Network Operator

Warning

The Network Operator Release Notes chapter is available here.

NVIDIA Network Operator leverages Kubernetes CRDs and Operator SDK to manage networking related components, in order to enable fast networking, RDMA and GPUDirect for workloads in a Kubernetes cluster. The Network Operator works in conjunction with the GPU-Operator to enable GPU-Direct RDMA on compatible systems.

The goal of the Network Operator is to manage the networking related components, while enabling execution of RDMA and GPUDirect RDMA workloads in a Kubernetes cluster. This includes:

  • NVIDIA Networking drivers to enable advanced features

  • Kubernetes device plugins to provide hardware resources required for a fast network

  • Kubernetes secondary network components for network intensive workloads

Network Operator Deployment on Vanilla Kubernetes Cluster

The default installation via Helm as described below will deploy the Network Operator and related CRDs, after which an additional step is required to create a NicClusterPolicy custom resource with the configuration that is desired for the cluster. Please refer to the NicClusterPolicy CRD Section for more information on manual Custom Resource creation.

The provided Helm chart contains various parameters to facilitate the creation of a NicClusterPolicy custom resource upon deployment.

Warning

Each Operator Release has a set of default version values for the various components it deploys. It is recommended that these values will not be changed. Testing and validation were performed with these values, and there is no guarantee of interoperability nor correctness when different versions are used.

Network pool configuration as described in https://github.com/Mellanox/nvidia-k8s-ipam

Since several parameters should be provided when creating custom resources during operator deployment, it is recommended to use a configuration file. While it is possible to override the parameters via CLI, we recommend to avoid the use of CLI arguments in favor of a configuration file.

Deployment with Pod Security Policy

Warning

This section applies to Kubernetes v1.24 or earlier versions only.

A Pod Security Policy is a cluster-level resource that controls security sensitive aspects of the pod specification. The PodSecurityPolicy objects define a set of conditions that a pod must run with in order to be accepted into the system, as well as defaults for the related fields.

By default, the NVIDIA Network Operator does not deploy pod Security Policy. To do that, override the PSP chart parameter:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ helm install -n nvidia-network-operator --create-namespace --wait network-operator nvidia/network-operator --set psp.enabled=true

To enforce Pod Security Policies, PodSecurityPolicy admission controller must be enabled. For instructions, refer to this article in Kubernetes Documentation.

The NVIDIA Network Operator deploys a privileged Pod Security Policy, which provides the operator’s pods the following permissions:

Copy
Copied!
            

privileged: true hostIPC: false hostNetwork: true hostPID: false allowPrivilegeEscalation: true readOnlyRootFilesystem: false allowedHostPaths: [] allowedCapabilities: - '*' fsGroup: rule: RunAsAny runAsUser: rule: RunAsAny seLinux: rule: RunAsAny supplementalGroups: rule: RunAsAny volumes: - configMap - hostPath - secret - downwardAPI

Warning

PodSecurityPolicy is deprecated as of Kubernetes v1.21 and will be removed in v1.25.


Network Operator Deployment with Pod Security Admission

The Pod Security admission controller replaces PodSecurityPolicy, enforcing predefined Pod Security Standards by adding a label to a namespace.

There are three levels defined by the Pod Security Standards : privileged , baseline , and restricted .

Warning

In case you wish to enforce a PSA to the Network Operator namespace, the privileged level is required. Enforcing baseline or restricted levels will prevent the creation of required Network Operator pods.

If required, enforce PSA privileged level on the Network Operator namespace by running:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl label --overwrite ns nvidia-network-operator pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce=privileged

In case that baseline or restricted levels are being enforced on the Network Operator namespace, events for pods creation failures will be triggered:

Copy

Network Operator Deployment in Proxy Environment

This section describes how to successfully deploy the Network Operator in clusters behind an HTTP Proxy. By default, the Network Operator requires internet access for the following reasons:

  • Container images must be pulled during the GPU Operator installation.

  • The driver container must download several OS packages prior to the driver installation.

