Background

Main purpose of this feature to place VNFCs in sites with SRIOV-NIC enabled compute nodes.

...

Those requirements can be satisfied, only if there are compute nodes with that kind of NIC hardware and only if ONAP can discover that from various cloud sites.

Overall design

1. Scenario

Let us say, a site has three kinds of compute nodes with respect to SRIOV-NIC

...

3rd set does not contain any SRIOV NIC cards.

1.1 Openstack Config SRIOV

Openstack configuration:

...

1. NIC configuration refer to https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/pike/admin/config-sriov.html

2. An example of a site having three types of compute nodes.

...

1st set of compute nodes have two SRIOV NIC cards with vendor/device id as 1234, 5678 and vendor/device id as 2345 &6789. 2nd set of compute nodes have two SRIOV-NIC of same type 4321 & 8765. And third set of compute nodes don't have any SRIOV-NIC cards. And hence Openstack administrator at the site creates three flavors to reflect the hardware the site has. As you see in this example, it is expected that

...

host aggregate format is followed.

...

The value supposed to be of the form "NIC-sriov-<vendor ID>-<device ID>-<Provider network>

1.2 Mutli-cloud discovery

When it reads the flavors information from openstack site, if the pci_passthrough alias start with NIC-sriov, then it assumes that it is SRIOV NIC type.

...

Hpa-attribute-key	Hpa-attribute-value
pciVendorId	2345
pciDeviceId	6789
pciCount	1
directive	[ {"attribute_name": "vnic-type", "attribute_value": "direct"}, {"attribute_name": "physical-network", "attribute_value": "physnet2"}, ]

1.3 SO call OOF

SO will get pciVendorId, pciDeviceId and interfaceType from CSAR file, then call to OOF. OOF will response homing information to SO, SO don't interpret it and pass through it to Multi-cloud.

...

parameters:
  oof_returned_vnic_type_for_firewall:
  type:string
  description:This parameter value is determined by OOF. If OOF selects the region and flavor that support SRIOV-NICs, then OOF returns 'direct'. If not, it returns 'normal'

resources:
  network_protected:
    type: OS::Neutron::Net
    properties:
      name: mynetwork_protected
      network_type: vlan
      physical_network: physnet1
      segmentation_id: 100
  network_unprotected:
    properties:
      name: mynetwork_unprotected
      network_type: vlan
      physical_network: physnet2
      segmentation_id: 200
/** Subnet details are not provided for brevity**/
  protected_interface:
     type: OS::Neutron::Port
     properties:
       name: protected_port
       network_id : { get_resource: network_protected }
       binding:vnic_type: {get_param: oof_returned_vnic_type_for_firewall}
  unprotected_interface:
     type: OS::Neutron::Port
     properties:
       name: unprotected_port
       network_id : { get_resource: network_unprotected }
       binding:vnic_type: {get_param: oof_returned_vnic_type_for_firewall}

  virtual_firewall_appliance:
     type: OS::Nova::Server
     image: ....
     networks:
        - port: {get_resource: protected_interface}
        - port: {get_resource: unprotected_interface}

1.4 VF-C call OOF

VF-C will get pciVendorId, pciDeviceId and interfaceType from CSAR file, then call to OOF. OOF will response homing information to VF-C.

VF-C get OOF response, It will create network of SRIOV-NIC using physical network.
Then, It will create port based on network using interface type.

1.5 OOF Response

OOF just check /cloud-infrastructure/cloud-regions/cloud-region/{cloud-owner}/{cloud-region-id}/flavors/flavor/{flavor-id}/hpa-capabilities

...

If interfaceType is SRIOV-NIC, then OOF returns 'vnic-type' as 'direct', If interfaceType is not SRIOV-NIC, OOF return 'vnic-type' as 'normal'.
