DPUs and SmartNICs

This section provides detail and specificities of Data Processing Units (DPUs) and SmartNICs as introduced by the DMTF in this document.

Nokia Cloud RAN SmartNIC

The data model of the Nokia Cloud RAN SmartNIC card, as well as examples of requests and responses are presented in this paragraph.

Properties

The Nokia Cloud RAN SmartNIC card is modeled in the Redfish tree as a Network Adapter contained in the main Chassis subsystem (/redfish/v1/Chassis/1).

Getting properties

The following example retrieves the properties of a Nokia Cloud RAN SmartNIC card from the NetworkAdapter subsystem, including Status/Health and BootStage.

Setting properties

Writeable properties can be modified with a PATCH request against the NetworkAdapter/{item} URI. The following example configures the Nokia SmartNIC card to boot from a specific Bank.

TIP

Property modification are effective immediately after a successful PATCH request (no server restart required).

The BootBankSelected property supports the following values:

  • Bank1
  • Bank2
