Build Status

SR-IOV CNI plugin

This repository contains the sriov CNI plugin that allows DPDK driver binding as well as the orginal featuers of sriov-cni. To learn about CNI please visit containernetworking/cni.

NIC with SR-IOV capabilities works by introducing the idea of physical functions (PFs) and virtual functions (VFs).

PF is used by host. Each VFs can be treated as a separate physical NIC and assigned to one container, and configured with separate MAC, VLAN and IP, etc.

Build

This plugin requires Go 1.5+ to build.

Go 1.5 users will need to set GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 to get vendored dependencies. This flag is set by default in 1.6.

# make

Upon successful build the plugin binary will be available in build/sriov.

Enable SR-IOV

Given Intel ixgbe NIC on CentOS, Fedora or RHEL:

# vi /etc/modprobe.conf
options ixgbe max_vfs=8,8

Configuration reference

Main parameters

  • name (string, required): the name of the network
  • type (string, required): "sriov"
  • master (string, required): name of the PF
  • if0name (string, optional): interface name in the Container
  • l2enable (boolean, optional): if true then add VF as L2 mode only, IPAM will not be executed
  • vlan (int, optional): VLAN ID to assign for the VF
  • ipam (dictionary, optional): IPAM configuration to be used for this network.
  • dpdk (dictionary, optional): DPDK configuration

Using DPDK drivers:

If this plugin is use to bind a VF to dpdk driver then the IPAM configtuations will be ignored.

DPDK parameters

If given, The DPDK configuration expected to have the following parameters

  • kernel_driver (string, required): kernel driver name
  • dpdk_driver (string, required): DPDK capable driver name
  • dpdk_tool (string, required): path to the dpdk-devbind.py script
