From cf5dfa77e17d273aaebca21a0b44902d587fac04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Gutter Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2017 21:52:26 +0200 Subject: Add support for virtio-forwarder VNIC type * This patch adds support for the virtio-forwarder VNIC type. * The virtio-forwarder VNIC type has been added as another option for setting the --vnic-type property on the "port set" and "port create" commands. This requests a low-latency virtio port inside the instance, likely backed by hardware acceleration. Currently the Agilio OVS external plugin provides support for this, with support from other vendors following soon. * Corresponding neutron-lib change: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/483530/ * Nova spec for Agilio OVS enablement: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/pike/approved/netronome-smartnic-enablement.html Change-Id: Idbc8071afe95f8594b40e2f93e5411e7185f946f Signed-off-by: Jan Gutter --- doc/source/cli/command-objects/port.rst | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/source/cli/command-objects') diff --git a/doc/source/cli/command-objects/port.rst b/doc/source/cli/command-objects/port.rst index 2102288b..37814a95 100644 --- a/doc/source/cli/command-objects/port.rst +++ b/doc/source/cli/command-objects/port.rst @@ -60,8 +60,8 @@ Create new port .. option:: --vnic-type - VNIC type for this port (direct | direct-physical | macvtap | normal | baremetal, - default: normal) + VNIC type for this port (direct | direct-physical | macvtap | normal | baremetal | + virtio-forwarder, default: normal) .. option:: --binding-profile @@ -262,8 +262,8 @@ Set port properties .. option:: --vnic-type - VNIC type for this port (direct | direct-physical | macvtap | normal | baremetal, - default: normal) + VNIC type for this port (direct | direct-physical | macvtap | normal | baremetal | + virtio-forwarder, default: normal) .. option:: --binding-profile -- cgit v1.2.1