To address these requirements, all Kubernetes nodes, as well as the driver container, must be properly configured in order to direct traffic through the proxy.

This section demonstrates how to configure the GPU Operator, so that the driver container could successfully download packages behind an HTTP proxy. Since configuring Kubernetes/container runtime components for proxy use is not specific to the Network Operator, those instructions are not detailed here.

Warning

If you are not running Openshift, please skip the section titled HTTP Proxy Configuration for Openshift, as Opneshift configuration instructions are different.

Prerequisites

Kubernetes cluster is configured with HTTP proxy settings (container runtime should be enabled with HTTP proxy).

HTTP Proxy Configuration for Openshift

For Openshift, it is recommended to use the cluster-wide Proxy object to provide proxy information for the cluster. Please follow the procedure described in Configuring the Cluster-wide Proxy via the Red Hat Openshift public documentation. The GPU Operator will automatically inject proxy related ENV into the driver container, based on the information present in the cluster-wide Proxy object.

HTTP Proxy Configuration

Specify the ofedDriver.env in your values.yaml file with appropriate HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY environment variables (in both uppercase and lowercase).

Copy
Copied!
            

ofedDriver:    env:    - name: HTTPS_PROXY      value: http://<example.proxy.com:port>    - name: HTTP_PROXY      value: http://<example.proxy.com:port>    - name: NO_PROXY      value: <example.com>    - name: https_proxy      value: http://<example.proxy.com:port>    - name: http_proxy      value: http://<example.proxy.com:port>    - name: no_proxy      value: <example.com>

Network Operator Deployment in Air-gapped Environment

This section describes how to successfully deploy the Network Operator in clusters with restricted internet access. By default, the Network Operator requires internet access for the following reasons:

  • The container images must be pulled during the Network Operator installation.

  • The OFED driver container must download several OS packages prior to the driver installation.

To address these requirements, it may be necessary to create a local image registry and/or a local package repository, so that the necessary images and packages will be available for your cluster. Subsequent sections of this document detail how to configure the Network Operator to use local image registries and local package repositories. If your cluster is behind a proxy, follow the steps listed in Network Operator Deployment in Proxy Environments.

Local Image Registry

Without internet access, the Network Operator requires all images to be hosted in a local image registry that is accessible to all nodes in the cluster. To allow Network Operator to work with a local registry, users can specify local repository, image, tag along with pull secrets in the values.yaml file.

Pulling and Pushing Container Images to a Local Registry

To pull the correct images from the NVIDIA registry, you can leverage the fields repository, image and version specified in the values.yaml file.

Local Package Repository

The OFED driver container deployed as part of the Network Operator requires certain packages to be available as part of the driver installation. In restricted internet access or air-gapped installations, users are required to create a local mirror repository for their OS distribution, and make the following packages available:

Copy
Copied!
            

ubuntu: linux-headers-${KERNEL_VERSION} linux-modules-${KERNEL_VERSION}   rhcos: kernel-headers-${KERNEL_VERSION} kernel-devel-${KERNEL_VERSION} kernel-core-${KERNEL_VERSION} createrepo elfutils-libelf-devel kernel-rpm-macros numactl-libs

For Ubuntu, these packages can be found at archive.ubuntu.com, and be used as the mirror that must be replicated locally for your cluster. By using apt-mirror or apt-get download, you can create a full or a partial mirror to your repository server.

For RHCOS, dnf reposync can be used to create the local mirror. This requires an active Red Hat subscription for the supported OpenShift version. For example:

Copy
Copied!
            

dnf --releasever=8.4 reposync --repo rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms --download-metadata

Once all the above required packages are mirrored to the local repository, repo lists must be created following distribution specific documentation. A ConfigMap containing the repo list file should be created in the namespace where the GPU Operator is deployed.

