tosca.nodes.nfv.VNF

as properties

support: MANDATORY

valueRange: use the name of micro-service of the vnfm drive. For vendor specific VNFM, the value composes of "vendorname" and "vnfmdriver", e.g. "mycompanyvnfmdriver"; for generic VNFM, the value is "gvnfmdriver".

tosca.nodes.nfv.VNF

as properties

Information about localization languages of the VNF (includes e.g. strings in the VNFD).

NOTE: This allows to provide one or more localization languages to support selecting a specific localization language at VNF instantiation time.

support: MANDATORY

valueRange: refer to ISO936 https://www.iso.org/iso-639-language-codes.html

tosca.nodes.nfv.VNF

as properties

Modeled as “string”

Default localization language that is instantiated if no information about selected localization language is available.

support: MANDATORY

valueRange: refer to ISO936 https://www.iso.org/iso-639-language-codes.html

condition: Shall be present if "localizationLanguage" is present and shall be absent otherwise.

tosca.capabilities.nfv.VirtualCompute

tosca.nodes.nfv.VnfExtCpd

Describes the modifiable attributes of the VNF.

Editor's note: need check the usage of this attribute

LifeCycleManagementOperationDesc

Unique identifier of this Vdu in VNFD.

tosca.nodes.nfv.VduCpd

tosca.nodes.nfv.Cpd

tosca.capabilities.nfv.VirtualCompute

tosca.capabilities.nfv.VirtualStorage

Boot order of valid boot devices.

NOTE: If no boot order is defined the default boot order defined in the VIM or NFVI shall be used.

support: MANDATORY

valueRange: "key/name" indicates the the boot index (lowest index defines highest boot priority). "value" references a descriptor from which a valid boot device is created e.g. VirtualStorageDesc from which a VirtualStorage instance is created.

0..1

Editor's note: the scenario of using "0" needs to be clarified.

Describes the software image which is directly loaded on the virtualisation container realising this Vdu.

NOTE: More software images can be attached to the virtualisation container using VirtualStorage resources.

tosca.artifacts.nfv.SwImage

Describes constraints on the NFVI for the VNFC instance(s) created from this Vdu. For example, aspects of a secure hosting environment for the VNFC instance that involve additional entities or processes.

NOTE: These are constraints other than stipulating that a VNFC instance has access to a certain resource, as a prerequisite to instantiation. The attributes virtualComputeDesc and virtualStorageDesc define the resources required for instantiation of the VNFC instance.

support: MANDATORY

valueRange: "key/name" includes "AvailabilityZone", "HostAggregates".

logicalNodeRequirements

KeyValuePair/NameValuePair

0..N

The logical node-level compute, memory and I/O requirements. An array of key-value pairs that articulate the deployment requirements.

This could include the number of CPU cores on this logical node, a memory configuration specific to a logical node (e.g. such as available in the Linux kernel via the libnuma library) or a requirement related to the association of an I/O device with the logical node.

cpdId

Identifier

1

Identifier of this Cpd information element.

cpRole

String

0..1

Identifies the role of the port in the context of the traffic flow patterns in the VNF or parent NS.

For example a VNF with a tree flow pattern within the VNF will have legal cpRoles of ROOT and LEAF.

tosca.nodes.nfv.Cpd as Properties

description

String

0..1

Provides human-readable information on the purpose of the CP (e.g. CP for control plane traffic).

cpProtocol

CpProtocolData

1..N

Identifies the protocol layering information the CP uses for connectivity purposes and associated information. There shall be one cpProtocol for each layer protocol as indicated by the attribute layerProtocol.

Editor's note: the attribute "layerProtocol" still needs further discussion and not included in this table.

trunkMode

Boolean

1

Information about whether the CP instantiated from this CPD is in Trunk mode (802.1Q or other).

allowedAddressData

AddressData

0..N

For specifying floating IP(s) to be shared among Cpds, which are reserved for vnfReservedCpd described in the VNFD.

support: MANDATORY

bitrateRequirement

Number (recommended DM type: Scalar-Unit-Rate)

0..1

Bitrate requirement on this CP.

vnicName

String

0..1

Describes the name of the vNIC this CP attaches to, e.g. eth0. It will be configured during the Vdu booting process.

vnicOrder

Integer

0..1

Describes the order to create the vNIC within the scope of this Vdu.

vnicType

Enum

0..1

Describes the type of the vNIC this CP attaches to.

support: MANDATORY

valueRange: normal, macvtap, direct, baremetal, direct-physical and virtio-forwarder

vduId

Identifier (Reference to Vdu)

1

Uniquely identifies a VDU.

minNumberOfInstances

Integer

1

Minimum number of instances of the VNFC based on this VDU that is permitted to exist for this flavour.

maxNumberOfInstances

Integer

1

Maximum number of instances of the VNFC based on this VDU that is permitted to exist for this flavour.

localAffinityOrAntiAffinityRule

LocalAffinityOrAntiAffinityRule

0..N

Specifies affinity or anti-affinity rules applicable between the virtualisation containers (e.g. virtual machines) to be created based on this VDU.

When the cardinality is greater than 1, both affinity rule(s) and anti-affinity rule(s) with different scopes (e.g. "Affinity with the scope resource zone and anti-affinity with the scope NFVI node") are applicable to the virtualisation containers (e.g. virtual machines) to be created based on this VDU.

support: MANDATORY

Identifier(s) of the affinity or anti-affinity group(s) the VDU belongs to.

NOTE: Each identifier references an affinity or anti-affinity group which expresses affinity or anti-affinity relationships between the virtualisation container(s) (e.g. virtual machine(s)) to be created using this VDU and the virtualisation container(s) (e.g. virtual machine(s)) to be created using other VDU(s) in the same group.
