Organization Mgmt, Sales Strategies - Harmonizing PNF and VNF software management in a model and workflow driven manner is essential in 5G systems where PNFs will continue to exist in large numbers and they are expected to have more frequent software upgrades (as they will have more capabilities that can be controlled or upgraded via software). Thus ONAP can be the "go-to" solution if this harmonization can be done successfully.



R5 Candidate Enhancements for PNF Software Upgrade

R5 CANDIDATE ENHANCEMENTS

IMPACT

PNF Reporting its S/W version (NetConf)

PNF sends information regarding its Software Version directly to ONAP through a VES event. (possibly already covered with PNF Registration)

Support of NetConf & Yang models

PNF Software Upgrade using NetConf for direct ONAP to PNF communication.

Software Update Coverage Analysis 

Find out what services, control loops, etc. are impacted during and post software update before the PNF software update

Post/Pre PNF SW Update Event Workflows

Deregistration, re-registration 

VNF & PNF in-place software upgrade processes alignment

Unifying PNF and VNF entries in A&AI

VID support

Execute the E2E run time software upgrade workflow. 

3GPP Alignment

3GPP TS32.532 Automated/non-Automated S/W mgmt. API between manager & managed entity (south-bound of controller).

...

In the future, this might be fetched from A&AI. SO would do the lookup and pass to the controller.