Following is an example of a repo list for Ubuntu 20.04 (access to a local package repository via HTTP):

custom-repo.list:

Copy
Copied!
            

deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] http://<local pkg repository>/ubuntu/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal main universe deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] http://<local pkg repository>/ubuntu/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates main universe deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] http://<local pkg repository>/ubuntu/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main universe

Create the ConfigMap for RHCOS:

Copy
Copied!
            

kubectl create configmap repo-config -n <Network Operator Namespace> --from-file=cuda.repo --from-file=redhat.r epo --from-file=ubi.repo

Once the ConfigMap is created using the above command, update the values.yaml file with this information to let the Network Operator mount the repo configuration within the driver container and pull the required packages. Based on the OS distribution, the Network Operator will automatically mount this ConfigMap into the appropriate directory.

Copy
Copied!
            

ofedDriver: deploy: true repoConfg: name: repo-config

If self-signed certificates are used for an HTTPS based internal repository, a ConfigMap must be created for those certifications and provided during the Network Operator installation. Based on the OS distribution, the Network Operator will automatically mount this ConfigMap into the appropriate directory.

Copy

Network Operator Deployment on an OpenShift Container Platform

Cluster-wide Entitlement

Introduction

The NVIDIA Network Operator deploys MOFED pods used to deploy NVIDIA Network Adapter drivers in the OpenShift Container Platform. These Pods require packages that are not available by default in the Universal Base Image (UBI) that the OpenShift Container Platform uses. To make packages available to the MOFED driver container, enable the cluster-wide entitled container builds in OpenShift.

To enable a cluster-wide entitlement, perform the following three steps:

  1. Download the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform subscription certificates from the Red Hat Customer Portal (access requires login credentials).

  2. Create a MachineConfig that enables the subscription manager and provides a valid subscription certificate. Wait for the MachineConfigOperator to reboot the node and finish applying the MachineConfig.

  3. Validate that the cluster-wide entitlement is working properly.

These instructions assume you have downloaded an entitlement encoded in base64 from the Red Hat Customer Portal, or extracted it from an existing node.

Creating entitled containers requires that assigning machine configuration that has a valid Red Hat entitlement certificate to your worker nodes. This step is necessary, since the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) CoreOS nodes are not automatically entitled yer.

Obtaining an Entitlement Certificate

Follow the guidance below to obtain the entitlement certificate.

  1. Navigate to the Red Hat Customer Portal systems management page, and click New.

    cluster_entitlement_19.png

  2. Select Hypervisor , and populate the Name field with the OpenShift-Entitlement text.

    entitlement_hypervisor9.png

  3. Click CREATE.

  4. Select the Subscriptions tab, and click Attach Subscriptions.

    cluster_entitlement_39.png

  5. Search for the Red Hat Developer Subscription (the content here may vary according to the account), select the desired option, and click Attach Subscriptions .

    Warning

    The Red Hat Developer Subscription selected here is for illustration purposes only. Choose an appropriate subscription relevant for your your needs.

  6. Click Download Certificates.

Adding a Cluster-wide Entitlement

Perform the following steps to add a cluster-wide entitlement:

  1. Create an appropriately named local directory. Change to this directory.

  2. Download the machine config YAML template for cluster-wide entitlements on the OpenShift Container Platform. Save the downloaded 0003-cluster-wide-machineconfigs.yaml.template file to the directory created in Step 1:

Using Network Operator to Create NicClusterPolicy in an OpenShift Container Platform

See Deployment Examples for OCP.

Network Operator Upgrade

Before upgrading to Network Operator v23.1.0 or newer with SR-IOV Network Operator enabled, the following manual actions are required:

Warning

$ kubectl -n nvidia-network-operator scale deployment network-operator-sriov-network-operator --replicas 0

$ kubectl -n nvidia-network-operator delete sriovnetworknodepolicies.sriovnetwork.openshift.io default

The network operator provides limited upgrade capabilities, which require additional manual actions if a containerized OFED driver is used. Future releases of the network operator will provide an automatic upgrade flow for the containerized driver.

Since Helm does not support auto-upgrade of existing CRDs, the user must follow a two-step process to upgrade the network-operator release:

  • Upgrade the CRD to the latest version

  • Apply Helm chart update

Downloading a New Helm Chart

To obtain new releases, run:

Copy
Copied!
            

