP ordinary clock reference The following table describes the changes that you must make to the reference PTP configuration in order to use Intel Columbiaville E800 series NICs as ordinary clocks. Make the changes in a PtpConfig custom resource (CR) that you apply to the cluster. Table 17.4. Recommended PTP settings for Intel Columbiaville NIC PTP configuration Recommended setting phc2sysOpts -a -r -m -n 24 -N 8 -R 16 tx_timestamp_timeout 50 boundary_clock_jbod 0 Note For phc2sysOpts , -m prints messages to stdout . The linuxptp-daemon DaemonSet parses the logs and generates Prometheus metrics. Additional resources For a complete example CR that configures linuxptp services as an ordinary clock with PTP fast events, see Configuring linuxptp services as ordinary clock . 17.6.7. Configuring FIFO priority scheduling for PTP hardware In telco or other deployment configurations that require low latency performance, PTP daemon threads run in a constrained CPU footprint alongside the rest of the infrastructure components. By default, PTP threads run with the SCHED_OTHER policy. Under high load, these threads might not get the scheduling latency they require for error-free operation. To mitigate against potential scheduling latency errors, you can configure the PTP Operator linuxptp services to allow threads to run with a SCHED_FIFO policy. If SCHED_FIFO is set for a PtpConfig CR, then ptp4l and phc2sys will run in the parent container under chrt with a priority set by the ptpSchedulingPriority field of the PtpConfig CR. Note Setting ptpSchedulingPolicy is optional, and is only required if you are experiencing latency errors. Procedure Edit the PtpConfig CR profile: USD oc edit PtpConfig -n openshift-ptp Change the ptpSchedulingPolicy and ptpSchedulingPriority fields: apiVersion: ptp.openshift.io/v1 kind: PtpConfig metadata: name: <ptp_config_name> namespace: openshift-ptp ... spec: profile: - name: "profile1" ... ptpSchedulingPolicy: SCHED_FIFO 1 ptpSchedulingPriority: 10 2 1 Scheduling policy for ptp4l and phc2sys processes. Use SCHED_FIFO on systems that support FIFO scheduling. 2 Required. Sets the integer value 1-65 used to configure FIFO priority for ptp4l and phc2sys processes. Save and exit to apply the changes to the PtpConfig CR. Verification Get the name of the linuxptp-daemon pod and corresponding node where the PtpConfig CR has been applied: USD oc get pods -n openshift-ptp -o wide Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE linuxptp-daemon-gmv2n 3/3 Running 0 1d17h 10.1.196.24 compute-0.example.com linuxptp-daemon-lgm55 3/3 Running 0 1d17h 10.1.196.25 compute-1.example.com ptp-operator-3r4dcvf7f4-zndk7 1/1 Running 0 1d7h 10.129.0.61 control-plane-1.example.com Check that the ptp4l process is running with the updated chrt FIFO priority: USD oc -n openshift-ptp logs linuxptp-daemon-lgm55 -c linuxptp-daemon-container|grep chrt Example output I1216 19:24:57.091872 1600715 daemon.go:285] /bin/chrt -f 65 /usr/sbin/ptp4l -f /var/run/ptp4l.0.config -2 --summary_interval -4 -m 17.6.8. Configuring log filtering for linuxptp services The linuxptp daemon generates logs that you can use for debugging purposes. In telco or other deployment configurations that feature a limited storage capacity, these logs can add to the storage demand. To reduce the number log messages, you can configure the PtpConfig custom resource (CR) to exclude log messages that report the master offset value. The master offset log message reports the difference between the current node's clock and the master clock in nanoseconds. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Install the PTP Operator. Procedure Edit the PtpConfig CR: USD oc edit PtpConfig -n openshift-ptp In spec.profile , add the ptpSettings.logReduce specification and set the value to true : apiVersion: ptp.openshift.io/v1 kind: PtpConfig metadata: name: <ptp_config_name> namespace: openshift-ptp ... spec: profile: - name: "profile1" ... ptpSettings: logReduce: "true" Note For debugging purposes, you can revert this specification to False to include the master offset messages. Save and exit to apply the changes to the PtpConfig CR. Verification Get the name of the linuxptp-daemon pod and corresponding node where the PtpConfig CR has been applied: USD oc get pods -n openshift-ptp -o wide Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE linuxptp-daemon-gmv2n 3/3 Running 0 1d17h 10.1.196.24 compute-0.example.com linuxptp-daemon-lgm55 3/3 Running 0 1d17h 10.1.196.25 compute-1.example.com ptp-operator-3r4dcvf7f4-zndk7 1/1 Running 0 1d7h 10.129.0.61 control-plane-1.example.com Verify that master offset messages are excluded from the logs by running the following command: USD oc -n openshift-ptp logs <linux_daemon_container> -c linuxptp-daemon-container | grep "master offset" 1 1 <linux_daemon_container> is the name of the linuxptp-daemon pod, for example linuxptp-daemon-gmv2n . When you configure the logReduce specification, this command does not report any instances of master offset in the logs of the linuxptp daemon. 17.7. Troubleshooting common PTP Operator issues Troubleshoot common problems with the PTP Operator by performing the following steps. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift Container Platform CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Install the PTP Operator on a bare-metal cluster with hosts that support PTP.

