</head><body><p>Hello,</p><p>I am adding some new hosts to my MOS 9.2 fuel deployment, and I want to implement dpdk on the 2 new hosts. I have fuel setup with the experimental options so I can see the settings when adding the new hosts.</p><p>My question is relating to the node attributes section. In the documents for showing how to setup dpdk, it states to setup nova cpu pinning along with the dpdk cpu pinning.</p><p>I get that the dpdk cpu pinning is the number of cpus allocated for processing of the packets based on nic speed.</p><p>I don't see any information on exactly what the value of nova cpu pinning should be when doing only dpdk (no sriov). When a vm is mapped to a flavor using dpdk, do all the vcpus the VM uses have to 'pinned' to use dpdk, thus this value means the total number of vcpus available to VMs needing dpdk?</p><p>I just want to make sure I understand these values when setting this up, so I do it correctly.</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>DG</p></body></html>
