Known issues

Issue 1
  • Description: For custom (OEM) adapter cards based on Mellanox ConnectX-3 / ConnectX-3 Pro ICs, adapter firmware must be manually burnt prior to the installation with SR-IOV support
  • Workaround: See the firmware installation instructions.
Issue 2
  • Description: The number of SR-IOV virtual functions supported by Mellanox adapters is up to 16 on ConnectX-3 adapters and up to 62 on ConnectX-3 Pro adapters (depends on your HW capabilities).
  • Workaround: NA
Issue 3
  • Description: When using a dual port physical NIC for SR-IOV over Ethernet, the Openstack private network has to be allocated on the first port.
  • Workaround: NA
Issue 4
  • Description: A single port HCA might not be supported for SRIOV and iSER over Ethernet network.
  • Workaround: NA
Issue 5
  • Description: SR-IOV QoS is supported only with updating SR-IOV existing ports with a policy. QoS-policy detach might result in non accurate bandwidth limit. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1504165).
  • Workaround: Delete port / instance and attach a new port.
Issue 6
  • Description: Starting large amount (>15) of IB VMs with normal port at once may result in some VMs not getting DHCP over InfiniBand networks.
  • Workaround: Reboot VMs that didn't get IP from DHCP on time or start VMs in smaller chunks (<10).
Issue 7
  • Description: After large InfinBand deployment of more than ~20 nodes at once with Controllers HA, it might take time for controllers services to stabilize.
  • Workaround: Restart openibd service on controller nodes after the deployment, or deploy with phases.
Issue 8
  • Description: Network verification for IB network is not supported over untagged networks or after deployment.
  • Workaround: NA
