NVIDIA BlueField DPU BSP v4.7.0

System Configuration and Services

This page provides information on system services and scripts based on the default DPU OS (i.e., Ubuntu).

During the first boot, the cloud-init service configures the system based on the data provided in the following files:

  • /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/network-config – network interface configuration

  • /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/user-data – default users and commands to run on the first boot

RDMA and NVIDIA® ConnectX® drivers are loaded upon boot by the openibd.service.

Note

The mlx5_core kernel module is loaded automatically by the kernel as a registered device driver.

One of the kernel modules loaded by the openibd.service, ib_umad, triggers modprobe rule from /etc/modprobe.d/mlnx-bf.conf file that runs the /sbin/mlnx_bf_configure script. See Default Ports and OVS Configuration for more information.

The BFB image includes the following firewall configuration (enabled by default):

This configuration is provided by the bf-release package and is installed during the first boot of the Ubuntu OS after the BFB installation using the cloud-init service and the /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/user-data configuration file.

To disable this default firewall configuration after OS is UP, run:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ rm -f /etc/iptables/rules.v4 $ iptables -F

To disable this default firewall configuration during the BFB installation, use bf.cfg with the following command in the bfb_modify_os function:

bfb_modify_os() {   perl -ni -e "if(/^write_files:/../^users/) {next unless m{^users}; print} else {print}" /mnt/var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/user-data }
