========================================================
Configure Nova's Dedicated and Shared CPU Pools on Hosts
========================================================
|prod| supports configuring Nova's dedicated and shared CPU pools on a per
openstack-compute host basis.
This provides support for users to customize their VM's CPU pinning policies to
either dedicated or shared, with the dedicated policy providing improved near-real-time
performance. For more details, see: `https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/cpu-topologies.html <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/cpu-topologies.html>`_.
For an openstack-compute host:
- host CPUs configured as **application** function will be mapped to Nova's Shared CPU pool,
and
- host CPUs configured as **application-isolated** function will be mapped to Nova's Dedicated CPU pool.
The above mapping is done automatically, via system-generated Nova Helm Chart overrides,
when the openstack application is applied.
The following restrictions apply when configuring host CPU functions:
- There must be at least one platform and at least one application or
application-isolated core on each openstack-compute host.
For example:
.. code-block:: none
~(keystone)admin)$ system host-lock worker-1
~(keystone)admin)$ system host-cpu-modify -f platform -p0 1 worker-1
~(keystone)admin)$ system host-cpu-modify -f application-isolated -p0 15 worker-1
~(keystone)admin)$ system host-cpu-modify -f application-isolated -p1 15 worker-1
~(keystone)admin)$ system host-unlock worker-1
~(keystone)admin)$ system application-apply stx-openstack
To configure a flavor to use the dedicated CPU policy, run:
.. code-block:: none
~(keystone)$ openstack flavor set [FLAVOR_ID] --property hw:cpu_policy=dedicated
It is also possible to configure the CPU policy via image metadata:
.. code-block:: none
~(keystone)$ openstack image set [IMAGE_ID] --property hw_cpu_policy=dedicated
.. only:: partner
.. include:: /_includes/isolating-cpu-cores-to-enhance-application-performance.rest
