Fuel Plugin for Virtual Accelerator description

6WIND Virtual Accelerator is available for 1, 2 and 4 socket Intel x86-based
servers and supports major Linux distributions.

- See more at: http://www.6wind.com/products/6wind-virtual-accelerator/

User Guide

As first step clone this repository.

This version of the Fuel Virtual Accelerator plugin is designed to embed the
6WIND software internally.
In particular the virtual accelerator packages have to be put in the
repositories/{distrib}/ folder and the 6WIND openstack-app-note archive in
puppet/modules/virtual_accelerator/files/.

When this step is done, the plugin can be correctly built with the following
command:
fpb --build fuel-plugin-6wind-virtual-accelerator

Copy the generated plugin rpm package to the Fuel master and install it as
usual:
fuel plugins --install {package}.rpm

When this step is finished proceed with fuel environment creation as
detailed here:

1. Create a new environment with the Fuel Web UI wizard.
2. Click on the Settings tab of the Fuel Web UI.
3. Scroll down the page, select the plugin checkbox and edit options
   (if desired).
4. Associate both 6WIND Virtual Accelerator and Compute roles with nodes
   you want to accelerate
5. Start deployment

At the end of this whole process the Virtual Accelerator should be correctly
installed and running on the selected node.

Support

This software is provided as-is without support from 6WIND. In order to get a proper support, you should contact 6WIND.

Testing

None.

Known issues

The current plugin implementation (version 1.0.0) embeds 6WIND software forcing end-user to perform the build phase. This is only a temporary solution since future releases will support proper download of these packages from a remote repository during deployment. You need to contact 6WIND to be able to access this repository.

Release Notes

1.0.0

  • Initial release of the plugin. This is a beta version.

Bugs Reporting

Bugs should be filled on the [Launchpad fuel-plugins project] (https://bugs.launchpad.net/fuel-plugins) with the tag virtual-accelerator.
