Chapter 2. Hardware requirements

This section describes the hardware requirements for NFV.

You can use Red Hat Technologies Ecosystem to check for a list of certified hardware, software, cloud providers, and components.

For a complete list of the certified hardware for Red Hat OpenStack Platform, see Red Hat OpenStack Platform certified hardware.

2.1. Tested NICs

For a list of tested NICs for NFV, see Network Adapter Support.

If you configure OVS-DPDK on Mellanox ConnectX-4 or ConnectX-5 network interfaces, you must set the corresponding kernel driver in the compute-ovs-dpdk.yaml file:

members
 - type: ovs_dpdk_port
    name: dpdk0
    driver: mlx5_core
    members:
    - type: interface
      name: enp3s0f0

members
 - type: ovs_dpdk_port
    name: dpdk0
    driver: mlx5_core
    members:
    - type: interface
      name: enp3s0f0

2.2. Discovering your NUMA node topology
复制链接

When you plan your deployment, you must understand the NUMA topology of your Compute node to partition the CPU and memory resources for optimum performance. To determine the NUMA information, perform one of the following tasks:

Enable hardware introspection to retrieve this information from bare-metal nodes.
Log on to each bare-metal node to manually collect the information.

Note

You must install and configure the undercloud before you can retrieve NUMA information through hardware introspection. For more information about undercloud configuration, see Director Installation and Usage Guide.

Retrieving hardware introspection details

The bare metal service hardware inspection extras is enabled by default to retrieve hardware details. You can use these hardware details to configure your overcloud. For more information on the inspection_extras parameter in the undercloud.conf file, see Configuring the Director.

For example, the numa_topology collector is part of these hardware inspection extras and includes the following information for each NUMA node:

RAM (in kilobytes)
Physical CPU cores and their sibling threads
NICs associated with the NUMA node

Procedure

To retrieve the information listed above, substitute <UUID> with the UUID of the bare-metal node to complete the following command:

openstack baremetal introspection data save <UUID> | jq .numa_topology

$ openstack baremetal introspection data save <UUID> | jq .numa_topology

The following example shows the retrieved NUMA information for a bare-metal node:
