IM Table Format
attribute table
| attribute name | cardinality | data type | constraint | description | provider | consumer | note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| name of the attribute | allowed range of occurrence, format: an exact number, or min...max | data type of the attribute | usage constraint | description of the attribute | who provides the value of the attribute | who consumes the value of the attribute | note, reference, comment, etc... |
| (example) | |||||||
| vnfdInvariantId | 1 | invariant identifier of the VNF model | vendor | SDC, AAI? | SDC: invariantUUID | ||
| vnfName | 0..1 | name of the VNF | vendor | SDC, AAI? | SDC: nf_naming, ETSI IFA011v231: vnfProductName | ||
| vnfdVersion | 1 | version of the VNF model | vendor | SDC, AAI? | SDC: version, ETSI IFA011v231: vnfdVersion |
relationship table
| class name | relationship | source/target | cardinality |
|---|---|---|---|
| name of the class | category of the relationship, e.g., association, generalization | whether the described class is source or target of this relationship | allowed range of occurrence, format: an exact number, or min...max |

NFC/VNFC Run Time Model
| AAI (aai_schema_v11 vnfc) | ECOMP IM (VNFC Instance) | ETSI IFA008 (VnfcInfo) | Comment | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| orchestration-status | vnfcState | Xu Yang: Is it the same as vnfcState (i.e., start or stop)? Xu Yang: vnfcState describes the state of a VNFC instance, possible values are: STARTED, STOPPED. STARTED means the VNFC instance is up and running, and STOPPED means the VNFC instance has been shut down (but not terminated/deleted). Similar to the VM power on/off concept. | Orchestration status of this VNF, mastered by APP-C | |
| group-notation | Xu Yang: need further clarification on how this attribute is used | Group notation of VNFC | ||
| model-version-id | the SDC model version for this resource model | |||
| relationship-list | association (VM, Docker, LXC) | AAI: relationship with vserver, vf-module and generic-vnf |
