[Mooney, Sean K] looking at the networking-ovn ml2 dirver vnic type direct is
not supported
https://github.com/openstack/networking-ovn/blob/f5fe5e3c623a2a65ee78ec28b053d8e72060c13d/networking_ovn/ml2/mech_driver.py#L112
the hardware offload support for melonox nics is only supported with the
openvswitch or odl ml2 dirvers
netronome smartnics require the use of the agilio ovs ml2 dirver which supports
dirct and virtio forwarder mode
https://github.com/Netronome/agilio-ovs-openstack-plugin/blob/master/networking_netronome/plugins/ml2/drivers/agilio_ovs/mech_driver/mech_agilio_ovs.py#L46-L47
if you wish to use ovn you will need to modify the ovn ml2 dirver to add
vnic_type direct to the supported vnictypes.

[Mooney, Sean K] no but as I mentioned above ovn is not currently supported.
I belive you should have a log message in the neutron server log also as when
neutron calls
The the networking-ovn ml2 driver here
https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/433d5a03534c4f30fdf3b864d11dea527e9b6f91/neutron/plugins/ml2/managers.py#L782
we simply retrun on line 502 here after logging.
https://github.com/openstack/networking-ovn/blob/f5fe5e3c623a2a65ee78ec28b053d8e72060c13d/networking_ovn/ml2/mech_driver.py#L502
if you only have the ovn ml2 driver enabled you should set the prot with
vif_type_binding_failed howver if you have
the sriovnicagent also enable it may be masking the isses as
https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/433d5a03534c4f30fdf3b864d11dea527e9b6f91/neutron/plugins/ml2/managers.py#L776
will continue to try the other dirvers.
Assuming ovn in the only enabled mech driver i belive this should result in the
vif_type being set to VIF_TYPE_BINDING_FAILED as
https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/433d5a03534c4f30fdf3b864d11dea527e9b6f91/neutron/plugins/ml2/managers.py#L748
will not return anyting so we should execute
https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/433d5a03534c4f30fdf3b864d11dea527e9b6f91/neutron/plugins/ml2/managers.py#L750-L757
you should be able to configm this by doing a port show and/or checking the
neutron server log.
>
> Also, how can I check the logs that are related to the os-vif library?
[Mooney, Sean K] the logs are present in the n-cpu log as os-vif executes with
the nova compute agent.
