ONAP SR-IOV NIC design [DRAFT]

Overall design

1. SR-IOV NIC related Capability in Data model

This is refer to Supported HPA Capability Requirements(DRAFT)#LogicalNodei/ORequirements

Logical Node i/O Requirements

Network Interface Requirements

2. Openstack Config SRIOV

Openstack configuration:

1. NIC configuration  refer to https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/pike/admin/config-sriov.html
2. Create availability zone and host aggregate.
    $ nova aggregate-create sriov-direct
    $ nova aggregate-set-metadata sriov-direct sriov-nic=true 
    $ openstack flavor create m1.tiny --id auto --ram 512 --disk 20 --vcpus 2
    $ openstack flavor set m1.tiny --property pci_passthrough:alias=intel-15B3-1003:2
    $ openstack flavor set m1.tiny --property aggregate_instance_extra_specs:sriov-nic=true
   
   

After Openstack configs SR-IOV NIC, we will have a provider network.

1. Create network and subnet:

$ openstack network create --provider-network-type vlan --provider-physical-network physnet --provider-segmentation_id 101 provider_net 

$ openstack subnet create --network provider_net --subnet-range 192.168.100.0/24 subnet

2. Get the id of the neutron network where you want the SR-IOV port to be created: 

$ net_id=`neutron net-show provider_net  | grep "\ id\ " | awk '{ print $4 }'`

3. Create the SR-IOV port. We specify vnic_type=direct, but other options include normal, direct-physical, and macvtap:

$ port_id=`neutron port-create $net_id --name sriov_port --binding:vnic_type direct | grep "\ id\ " | awk '{ print $4 }'`

4. Create the VM. For the nic we specify the SR-IOV port created in step 2:

$ nova boot --flavor m1.tiny --image ubuntu_14.04 --nic port-id=$port_id test-sriov

Note: VF-C will execute four steps call four times to multi-cloud. SO will execute four steps just call one times to multi-cloud. 

3. AAI Presentation

PUT /cloud-infrastructure/cloud-regions/cloud-region/{cloud-owner}/{cloud-region-id}/hpa-capabilities/hpa-capability/{hpa-capability-id}

hpa-capability-id="q236fd3d-0b15-11w4-81b2-6210efc6dff9",

hpa-feature=”pciePassthrough”,

architecture=”{hw_arch}",

version=”v1”,

4. ONAP Module Modify 

[A] PUT /cloud-infrastructure/cloud-regions/cloud-region/{cloud-owner}/{cloud-region-id}/hpa-capabilities/hpa-capability/{hpa-capability-id}

4.1 VF-C Modification

1. When it create network, VF-C will get provider network including interface type, physical_network and vnic type from OOF pass it Multi-cloud.
2. When we create port , we need pass vnic type to multi-cloud. so we don't modify it. 

4.2 Multi-cloud Modification

      https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/network/v2/

1. Multi-cloud need to get provider network information and modify all provider network information for the request of submitting to VIM.
2. Multi-cloud don't modify VF-C request, just pass to VIMs, so we don't modify it.

4.3 SO Modification

Please Marcus Williams helps to update it.

4.4 OOF Modification

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

Now, we need OOF also check and match /cloud-infrastructure/cloud-regions/cloud-region/{cloud-owner}/{cloud-region-id}/hpa-capabilities/hpa-capability/{hpa-capability-id}

Seond,  we need to add some attributes in the response returning to SO and VF-C like below.

   "transactionId":"xxx-xxx-xxxx",
   "requestId":"yyy-yyy-yyyy",
   "requestStatus":"completed",
   "statusMessage":"",
   "solutions":{  
      "placementSolutions":[  
         [  {  "resourceModuleName":"vG",
               "serviceResourceId":"<copy from Req.>",
               "solution":{  
                  "identifierType":"cloudRegionId",

                  "identifiers":[  "DLLSTX1A“ ]   },
               "assignmentInfo":[  
                  {  "key":"locationId",
                     "value":"DLLSTX1A“    },
                  {  "key":"locationType",
                     "value":"openstack-cloud“   },
                  {  "key":"vimId",
                     "value":"rackspace_DLLSTX1A"  },
                  {  "key":"flavors",

                     "value":{ 

                        "flavorLabel1xxx":"vimFlavorxxx",

                        "flavorLabel2xxx":"vimFlavorxxx" }}

                  { "key": "SRIOV-NIC"

                    "value":{

                        "interfaceType": "SR-IOV",

                        "providerPhyNetwork": "physnet",

                        "vnicType": "direct",

                      }
               ] } ] ],
                  }
