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 that 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
 
 
===Prerequisites===
 
* '''Clean Red Hat 7.2'''
 
* All nodes equipped with Mellanox ConnectX®-3/Pro/4 Network Adapter [http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=119]
 
* FW for Connect®-4 12.14.0050 and newer.
 
* Mellanox OFED 3.2-0.0.4.0 or greater installed on all nodes. Please refer to Mellanox website for the latest OFED: [http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26&mtag=linux_sw_drivers]
 
* SR-IOV enabled on all compute nodes. For more information, please refer to Mellanox Community click [https://community.mellanox.com/docs/DOC-1317].

To install and configure packstack
 
 
1. Install packstack
 
yum install -y openstack-packstack
 
 
2. Modify answer file
 
packstack --provision-demo=n --nagios-install=n --os-swift-install=n --os-ceilometer-install=n --os-neutron-ml2-type-drivers=flat,vlan --os-neutron-ml2-tenant-network-types=vlan --os-neutron-ml2-mechanism-drivers=openvswitch,sriovnicswitch --os-neutron-ml2-vlan-ranges=default:2:10 --use-epel=y --os-compute-hosts=192.168.100.10,192.168.100.11 --keystone-admin-passwd=admin --keystone-demo-passwd=demo --novacompute-privif=enp7s0f0 --novanetwork-pubif=eth0 --novanetwork-privif=enp7s0f0 --os-neutron-ovs-bridge-mappings=default:br-enp7s0f0,extnet:br-ex --os-neutron-ovs-bridge-interfaces=br-enp7s0f0:enp7s0f0 '--nova-pci-passthrough-whitelist=[{"address":"*:07:00.*","physical_network":"default"}]' --os-neutron-ml2-sriov-agent-required=y --os-neutron-ml2-sriov-interface-mappings=default:enp7s0f0 --gen-answer-file=answerfile.cfg
 
 
** --nova-pci-passthrough-whitelist = replace 07:00 with your mellanox bus id (lspci | grep Mellanox)
 
** enp7s0f0 = replace with active mellanox interface (ibdev2netdev)
 
 
3. Run packstack
 
# packstack --answer-file=answerfile.cfg

Configuration

[SR-IOV]

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
