10.8.3. Connecting a virtual machine to an SR-IOV network by using the CLI

Procedure

1. Add the SR-IOV network details to the spec.domain.devices.interfaces and spec.networks stanzas of the VM configuration as in the following example:

   apiVersion: kubevirt.io/v1
   kind: VirtualMachine
   metadata:
     name: example-vm
   spec:
     domain:
       devices:
         interfaces:
         - name: nic1
           sriov: {}
     networks:
     - name: nic1
       multus:
           networkName: sriov-network
   # ...

   • spec.template.spec.domain.devices.interfaces.name specifies a unique name for the SR-IOV interface.
   • spec.template.spec.networks.name specifies the name of the SR-IOV interface. This must be the same as the interfaces.name that you defined earlier.
   • spec.template.spec.networks.multus.networkName specifies the name of the SR-IOV network attachment definition.

2. Apply the virtual machine configuration:

   $ oc apply -f <vm_sriov>.yaml

   where:

   <vm_sriov>

   Specifies the name of the virtual machine YAML file.
