Summary

Bare-metal clusters (BCM and similar) provision nodes with no spec.providerID, so platform detection resolves them to onprem, and no platform-specific catalog or WorkloadRun override matches (only the platform-agnostic GB200/GB300 ComputeDomain block applies). On GB200/GB300 NVL72 that means the fabric env is untuned, no NIC resource is requested, and the pods do not even schedule: the nodes are arm64 and typically tainted, and nothing added tolerations.

  • add onprem + gpuArchitecture in [gb200, gb300] override blocks to all five communication entries, both training entries, and the WorkloadRun override matrix, built from shared _lib/ fragments so both surfaces render the same content
  • the NCCL env is IB-friendly but portable: no NCCL_IB_HCA or UCX_NET_DEVICES pinning (HCA names are per-site facts; NCCL auto-detects when unpinned); the communication blocks replace the base lists (trainer.args on the MPI perf variants, trainer.env on the loopback variants), so they carry the base NCCL_NVLS_ENABLE/NCCL_CUMEM_ENABLE/NCCL_P2P_NET_CHUNKSIZE/NCCL_MNNVL_ENABLE vars as well
  • both tolerations from the field-validated Mistral patch: kubernetes.io/arch=arm64:NoSchedule and nvidia.com/gpu=present:NoSchedule
  • the NIC resource name is auto-detected when it is unambiguous: a candidate qualifies if it matches rdma/* or nvidia.com/mlnxnics and has allocatable > 0 on every target node; exactly one qualifier is injected, zero or several inject nothing and emit a NICResourceDetection event naming what was seen. Detection runs only for onprem gb200/gb300 targets, in the controllers and render --dry-run; offline render has no cluster and stays field-only
  • nicResourceName (spec-level or per category; parallel field on WorkloadRun) always wins over detection, for ambiguous sites or unusual device plugins; count comes from the existing mlnxPerNode. The detection guarantee covers the name, not the count: mlnxPerNode above a node's allocatable still pends, tune it as before
  • the platform-agnostic GB200/GB300 ComputeDomain block is unchanged; the onprem blocks sit at the tail of each overrides list so their args/env replacements win, same ordering discipline as ADR-058
  • new onprem-gb300 render node fixture, and the --platform help string now lists onprem
  • docs: on-prem section in platform-detection including the metal3:// warning (Metal3-provisioned bare metal detects as mistral and picks up that site's pinned HCAs; --platform onprem is the render escape hatch); nicResourceName (and mlnxPerNode) rows in the api-reference pages; ADR-075 in docs/designs/

Detection is pinned by 11 unit golden cases (single/multiple/none, per-node allocatable rules, prefix-vs-lookalike names, field bypass, platform and arch gates) and two integration cases: auto-detect renders the same TrainingRuntime as the explicit-field case with no field set, and an ambiguous two-candidate cluster injects nothing while tolerations and env stay intact. Verified by rendering GB200 and GB300 certs with --platform onprem, with and without nicResourceName, plus an H100 control that must not match: tolerations and env present exactly where expected, NIC resource only when configured, no NCCL_IB_HCA anywhere, H100 unchanged. New goldens cover the platform override builder (torch with and without NIC, MPI with NIC), certification renders (including per-category NIC and the H100 control), and an integration case mirroring the Mistral one; existing goldens gained only the appended override blocks (two for torch/exec, one for MPI since the env block is non-MPI), the NicResourceName config echo in the override-builder projections, and the onprem-gb300 entry in the mock-node list goldens; no resolved-output changes. Full integration suite green; make verify-doc-links clean.

Merge bar: ADR-075's env-var list and the UAT expected output are finalized against the scheduled real-GB300 field validation; the ADR carries that gate in its Notes. Known follow-ups: the UAT fixture is deferred because its golden can only be authored from a live Kind+KWOK run, and ADR-075 gates the UAT expected output on real-hardware validation; the env-var list is finalized against a field validation run on real GB300 IB hardware (an engagement offering exactly that is lined up).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds count-aware NIC detection for Certification and WorkloadRun. It propagates effective platform selection through dry-run rendering and workflow resolution. It adds on-premises GB200/GB300 runtime patches, InfiniBand settings, tolerations, and conditional NIC resource injection. It adds category image and source-repository options, rendering tests, and documentation for capacity handling and detection events.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

COMMENT review — not an approve / request-changes gate.