# Download Helm chart $ helm fetch https://helm.ngc.nvidia.com/nvidia/charts/network-operator-23.4.0.tgz $ ls network-operator-*.tgz | xargs -n 1 tar xf


Upgrading CRDs for a Specific Release

It is possible to retrieve updated CRDs from the Helm chart or from the release branch on GitHub. The example below shows how to download and unpack an Helm chart for a specified release, and apply CRDs update from it.

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl apply \ -f network-operator/crds \ -f network-operator/charts/sriov-network-operator/crds


Preparing the Helm Values for the New Release

Download the Helm values for the specific release:

Edit the values-<VERSION>.yaml file as required for your cluster. The network operator has some limitations as to which updates in the NicClusterPolicy it can handle automatically. If the configuration for the new release is different from the current configuration in the deployed release, some additional manual actions may be required.

Known limitations:

  • If component configuration was removed from the NicClusterPolicy, manual clean up of the component's resources (DaemonSets, ConfigMaps, etc.) may be required.

  • If the configuration for devicePlugin changed without image upgrade, manual restart of the devicePlugin may be required.

These limitations will be addressed in future releases.

Warning

Changes that were made directly in the NicClusterPolicy CR (e.g. with kubectl edit) will be overwritten by the Helm upgrade.


Temporarily Disabling the Network-operator

This step is required to prevent the old network-operator version from handling the updated NicClusterPolicy CR. This limitation will be removed in future network-operator releases.

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl scale deployment --replicas=0 -n nvidia-network-operator network-operator

Please wait for the network-operator pod to be removed before proceeding.

Warning

The network-operator will be automatically enabled by the Helm upgrade command. There is no need to enable it manually.


Applying the Helm Chart Update

To apply the Helm chart update, run:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ helm upgrade -n nvidia-network-operator network-operator nvidia/network-operator --version=<VERSION> -f values-<VERSION>.yaml

Warning

The --devel option is required if you wish to use the beta release.


OFED Driver Manual Upgrade

Restarting Pods with a Containerized OFED Driver

Warning

This operation is required only if containerized OFED is in use.

When a containerized OFED driver is reloaded on the node, all pods that use a secondary network based on NVIDIA NICs will lose network interface in their containers. To prevent outage, remove all pods that use a secondary network from the node before you reload the driver pod on it.

The Helm upgrade command will only upgrade the DaemonSet spec of the OFED driver to point to the new driver version. The OFED driver's DaemonSet will not automatically restart pods with the driver on the nodes, as it uses "OnDelete" updateStrategy. The old OFED version will still run on the node until you explicitly remove the driver pod or reboot the node:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl delete pod -l app=mofed-<OS_NAME> -n nvidia-network-operator

It is possible to remove all pods with secondary networks from all cluster nodes, and then restart the OFED pods on all nodes at once.

The alternative option is to perform an upgrade in a rolling manner to reduce the impact of the driver upgrade on the cluster. The driver pod restart can be done on each node individually. In this case, pods with secondary networks should be removed from the single node only. There is no need to stop pods on all nodes.

For each node, follow these steps to reload the driver on the node:

  1. Remove pods with a secondary network from the node.

  2. Restart the OFED driver pod.

  3. Return the pods with a secondary network to the node.

When the OFED driver is ready, proceed with the same steps for other nodes.

Removing Pods with a Secondary Network from the Node

To remove pods with a secondary network from the node with node drain, run the following command:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl drain <NODE_NAME> --pod-selector=<SELECTOR_FOR_PODS>

Warning

Replace <NODE_NAME> with -l "network.nvidia.com/operator.mofed.wait=false" if you wish to drain all nodes at once.


