SRIOV Port Sharing

With SR-IOV port sharing, you can:

• Create an SR-IOV interface on a VF capable port.

• Create VF type sub-interfaces using the SR-IOV interface, and attach these sub-interfaces to data networks..

• Create VLAN type interfaces using the SR-IOV interface, and attach them to OAM, internal management and cluster-host platform networks respectively.

• Create ethernet type of sub-interfaces using an SR-IOV interface, and attach this interface to pxeboot network, which has to be untagged network.

By doing so, all of the network planes can be carried by only one VF-capable physical port according to following resource allocation:

• Platform type networks: PF

  • pxeboot

  • oam

  • cluster-host

  • mgmt

• Data type networks: VFs

  • pci-sriov class, vf type

• Configuring Ethernet Interfaces on SR-IOV interface Using from Horizon

• Configuring Ethernet Interfaces on SR-IOV interface Using the CLI
