Current Challenges with OpenStack Ironic, SR-IOV, and OVN#
Open vSwitch and OVN 2024 Fall Conference (Prague) digest Program Adjacent pick Prague · 20–21 November 2024
Speakers: Michal Nasiadka, Bartosz Bezak, StackHPC (from abstract only)
Why: SR-IOV and bare-metal networking against OVN is an under-documented corner of the stack, told by an operator (StackHPC) rather than a vendor.
What: The ongoing problems implementing OpenStack Neutron ML2/OVN with Ironic/SR-IOV external ports: root causes, solutions under development and their upstream status (testing and reviews), plus temporary production workarounds.
How / Where applicable: No fuller source available; treat as an OpenStack-specific status report useful for anyone doing bare-metal + SR-IOV integration with OVN.