Restarting the OFED Driver Pod

Find the OFED driver pod name for the node:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl get pod -l app=mofed-<OS_NAME> -o wide -A

Example for Ubuntu 20.04:

Copy
Copied!
            

kubectl get pod -l app=mofed-ubuntu20.04 -o wide -A


Deleting the OFED Driver Pod from the Node

To delete the OFED driver pod from the node, run:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl delete pod -n <DRIVER_NAMESPACE> <OFED_POD_NAME>

Warning

Replace <OFED_POD_NAME> with -l app=mofed-ubuntu20.04 if you wish to remove OFED pods on all nodes at once.

A new version of the OFED pod will automatically start.

Returning Pods with a Secondary Network to the Node

After the OFED pod is ready on the node, you can make the node schedulable again.

The command below will uncordon (remove node.kubernetes.io/unschedulable:NoSchedule taint) the node, and return the pods to it:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl uncordon -l "network.nvidia.com/operator.mofed.wait=false"

Automatic OFED Driver Upgrade

To enable automatic OFED upgrade, define the UpgradePolicy section for the ofedDriver in the NicClusterPolicy spec, and change the OFED version.

nicclusterpolicy.yaml:

Copy
Copied!
            

apiVersion: mellanox.com/v1alpha1 kind: NicClusterPolicy metadata: name: nic-cluster-policy namespace: nvidia-network-operator spec: ofedDriver: image: mofed repository: nvcr.io/nvidia/mellanox   version: 23.04-0.5.3.3.1 upgradePolicy: # autoUpgrade is a global switch for automatic upgrade feature # if set to false all other options are ignored autoUpgrade: true # maxParallelUpgrades indicates how many nodes can be upgraded in parallel # 0 means no limit, all nodes will be upgraded in parallel maxParallelUpgrades: 0 # describes the configuration for waiting on job completions waitForCompletion: # specifies a label selector for the pods to wait for completion podSelector: "app=myapp" # specify the length of time in seconds to wait before giving up for workload to finish, zero means infinite # if not specified, the default is 300 seconds timeoutSeconds: 300 # describes configuration for node drain during automatic upgrade drain: # allow node draining during upgrade enable: true # allow force draining force: false # specify a label selector to filter pods on the node that need to be drained podSelector: "" # specify the length of time in seconds to wait before giving up drain, zero means infinite # if not specified, the default is 300 seconds timeoutSeconds: 300 # specify if should continue even if there are pods using emptyDir deleteEmptyDir: false

Apply NicClusterPolicy CRD:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl apply -f nicclusterpolicy.yaml

Warning

To be able to drain nodes, please make sure to fill the PodDisruptionBudget field for all the pods that use it. On some clusters (e.g. Openshift), many pods use PodDisruptionBudget, which makes draining multiple nodes at once impossible. Since evicting several pods that are controlled by the same deployment or replica set, violates their PodDisruptionBudget, this results in those pods not being evicted and in drain failure.

To perform a driver upgrade, the network-operator must evict pods that are using network resources. Therefore, in order to ensure that the network-operator is evicting only the required pods, the upgradePolicy.drain.podSelector field must be configured.

Node Upgrade States

The status upgrade of each node is reflected in its nvidia.com/ofed-upgrade-state annotation. This annotation can have the following values:

Name

Description

Unknown (empty)

The node has this state when the upgrade flow is disabled or the node has not been processed yet.

upgrade-done

Set when OFED POD is up to date and running on the node, the node is schedulable.

upgrade-required

Set when OFED POD on the node is not up-to-date and requires upgrade. No actions are performed at this stage.

cordon-required

Set when the node needs to be made unschedulable in preparation for driver upgrade.

wait-for-jobs-required

Set on the node when waiting is required for jobs to complete until given timeout.

drain-required

Set when the node is scheduled for drain. After the drain, the state is changed either to pod-restart-required or upgrade-failed.

pod-restart-required

Set when the OFED POD on the node is scheduled for restart. After the restart, the state is changed to uncordon-required.

uncordon-required

Set when OFED POD on the node is up-to-date and has "Ready" status. After uncordone, the state is changed to upgrade-done

upgrade-failed

Set when the upgrade on the node has failed. Manual interaction is required at this stage. See Troubleshooting section for more details.

