SR-IOV NIC Passthrough

When using this feature, add the following fields to the YAML file of the service application Pod.

  1. In annotations of the Pod, specify the network k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: sriov-net1. sriov-net1 is configured by the name field in the sriov-crd.yaml file.
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Pod
    metadata:
      name: testpod2
      annotations:
        k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks: sriov-net1
  2. Add the huawei.com/huawei_1822_netdevice: "1" field to resources of the Pod. This field, specified by the configMap.yaml configuration file of the SR-IOV device plugin, follows the format of resourcePrefix/resourceName: "1".
    resources:
        requests:
           huawei.com/huawei_1822_netdevice: "1"
           cpu: 1
        limits:
           huawei.com/huawei_1822_netdevice: "1"
           cpu: 2
  3. Deploy a container, access the container, and check whether the network interface is successfully generated.
    docker exec -it 8ba9054e6de1 /bin/sh

    If it is created, you can see the net1 network interface in the output after executing the following command.

    ip a
    As shown in the following information, the net1 network interface is displayed, and the IP address belongs to the SR-IOV network. In this case, the network interface is created successfully.
