Dear Openstack community,
I am trying to attach NVMe drives to my vms and would like to check the configuration I have because for some reason it is not working.
This is my physical host details:
[root@zeus-59 ~]# lspci -nn -D | grep -i ssd 0000:03:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Intel Corporation PCIe Data Center SSD [8086:0953] (rev 01) 0000:04:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Intel Corporation PCIe Data Center SSD [8086:0953] (rev 01) 0000:06:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Intel Corporation PCIe Data Center SSD [8086:0953] (rev 01) 0000:07:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Intel Corporation PCIe Data Center SSD [8086:0953] (rev 01) 0000:08:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Intel Corporation PCIe Data Center SSD [8086:0953] (rev 01) 0000:09:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Intel Corporation PCIe Data Center SSD [8086:0953] (rev 01) 0000:84:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Intel Corporation PCIe Data Center SSD [8086:0953] (rev 01) 0000:85:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Intel Corporation PCIe Data Center SSD [8086:0953] (rev 01) 0000:86:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Intel Corporation PCIe Data Center SSD [8086:0953] (rev 01) 0000:87:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Intel Corporation PCIe Data Center SSD [8086:0953] (rev 01)
My idea is to attach either 0000:03:00.0 or 0000:04:00.0 to a vm
This is how I identify the block devices for each pci device:
[root@zeus-59 ~]# ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:00.0/nvme total 0 drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 0 Apr 3 14:02 nvme0 [root@zeus-59 ~]# ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:04\:00.0/nvme total 0 drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 0 Apr 3 14:02 nvme1
I installed the OS on the physical machine leaving those 2 drives intact:
[root@zeus-59 ~]# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 59.6G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 1G 0 part /boot └─sda2 8:2 0 4G 0 part [SWAP] sr0 11:0 1 906M 0 rom nvme0n1 259:15 0 1.8T 0 disk nvme1n1 259:0 0 1.8T 0 disk nvme2n1 259:11 0 1.8T 0 disk └─nvme2n1p1 259:12 0 1.8T 0 part /var/lib/docker/btrfs nvme3n1 259:6 0 1.8T 0 disk └─nvme3n1p1 259:7 0 1.8T 0 part nvme4n1 259:13 0 1.8T 0 disk └─nvme4n1p1 259:14 0 1.8T 0 part nvme5n1 259:5 0 1.8T 0 disk └─nvme5n1p1 259:8 0 1.8T 0 part nvme6n1 259:17 0 1.8T 0 disk └─nvme6n1p1 259:18 0 1.8T 0 part nvme7n1 259:9 0 1.8T 0 disk └─nvme7n1p1 259:10 0 1.8T 0 part nvme8n1 259:3 0 1.8T 0 disk └─nvme8n1p1 259:4 0 1.8T 0 part nvme9n1 259:1 0 1.8T 0 disk └─nvme9n1p1 259:2 0 1.8T 0 part
The next thing is to configure Openstack
nova api config
[pci] alias = { "vendor_id":"8086", "product_id":"0953", "device_type":"type-PCI", "name":"nvme"}
nova scheduler config
[filter_scheduler] enabled_filters = RetryFilter, AvailabilityZoneFilter, ComputeFilter, ComputeCapabilitiesFilter, ImagePropertiesFilter, ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter, ServerGroupAffinityFilter, PciPassthroughFilter available_filters = nova.scheduler.filters.all_filters
nova compute config
[filter_scheduler] enabled_filters = RetryFilter, AvailabilityZoneFilter, ComputeFilter, ComputeCapabilitiesFilter, ImagePropertiesFilter, ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter, ServerGroupAffinityFilter, PciPassthroughFilter available_filters = nova.scheduler.filters.all_filters
[pci] passthrough_whitelist = [ {"address":"0000:03:00.0"}, {"address":"0000:04:00.0"} ] alias = { "vendor_id":"8086", "product_id":"0953", "device_type":"type-PCI", "name":"nvme"}
Then I create my flavor openstack flavor create nvme.small --ram 64000 --disk 10 --vcpus 7 --property "pci_passthrough:alias"="nvme:1"
I created the vm towards the host with the free nvme drives
[root@openstack-deployment ~]# openstack server create --flavor nvme.small --image centos7.5-image --nic net-id=hpc --security-group admin --key-name mykey --availability-zone nova:zeus-59.localdomain test_nvme_small
Vm creation fails and I can see this error in the nova compute logs

This error suggests you haven't enabled IOMMU. See the troubleshooting section of this page for more information: http://ask.xmodulo.com/pci-passthrough-virt-manager.html If this isn't called out in the docs, it should be. Stephen
Any idea or advice would be very helpful