Warning

Depending on your cluster workloads and pod Disruption Budget, set the following values for auto upgrade:

Copy
Copied!
            

apiVersion: mellanox.com/v1alpha1 kind: NicClusterPolicy metadata: name: nic-cluster-policy namespace: nvidia-network-operator spec: ofedDriver: image: mofed repository: nvcr.io/nvidia/mellanox version: 23.04-0.5.3.3.1   upgradePolicy: autoUpgrade: true maxParallelUpgrades: 1 drain: enable: true force: false deleteEmptyDir: true podSelector: ""


Troubleshooting

Issue

Required Action

The node is in drain-failed state.

Drain the node manually by running kubectl drain <node name> --ignore-daemonsets.

Delete the MOFED pod on the node manually, by running the following command:

kubectl delete pod -n `kubectl get pods --A --field-selector spec.nodeName=<node name> -l nvidia.com/ofed-driver --no-headers | awk '{print $1 " "$2}'`.

Wait for the node to complete the upgrade.

The updated MOFED pod failed to start/ a new version of MOFED cannot be installed on the node.

Manually delete the pod by using kubectl delete -n <Network Operator Namespace> <pod name>.

If following the restart the pod still fails, change the MOFED version in the NicClusterPolicy to the previous version or to other working version.

Ensuring Deployment Readiness

Once the Network Operator is deployed, and a NicClusterPolicy resource is created, the operator will reconcile the state of the cluster until it reaches the desired state, as defined in the resource.

Alignment of the cluster to the defined policy can be verified in the custom resource status.

a "Ready" state indicates that the required components were deployed, and that the policy is applied on the cluster.

$ oc delete crds hostdevicenetworks.mellanox.com macvlannetworks.mellanox.com nicclusterpolicies.mellanox.com

Deployment Examples

Since several parameters should be provided when creating custom resources during operator deployment, it is recommended to use a configuration file. While it is possible to override the parameters via CLI, it would be cumbersome, and therefore, not recommended.

Below are deployment examples, which the values.yaml file provided to the Helm during the installation of the network operator. This was achieved by running:

Copy

Network Operator Deployment with an SR-IOV InfiniBand Network

Network Operator deployment with InfiniBand network requires the following:

  • MOFED and OpenSM running. OpenSM runs on top of the MOFED stack, so both the driver and the subnet manager should come from the same installation. Note that partitions that are configured by OpenSM should specify defmember=full to enable the SR-IOV functionality over InfiniBand. For more details, please refer to this article.

  • InfiniBand device – Both host device and switch ports must be enabled in InfiniBand mode.

  • rdma-core package should be installed when an inbox driver is used.

Network Operator Deployment with an SR-IOV InfiniBand Network with PKey Management

Network Operator deployment with InfiniBand network requires the following:

  • MOFED and OpenSM running. OpenSM runs on top of the MOFED stack, so both the driver and the subnet manager should come from the same installation. Note that partitions that are configured by OpenSM should specify defmember=full to enable the SR-IOV functionality over InfiniBand. For more details, please refer to this article.

  • NVIDIA ® UFM ® running on top of OpenSM. For more details, please refer to the project's documentation.

  • InfiniBand device – Both host device and switch ports must be enabled in InfiniBand mode.

  • rdma-core package should be installed when an inbox driver is used.

Current limitations:

  • Only a single PKey can be configured per workload pod.

  • When a single instance of NVIDIA ® UFM ® is used with several K8s clusters, different PKey GUID pools should be configured for each cluster.

Deployment Examples For OpenShift Container Platform

In OCP, some components are deployed by default like Multus and WhereAbouts, whereas others, such as NFD and SR-IOV Network Operator must be deployed manually, as described in the Installation section.

In addition, since there is no use of the Helm chart, the configuration should be done via the NicClusterPolicy CRD.

Following are examples of NicClusterPolicy configuration for OCP.

Network Operator Deployment with a Host Device Network - OCP

Network Operator deployment with:

SR-IOV device plugin, single SR-IOV resource pool:
