Live Migration of VM with SR-IOV VF =================================== Overview -------- It is not possible to migrate a Virtual Machine which has an SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF). To get around this problem the bonding PMD is used. The following sections show an example of how to do this. Test Setup ---------- A bonded device is created in the VM. The virtio and VF PMD's are added as slaves to the bonded device. The VF is set as the primary slave of the bonded device. A bridge must be set up on the Host connecting the tap device, which is the backend of the Virtio device and the Physical Function (PF) device. To test the Live Migration two servers with identical operating systems installed are used. KVM and Qemu 2.3 is also required on the servers. In this example, the servers have Niantic and or Fortville NIC's installed. The NIC's on both servers are connected to a switch which is also connected to the traffic generator. The switch is configured to broadcast traffic on all the NIC ports. A :ref:`Sample switch configuration ` can be found in this section. The host is running the Kernel PF driver (ixgbe or i40e). The ip address of host_server_1 is 10.237.212.46 The ip address of host_server_2 is 10.237.212.131 .. _figure_lm_bond_virtio_sriov: .. figure:: img/lm_bond_virtio_sriov.* Live Migration steps -------------------- The sample scripts mentioned in the steps below can be found in the :ref:`Sample host scripts ` and :ref:`Sample VM scripts ` sections.