Checked against HEAD b0a0685 (two commits on feat/318-onprem-override), issue #318, ADR-075, the shared _lib/ fragments, NIC detection unit/integration goldens, certification render goldens (including the H100 control), platform-detection docs, and CI (Test/UAT green; Lint red). The override shape is the right answer for generic NVL72 bare metal; a few concrete gaps keep this from a clean approve.

What looks right

  • Matcher + ordering. platform: onprem + gpuArchitecture in [gb200, gb300] at the tail of each overrides list matches ADR-058 discipline: the on-prem args/env replacements win over the platform-agnostic GB200/GB300 ComputeDomain block without touching that block.
  • Shared fragments. Catalog communication/training entries and pkg/platform/overrides/workloadrun.yaml both pull _lib/nccl/onprem-ib-env.yaml and the two runtime-patch deps, so Certification and WorkloadRun cannot drift on tolerations / env / NIC injection. Loopback correctly re-lists NCCL_SHM_DISABLE/NCCL_P2P_DISABLE under list-replace; loopback-nvswitch correctly omits them.
  • Portable IB env. Omitting NCCL_IB_HCA / UCX_NET_DEVICES (vs mistral pinning) is the right call for multi-site on-prem. MPI catalog variants push the same list through toMpiArgs; WorkloadRun non-MPI gets jobTemplate env and MPI inherits the training-patch container env — same split mistral already uses.
  • Tolerations. Both kubernetes.io/arch=arm64:NoSchedule and nvidia.com/gpu=present:NoSchedule land on the TrainingRuntime node job; H100 control golden stays empty, so the matcher is not over-firing.
  • NIC detection contract. Field always wins; gate is onprem+gb200/gb300 only; candidate set is rdma/* + exact nvidia.com/mlnxnics; qualify = allocatable > 0 on every target node; zero/ambiguous → inject nothing + NICResourceDetection event. Controllers, cert --dry-run, and WR --dry-run share resolveNICResourceName / ResolveNICResourceName. Offline render stays field-only as documented.
  • Goldens. 11 detect-nic-resource cases (single/multi/none, missing/zero allocatable, prefix-vs-lookalike, field bypass, platform/arch gates), cert render with/without NIC + per-category NIC + H100 control, platform override-builder onprem cases, and the three onprem-gb300 reconcile fixtures (explicit / autodetect / ambiguous) cover the behavior the ADR promises. No NCCL_IB_HCA in the on-prem expected paths I spot-checked.
  • Docs. Platform-detection on-prem section, Metal3→mistral warning with --platform onprem escape hatch, api-reference nicResourceName/mlnxPerNode rows, and ADR-075 are substantive and mostly aligned with the code.

1. ADR-075 collides with #309

Same numbering collision already called out on #309: that PR still lands docs/designs/075-scheduling-stall-visibility.md, and this one lands docs/designs/075-onprem-gb200-gb300-override.md (+ README row). Main’s latest is 074. Please renumber one before either merges — otherwise the second merge fights the README/table and the ADR identity.

2. Lint is red on this HEAD

CI Lint fails on b0a0685 with:

  • pkg/certification/certification.go:315,328 — staticcheck QF1008: cert.Spec.CategoryOptions.NicResourceName can be cert.Spec.NicResourceName (CategoryOptions is embedded inline on CertificationSpec).
  • pkg/controller/nic_detect_test.go:49 — modernize embedlit: fold the Name / Status.Allocatable assignments into the corev1.Node{...} literal.

Trivial fixes; worth landing before the next review pass so Lint is not the only red check.

3. API/CRD godoc still denies auto-detection

api/v1alpha1/certification_types.go and workloadrun_types.go (and the generated CRD descriptions) say:

When unset, no NIC resource is requested and scheduling is unchanged.

That was true before Decision item 4. Controllers + dry-run now fill the field from detection, and docs/api-reference/certification.md already documents that. Operators reading kubectl explain / the OpenAPI description get the pre-detection story. Please update the godoc (and regenerate CRDs) so the CRD description matches the api-reference: unset → detect when gated; inject only on a single qualifier; otherwise unchanged + event.

Same stale line in renderCertification: “only ever user-supplied” — true for offline, but dry-run mutates the field first; a one-line clarification would help the next reader.

4. --platform escape hatch does not survive --dry-run the way the Metal3 warning implies

Docs (and ADR Notes) tell Metal3/metal3:// sites to preview generic on-prem with nvcrectl certification render --platform onprem. That works on the offline path (resolveWorkflowsOffline builds a synthetic onprem node). Two dry-run gaps:

  • WorkloadRun: newWorkloadRunRenderCommand drops platformFlag entirely when dryRun is set (runWorkloadRunRenderDryRun(...) never receives it). --dry-run --platform onprem on a Metal3 fleet still detects mistral, so the onprem override and NIC detection never run.
  • Certification: platformFlag is validated and passed into renderCertification (GPU defaults only). Override matching in dry-run goes through ResolveWorkflow on real nodes, and applyNICDetection gates on DetectPlatform(nodes) — not the flag. So --dry-run --platform onprem still applies mistral overrides / skips onprem NIC detection on metal3:// nodes.

