Enable DPDK for Tungsten Fabric

Deprecated since MOSK 25.1

This section describes how to enable DPDK mode for the Tungsten Fabric (TF) vRouter.

To enable DPDK for TF, follow one of the procedures below depending on the API version used:

  1. Install the vfio-pci (recommended) or uio_pci_generic driver on the host operating system. For more information about drivers, see Linux Drivers.

    An example of the DPDK_UIO_DRIVER configuration:

    spec:
  services:
    vRouter:
      agentDPDK:
        enabled: true
        envSettings:
          dpdk:
            - name: DPDK_UIO_DRIVER
              value: vfio-pci

  2. Open the TF Operator custom resource for editing:

    kubectl -n tf edit tfoperators.tf.mirantis.com openstack-tf

  3. Enable DPDK:

    spec:
  services:
    vRouter:
      agentDPDK:
        enabled: true
