Ethernet Configuration with Mellanox SR-IOV Networking in OpenStack Kilo
OpenStack Juno added inbox support to request VM access to virtual network via SR-IOV NIC. With the introduction of SR-IOV based NICs, the traditional virtual bridge is no longer required. Each SR-IOV port is associated with a virtual function (VF). SR-IOV ports may be provided by Hardware-based Virtual Ethernet Bridging (HW VEB); or they may be extended to an upstream physical switch (IEEE 802.1br). There are two ways in which the SR-IOV port may be connected:
- Directly connected to its VF
- Connected with a macvtap device that resides on the host, which is then connected to the corresponding VF
Configuration
SDN Mechanism Driver
SDN Mechanism Driver allows NEO to configure dynamically VLANs on the Mellanox Switches. Further Reading
Ceilometer
The Mellanox Ceilometer SR-IOV module allows the OpenStack Ceilometer to collect measurements of SR-IOV counters.
More details about applying Mellanox Ceilometer module can be found here
