Systems and methods for automating virtual network interface controller configuration during workload provisioning

摘要

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a network interface and a processor. The network interface may include a plurality of physical ports, each physical port configured to be coupled to a corresponding switch interfacing between the physical port and a switching fabric comprising one or more virtual local area networks. The processor may be configured to receive workload requirements defining operational parameters for one or more virtual network interface controllers and automatically assign each of the one or more virtual network interface controllers to a partition of one of the plurality of physical ports based on the operational parameters.

1. An information handling system comprising:
a network interface comprising a plurality of physical ports, each physical port configured to be coupled to a corresponding switch interfacing between the physical port and a switching fabric comprising one or more virtual local area networks; and a processor configured to:
receive workload requirements defining operational parameters for one or more virtual network interface controllers; andautomatically assign each of the one or more virtual network interface controllers to a partition of one of the plurality of physical ports based on the operational parameters, wherein automatically assigning each of the one or more virtual network interface controllers to a partition of one of the plurality of physical ports comprises, for each virtual network interface controller:
filtering the corresponding switches to create a filtered switch list comprising switches having connectivity to virtual local area networks specified in the operational parameters to be associated with the virtual network interface controller;filtering the ports to create a filtered port list comprising switching having connectivity to the switches of the filtered switch list;creating a list of available partitions of the ports of the filtered port list, the available partitions comprising partitions not yet assigned to one of the plurality of virtual network interface controllers; andassigning the virtual network interface controller to an available partition on the list of available partitions of one of the plurality of physical ports based on the operational parameters.
