Thanks Emilien and Giulio for your valuable feedback. I will start
working towards finalizing the workbook and the actions required.
Saravanan,
If you can add me to the review for your workbook, I'd appreciate it.
I'm trying to solve a similar problem, of computing THT params for HCI
deployments in order to isolate resources between CephOSDs and
NovaComputes, and I was also looking to use a Mistral workflow. I'll add
you to the review of any related work, if you don't mind. Your proposal
to get NUMA info into Ironic [1] helps me there too. Hope to see you at
the PTG.
Thanks,
John

would you be able to join the PTG to help us with the session on the
overcloud settings optimization?
I will come back on this, as I have not planned for it yet. If it
works out, I will update the etherpad.
Regards,
Saravanan KR

Hello,
The aim of this mail is to ease the DPDK deployment with TripleO. I
would like to see if the approach of deriving THT parameter based on
introspection data, with a high level input would be feasible.
Let me brief on the complexity of certain parameters, which are
related to DPDK. Following parameters should be configured for a good
performing DPDK cluster:
* NeutronDpdkCoreList (puppet-vswitch)
* ComputeHostCpusList (PreNetworkConfig [4], puppet-vswitch) (under
review)
* NovaVcpuPinset (puppet-nova)
* NeutronDpdkSocketMemory (puppet-vswitch)
* NeutronDpdkMemoryChannels (puppet-vswitch)
* ComputeKernelArgs (PreNetworkConfig [4]) (under review)
* Interface to bind DPDK driver (network config templates)
The complexity of deciding some of these parameters is explained in
the blog [1], where the CPUs has to be chosen in accordance with the
NUMA node associated with the interface. We are working a spec [2], to
collect the required details from the baremetal via the introspection.
The proposal is to create mistral workbook and actions
(tripleo-common), which will take minimal inputs and decide the actual
value of parameters based on the introspection data. I have created
simple workbook [3] with what I have in mind (not final, only
wireframe). The expected output of this workflow is to return the list
of inputs for "parameter_defaults", which will be used for the
deployment. I would like to hear from the experts, if there is any
drawbacks with this approach or any other better approach.
hi, I am not an expert, I think John (on CC) knows more but this looks like
a good initial step to me.
once we have the workbook in good shape, we could probably integrate it in
the tripleo client/common to (optionally) trigger it before every deployment
