Verification: Versions: OCP: 4.9.12 PAO: performance-addon-operator-container-v4.9.4-6 # cat performance_profile.yaml apiVersion: performance.openshift.io/v2 kind: PerformanceProfile metadata: name: performance spec: cpu: isolated: "3-5" realTimeKernel: enabled: true nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker-cnf: "" # oc apply -f performance_profile.yaml The PerformanceProfile "performance" is invalid: spec.cpu.reserved: Required value # oc get performanceprofile No resources found According to the output above, a PP cannot be created without specifying spec.cpu.reserved value.
A complement to the verification above: Verify that PAO CRD displays the correct required fields: oc describe crd performanceprofiles.performance.openshift.io .. Description: CPU defines a set of CPU related parameters. Properties: Balance Isolated: Description: BalanceIsolated toggles whether or not the Isolated CPU set is eligible for load balancing work loads. When this option is set to "false", the Isolated CPU set will be static, meaning workloads have to explicitly assign each thread to a specific cpu in order to work across multiple CPUs. Setting this to "true" allows workloads to be balanced across CPUs. Setting this to "false" offers the most predictable performance for guaranteed workloads, but it offloads the complexity of cpu load balancing to the application. Defaults to "true" Type: boolean Isolated: Description: Isolated defines a set of CPUs that will be used to give to application threads the most execution time possible, which means removing as many extraneous tasks off a CPU as possible. It is important to notice the CPU manager can choose any CPU to run the workload except the reserved CPUs. In order to guarantee that your workload will run on the isolated CPU: 1. The union of reserved CPUs and isolated CPUs should include all online CPUs 2. The isolated CPUs field should be the complementary to reserved CPUs field Type: string Reserved: Description: Reserved defines a set of CPUs that will not be used for any container workloads initiated by kubelet. Type: string Required: isolated reserved <========================= Type: object according to the CRD description, "reserved" field is now stated as required.
