The nova Hyper-V driver now supports adding PCI passthrough devices to
|
|
Hyper-V instances (discrete device assignment). This feature has been
|
|
introduced in Windows / Hyper-V Server 2016 and offers the possibility to
|
|
attach some of the host's PCI devices (e.g.: GPU devices) directly to
|
|
Hyper-V instances.
|
|
In order to benefit from this feature, Hyper-V compute nodes must support
|
|
SR-IOV and must have assignable PCI devices. This can easily be checked by
|
|
running the following powershell commands::
|
|
|
|
Start-BitsTransfer https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/Virtualization-Documentation/master/hyperv-samples/benarm-powershell/DDA/survey-dda.ps1
|
|
.\survey-dda.ps1
|
|
|
|
The script above will print a list of assignable PCI devices available on
|
|
the host, and if the host supports SR-IOV.
|
|
|
|
If the host supports this feature and it has at least an assignable PCI
|
|
device, the host must be configured to allow those PCI devices to be
|
|
assigned to VMs. For information on how to do this, follow this guide [1].
|
|
|
|
After the compute nodes have been configured, the nova-api, nova-scheduler,
|
|
and the nova-compute services will have to be configured next [2].