Collecting Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Operator data You can use the oc adm must-gather CLI command to collect information about your cluster, including features and objects associated with Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Operator. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have installed the PTP Operator. Procedure To collect PTP Operator data with must-gather , you must specify the PTP Operator must-gather image. USD oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/openshift4/ptp-must-gather-rhel8:v4.13 17.8. PTP hardware fast event notifications framework Cloud native applications such as virtual RAN (vRAN) require access to notifications about hardware timing events that are critical to the functioning of the overall network. PTP clock synchronization errors can negatively affect the performance and reliability of your low-latency application, for example, a vRAN application running in a distributed unit (DU). 17.8.1. About PTP and clock synchronization error events Loss of PTP synchronization is a critical error for a RAN network. If synchronization is lost on a node, the radio might be shut down and the network Over the Air (OTA) traffic might be shifted to another node in the wireless network. Fast event notifications mitigate against workload errors by allowing cluster nodes to communicate PTP clock sync status to the vRAN application running in the DU. Event notifications are available to vRAN applications running on the same DU node. A publish-subscribe REST API passes events notifications to the messaging bus. Publish-subscribe messaging, or pub-sub messaging, is an asynchronous service-to-service communication architecture where any message published to a topic is immediately received by all of the subscribers to the topic. The PTP Operator generates fast event notifications for every PTP-capable network interface. You can access the events by using a cloud-event-proxy sidecar container over an HTTP or Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) message bus. Note PTP fast event notifications are available for network interfaces configured to use PTP ordinary clocks or PTP boundary clocks. Note HTTP transport is the default transport for PTP and bare-metal events. Use HTTP transport instead of AMQP for PTP and bare-metal events where possible. AMQ Interconnect is EOL from 30 June 2024. Extended life cycle support (ELS) for AMQ Interconnect ends 29 November 2029. For more information see, Red Hat AMQ Interconnect support status . 17.8.2. About the PTP fast event notifications framework Use the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) fast event notifications framework to subscribe cluster applications to PTP events that the bare-metal cluster node generates. Note The fast events notifications framework uses a REST API for communication. The REST API is based on the O-RAN O-Cloud Notification API Specification for Event Consumers 3.0 that is available from O-RAN ALLIANCE Specifications . The framework consists of a publisher, subscriber, and an AMQ or HTTP messaging protocol to handle communications between the publisher and subscriber applications. Applications run the cloud-event-proxy container in a sidecar pattern to subscribe to PTP events. The cloud-event-proxy sidecar container can access the same resources as the primary application container without using any of the resources of the primary application and with no significant latency. Note HTTP transport is the default transport for PTP and bare-metal events. Use HTTP transport instead of AMQP for PTP and bare-metal events where possible. AMQ Interconnect is EOL from 30 June 2024. Extended life cycle support (ELS) for AMQ Interconnect ends 29 November 2029. For more information see, Red Hat AMQ Interconnect support status . Figure 17.1. Overview of PTP fast events Event is generated on the cluster host linuxptp-daemon in the PTP Operator-managed pod runs as a Kubernetes DaemonSet and manages the various linuxptp processes ( ptp4l , phc2sys , and optionally for grandmaster clocks, ts2phc ). The linuxptp-daemon passes the event to the UNIX domain socket. Event is passed to the cloud-event-proxy