vnfmInfoString0..* (IFA has 1..*)

Identifies VNFM(s) compatible with the VNF described in this version of the VNFD.

Using 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".

cardinality change

Value is specified according to the usage in VFC project.

Lower cardinality is changed to 0 because not all VNFs in ONAP need to be managed by VNFMs, SO/APPC could also serve the similar functionality.

localizationLanguageString0..*

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.

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

Description

virtualCpuPinningPolicy

Enum

0..1

The policy can take values of "static" or "dynamic". In case of "static" the virtual CPU cores are requested to be allocated to logical CPU cores according to the rules defined in virtualCpuPinningRules. In case of "dynamic" the allocation of virtual CPU cores to logical CPU cores is decided by the VIM. (e.g.: SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) requirements).
