# A Heat environment that can be used to deploy DPDK with OVS # Deploying DPDK requires enabling hugepages for the overcloud nodes resource_registry: OS::TripleO::Services::ComputeNeutronOvsAgent: ../puppet/services/neutron-ovs-dpdk-agent.yaml parameter_defaults: NeutronDatapathType: "netdev" NeutronVhostuserSocketDir: "/var/lib/vhost_sockets" NovaSchedulerDefaultFilters: "RamFilter,ComputeFilter,AvailabilityZoneFilter,ComputeCapabilitiesFilter,ImagePropertiesFilter,NUMATopologyFilter" ## Deploying DPDK requires enabling hugepages for the overcloud compute nodes. ## It also requires enabling IOMMU when using the VFIO (vfio-pci) OvsDpdkDriverType. ## This can be done using ComputeKernelArgs as shown below. #ComputeParameters: #ComputeKernelArgs: "intel_iommu=on default_hugepagesz=2MB hugepagesz=2MB hugepages=2048" ## Attempting to deploy DPDK without appropriate values for the below parameters may lead to unstable deployments ## due to CPU contention of DPDK PMD threads. ## It is highly recommended to to enable isolcpus (via ComputeKernelArgs) on compute overcloud nodes and set the following parameters: #OvsDpdkSocketMemory: "" # Sets the amount of hugepage memory to assign per NUMA node. # It is recommended to use the socket closest to the PCIe slot used for the # desired DPDK NIC. Format should be comma separated per socket string such as: # ",", for example: "1024,0". #OvsDpdkDriverType: "vfio-pci" # Ensure the Overcloud NIC to be used for DPDK supports this UIO/PMD driver. #OvsPmdCoreList: "" # List or range of CPU cores for PMD threads to be pinned to. Note, NIC # location to cores on socket, number of hyper-threaded logical cores, and # desired number of PMD threads can all play a role in configuring this setting. # These cores should be on the same socket where OvsDpdkSocketMemory is assigned. # If using hyperthreading then specify both logical cores that would equal the # physical core. Also, specifying more than one core will trigger multiple PMD # threads to be spawned, which may improve dataplane performance. #NovaVcpuPinSet: "" # Cores to pin Nova instances to. For maximum performance, select cores # on the same NUMA node(s) selected for previous settings.