sidecar The PTP plugin reads the event from the UNIX domain socket and passes it to the cloud-event-proxy sidecar in the PTP Operator-managed pod. cloud-event-proxy delivers the event from the Kubernetes infrastructure to Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNFs) with low latency. Event is persisted The cloud-event-proxy sidecar in the PTP Operator-managed pod processes the event and publishes the cloud-native event by using a REST API. Message is transported The message transporter transports the event to the cloud-event-proxy sidecar in the application pod over HTTP or AMQP 1.0 QPID. Event is available from the REST API The cloud-event-proxy sidecar in the Application pod processes the event and makes it available by using the REST API. Consumer application requests a subscription and receives the subscribed event The consumer application sends an API request to the cloud-event-proxy sidecar in the application pod to create a PTP events subscription. The cloud-event-proxy sidecar creates an AMQ or HTTP messaging listener protocol for the resource specified in the subscription. The cloud-event-proxy sidecar in the application pod receives the event from the PTP Operator-managed pod, unwraps the cloud events object to retrieve the data, and posts the event to the consumer application. The consumer application listens to the address specified in the resource qualifier and receives and processes the PTP event. 17.8.3. Configuring the PTP fast event notifications publisher To start using PTP fast event notifications for a network interface in your cluster, you must enable the fast event publisher in the PTP Operator PtpOperatorConfig custom resource (CR) and configure ptpClockThreshold values in a PtpConfig CR that you create. Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift Container Platform CLI ( oc ). You have logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You have installed the PTP Operator. Procedure Modify the default PTP Operator config to enable PTP fast events. Save the following YAML in the ptp-operatorconfig.yaml file: apiVersion: ptp.openshift.io/v1 kind: PtpOperatorConfig metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ptp spec: daemonNodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" ptpEventConfig: enableEventPublisher: true 1 1 Set enableEventPublisher to true to enable PTP fast event notifications. Note In OpenShift Container Platform 4.13 or later, you do not need to set the spec.ptpEventConfig.transportHost field in the PtpOperatorConfig resource when you use HTTP transport for PTP events. Set transportHost only when you use AMQP transport for PTP events. Update the PtpOperatorConfig CR: USD oc apply -f ptp-operatorconfig.yaml Create a PtpConfig custom resource (CR) for the PTP enabled interface, and set the required values for ptpClockThreshold and ptp4lOpts . The following YAML illustrates the required values that you must set in the PtpConfig CR: spec: profile: - name: "profile1" interface: "enp5s0f0" ptp4lOpts: "-2 -s --summary_interval -4" 1 phc2sysOpts: "-a -r -m -n 24 -N 8 -R 16" 2 ptp4lConf: "" 3 ptpClockThreshold: 4 holdOverTimeout: 5 maxOffsetThreshold: 100 minOffsetThreshold: -100 1 Append --summary_interval -4 to use PTP fast events. 2 Required phc2sysOpts values. -m prints messages to stdout . The linuxptp-daemon DaemonSet parses the logs and generates Prometheus metrics. 3 Specify a string that contains the configuration to replace the default /etc/ptp4l.conf file. To use the default configuration, leave the field empty. 4 Optional. If the ptpClockThreshold stanza is not present, default values are used for the ptpClockThreshold fields. The stanza shows default ptpClockThreshold values. The ptpClockThreshold values configure how long after the PTP master clock is disconnected before PTP events are triggered. holdOverTimeout is the time value in seconds before the PTP clock event state changes to FREERUN when the PTP master clock is disconnected. The maxOffsetThreshold and minOffsetThreshold settings configure offset values in nanoseconds that compare against the values for CLOCK_REALTIME ( phc2sys ) or master offset ( ptp4l ). When the ptp4l or phc2sys offset value is outside this range, the PTP clock state is set to FREERUN . When the offset value is within this range, the PTP clock state is set to LOCKED . Additional resources For a complete example CR that configures linuxptp services as an ordinary clock with PTP fast events, see Configuring linuxptp services as ordinary clock . 17.8.4. Migrating consumer applications to use HTTP transport for PTP or bare-metal events If you have previously deployed PTP or bare-metal events consumer applications, you need to update the applications to use HTTP message transport. Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You have updated the PTP Operator or Bare Metal Event Relay to version 4.13+ which uses HTTP transport by default. Procedure Update your events consumer application to use HTTP transport. Set the http-event-publishers variable for the cloud event sidecar deployment. For example, in a cluster with PTP events configured, the following YAML snippet illustrates a cloud event sidecar deployment: containers: - name: cloud-event-sidecar image: cloud-event-sidecar args: - "--metrics-addr=127.0.0.1:9091" - "--store-path=/store" - "--transport-host=consumer-events-subscription-service.cloud-events.svc.cluster.local:9043" - "--http-event-publishers=ptp-event-publisher-service-NODE_NAME.openshift-ptp.svc.cluster.local:9043" 1 - "--api-port=8089" 1 The PTP Operator automatically resolves NODE_NAME to the host that is generating the PTP events. For example, compute-1.example.com . In a cluster with bare-metal events configured, set the http-event-publishers field to hw-event-publisher-service.openshift-bare-metal-events.svc.cluster.local:9043 in the cloud event sidecar deployment CR. Deploy the consumer-events-subscription-service service alongside the events consumer application. For example: apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: annotations: prometheus.io/scrape: "true" service.alpha.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name: sidecar-consumer-secret name: consumer-events-subscription-service namespace: cloud-events labels: app: consumer-service spec: ports: - name: sub-port port: 9043 selector: app: consumer clusterIP: None sessionAffinity: None type: ClusterIP 17.8.5. Installing the AMQ messaging bus To pass PTP fast event notifications between publisher and subscriber on a node, you can install and configure an AMQ messaging bus to run locally on the node. To use AMQ messaging, you must install the AMQ Interconnect Operator. Note HTTP transport is the default transport for PTP and bare-metal events. Use HTTP transport instead of AMQP for PTP and bare-metal events where possible. AMQ Interconnect is EOL from 30 June 2024. Extended life cycle support (ELS) for AMQ Interconnect ends 29 November 2029. For more information see, Red Hat AMQ Interconnect support status . Prerequisites Install the OpenShift Container Platform CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Install the AMQ Interconnect Operator to its own amq-interconnect namespace. See Adding the Red Hat Integration - AMQ Interconnect Operator . Verification Check that the AMQ Interconnect Operator is available and the required pods are running: USD oc get pods -n amq-interconnect Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE amq-interconnect-645db76c76-k8ghs 1/1 Running 0 23h interconnect-operator-5cb5fc7cc-4v7qm 1/1 Running 0 23h Check that the required linuxptp-daemon PTP event producer pods are running in the openshift-ptp namespace. USD oc get pods -n openshift-ptp Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE linuxptp-daemon-2t78p 3/3 Running 0 12h linuxptp-daemon-k8n88 3/3 Running 0 12h 17.8.6. Subscribing DU applications to PTP events REST API reference Use the PTP event notifications REST API to subscribe a distributed unit (DU) application to the PTP events that are generated on the parent node. Subscribe applications to PTP events by using the resource address /cluster/node/<node_name>/ptp , where <node_name> is the cluster node running the DU application. Deploy your cloud-event-consumer DU application container and cloud-event-proxy sidecar container in a separate DU application pod. The cloud-event-consumer DU application subscribes to the cloud-event-proxy container in the application pod. Use the following API endpoints to subscribe the cloud-event-consumer DU application to PTP events posted by the cloud-event-proxy container at http://localhost:8089/api/ocloudNotifications/v1/ in the DU application pod: /api/ocloudNotifications/v1/subscriptions POST : Creates a new subscription GET : Retrieves a list of subscriptions DELETE : Deletes all subscriptions /api/ocloudNotifications/v1/subscriptions/<subscription_id> GET : Returns details for the specified subscription ID DELETE : Deletes the subscription associated with the specified subscription ID /api/ocloudNotifications/v1/health GET : Returns the health status of ocloudNotifications API api/ocloudNotifications/v1/publishers GET : Returns an array of os-clock-sync-state , ptp-clock-class-change , and lock-state messages for the cluster node /api/ocloudnotifications/v1/{resource_address}/CurrentState GET : Returns the current state of one the following event types: os-clock-sync-state , ptp-clock-class-change , or lock-state events Note 9089 is the default port for the cloud-event-consumer container deployed in the application pod.