Either wire the flag through both dry-run paths (validate, override detected platform, feed the same value into NIC resolution + override context), or tighten the Metal3 warning to “offline render only; --dry-run always trusts providerID.” Right now the warning overclaims for the dry-run combo.

5. Residual (not blocking if left explicit)

  • Name vs count. Detection requires only qty > 0, while GB200/GB300 default mlnxPerNode: 8. ADR-075 consciously defers count detection and the PR description is honest that oversize mlnxPerNode still Pending — fine, but the NICResourceDetection success path never warns when allocatable < requested count. A stderr/event note when detection picks a name whose min allocatable is below the resolved mlnxPerNode would close the silent-Pending hole without changing the “never guess the name” rule.
  • HW / UAT. ADR Status is Accepted while Notes still gate the env list and UAT expected output on real-GB300 validation, and the UAT fixture is deferred. Call that out in the merge bar (or drop Status to Proposed until the engagement lands) so “Accepted” is not ahead of the evidence the ADR itself asks for.

Happy to re-review once ADR numbering, Lint, godoc, and the --platform/--dry-run story are straightened out.

Most of this was fixed in 207fa9e, pushed while you were reviewing b0a0685. The godoc and the remaining lint findings land in the next push, will follow up here when they do.

  1. ADR numbering: 075/076/077 form the in-flight block on this and the two sibling branches (feat(platform): make the gang scheduler queue label key configurable #332, feat(certification): sshd install guard and a workload image override for air-gapped clusters #326) and cross-reference each other, so my preference is feat(controller): surface scheduling stalls as WorkloadSchedulingBlocked #309 takes 078. Happy to renumber this side instead if that lands first.
  2. --platform vs --dry-run: fixed in 207fa9e for both CLIs. WorkloadRun dry-run validates the flag and it wins over detection for defaults, NIC resolution, MPI overrides, BuildOverrideContext, and status output. The certification dry-run had the same gap for the detection gate and override matching; both spots are fixed, so the Metal3 warning holds for dry-run too.
  3. Name vs count: 207fa9e went further than the warning you suggested. Qualification now requires allocatable at or above the resolved mlnxPerNode on every target node, so detection cannot pick a name whose count would pend, and the event names the requested count when candidates fall short.
  4. Merge bar: added to the PR description. The env list and UAT expected output are finalized against the scheduled real-GB300 field validation, and the ADR states that gate in its Notes.

Lint and the godoc are done in 6e9c587. The two modernize findings are fixed (max() at the floor site, the flattened literal in the test), and to prove it locally I rebuilt golangci-lint v2.13.2 with GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.27.0 since the Makefile-installed binary is built with go1.26.8 and refuses the target: full repo now lints at 0 issues. The nicResourceName godoc in both types tells the detection story now (identical text, regenerated CRDs at all three field sites, the old "scheduling is unchanged" phrasing is gone from kubectl explain), and the renderCertification comment says plainly that only offline is user-supplied while dry-run writes the detected name first.

Looks like this needs a rebase onto main before re-review (conflicts after the recent main merges).

Resolve doc table conflicts and propagate the sshd install guard
from PR 326 into the three onprem-gb300-nccl integration goldens
added on this branch.

Detect NIC resources after GPU-capacity filtering.

Line 454 evaluates archNodes before Line 462 removes nodes that cannot supply gpusPerNode. If an excluded node lacks the RDMA resource, detection refuses the valid candidate even when every node that can run the job advertises it. The resulting workflow omits its NIC request.

Move NIC detection after dropUnderCapacityNodes and pass capableNodes.

189-189: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Resolve NIC detection for each category count.

applyNICDetection uses only the spec-level mlnxPerNode and stores one detected name in cert.Spec.NicResourceName. A category can override mlnxPerNode, then inherit a resource name approved for a smaller count. For example, detection can approve rdma/ib at 8, while a category requests 16. The rendered pod remains Pending because the resource request exceeds node allocatable capacity.

Resolve detection per category after ResolveOptions, using that category’s resolved mlnxPerNode. Do not persist an auto-detected global name for categories that require a different count.
