Class Diagrams Discussion

This section illustrates the core IM design related to VNF resource from different sources.  

  • Run Time Model (VNF Instance)

    1) ECOMP IM (vNF deployment diagram)

    NOTE: This diagram is being updated to align with the design time diagram.

  • Michela Bevilacqua:  ONAP VNF deployment diagram and ETSI IFA015  do not match 1to1. Can we compare and provide class mapping/identify gaps ?
  • IN IFA015 A VnfC is in relation to VirtualStorage, VirtualCompute, VirtualizationContainer and VnfcCp. 
  • In ONAP IM proposal where a VNFCInstance is in relaiton with VM (Type1 vServer), DockerorLinuxContainerInstance ( Type 2) and Type 3

    2) ETSI IFA IM (IFA015 VNFLogicalModel diagram)


              IFA015, VNF Classes Mapping


Michela Bevilacqua: How do we map VNFInfo, InstantiatedVnfInfo and connected Info classes present in IFA015 to ONAP IM?

Xu Yang: In my opinion, the VnfInfo, InstantiatedVnfInfo, etc. can be mapped to attributes of the corresponding resource instance objects.

  • Design Time Model

1) ONAP Resource Model UML

High Level Diagram



VNFDesc - Network View

VNFDesc - VNFCDesc


2) ETSI IFA IM (IFA015 VNFD)

(besides VduCpd, Vdu also has relationship with VirtualComputeDesc, VirtualStorageDesc and swImageDesc; which are omitted in this diagram)


3) SDC IM (normative and heat types)

(omit several types for simplicity)

4) Proposed ONAP R2+ Design Time Model

Resource General View Diagram

    • Resource model includes design time model (ResourceDesc) and run time model (ResourceInstance). Based on one ResourceDesc, zero or more ResourceInstance(s) can be instantiated.
    • “Resource” is a generalization of many objects, for example, VNF, PNF, entitlement, etc. In the above diagram, only VNF, PNF and ServiceVirtualLink (virtual link between NFs) are shown. More specifically,
      • VnfDesc is derived from ResourceDesc, VnfInstance is derived from ResourceInstance. Based on one VnfDesc, zero or more VnfInstance(s) can be instantiated.
      • PnfDesc is derived from ResourceDesc, PnfInstance is derived from ResourceInstance. One PnfDesc is used to describe one PnfInstance.
      • SrvVlDesc is derived from ResourceDesc, SrvVlInstance is derived from ResourceInstance. Based on one SrvVlDesc, zero or more SrvVlInstance(s) can be instantiated.
    • VnfDesc can be composed of one or more VnfcDesc(s) and zero or more VnfVlDesc(s). Correspondingly, VnfInstance can be composed of zero or more VnfcInstance(s) and zero or more VlInstance(s). It should be noted that a VnfInstance comprises zero VnfcInstance is a special case that the VnfInstance object is created but not instantiated.
    • Based on one VnfVlDesc, zero or more VlInstance(s) can be instantiated. And Based on one VnfcDesc, zero or more VnfcInstance(s) can be instantiated.  


VnfDesc General View Diagram

NOTE: This diagram is a proposed model for the VnfDesc, mainly inspired by the model from ETSI IFA015. Not all elements in the VnfDesc are depicted.

    • VnfcDesc is composed of one or more DeploymentFlavor(s), one or more VnfcDesc(s), one or more VnfExtCpDesc(s) and zero or more VnfVlDesc(s).
    • DeploymentFlavor references VnfcDesc and VnfVlDesc.
    • VnfcDesc is composed of one VirtualComputeDesc, one or more VirtualStorageDesc(s), zero or more SwImageDesc(s) and one or more VnfcCpDesc(s).
    • A VirtualStorageDesc can reference a SwImageDesc.
    • A VnfExtCpDesc references to a VnfcCpDesc.
    • VnfcCpDesc can reference a VnfVlDesc.

Attribute Comparison

This section compares the different IM design from different sources.


  • VNFC Run Time Model

    vnfc-name
    		vnfcInstanceId
    		identifier of the vnfc instance
    nfc-naming-code

    Xu Yang: Need specification/reference for the value of this attribute? Xu Yang: Should the attribute name aligned to "vnfc"?

    James Forsyth: No, in a network function we should not care if it's physical or virtual

    		short code of the vnfc instance
    nfc-function

    Xu Yang: Should the attribute name aligned to "vnfc"?
    James Forsyth No, in a network function we should not care if it's physical or virtual

    		description of the vnfc instance
    prov-status

    Xu Yang: need further clarification on how this attribute is used
    James Forsyth: Service assurance systems use this status in their logic to determine the provisioning status.  Values such as: PROVISIONED, PREPROVISIONED, CAPPED might be stored in this attribute

    		Trigger for operational monitoring of this resource by Service Assurance systems
    orchestration-status
    		vnfcState

    Xu Yang: Is it the same as vnfcState (i.e., start or stop)?
    James Forsyth: Used for lifecycle management.  We don't know what vnfcState is.

    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.

    Pamela Dragosh: DCAE monitors this flag. If set it does not "observe" alarms/traps/etc. during control loop.

    		whether in maintenance mode
    is-closed-loop-disabled

    Xu Yang: used by DCAE?
    James Forsyth: There are closed loop actions that DCAE might have policies for, and operations can turn off those actions with this flag

    Pamela Dragosh: Yes actually Policy has the rules that check for this. DCAE does not. DCAE does however check the in-maint flag.

    		used to indicate whether closed loop function is enabled on this node
    group-notation

    Xu Yang: need further clarification on how this attribute is used
    James Forsyth: In some applications, a two or more VMs or VNFCs is referred to by a name, and group-notation represents the name.  Might want to use instance-group to replace this over time.

    		Group notation of VNFC
    model-invariant-id
    		vduId
    		the SDC model id for this resource model

    Xu Yang: Is it used internally in AAI? can be omitted in the general model.
    James Forsyth: It's used internally in AAI to enforce concurrency control, other systems use it to pass to AAI on updates and delete operations.  It can be omitted from the general model

    		Used for optimistic concurrency.  Must be empty on create, valid on update and delete

    		descriptionThe description of the external virtual link
    type




    		The type of resource. Resource type can be either VF, VFC, VFCMT, CP or VL.
    category




    		Category of the resource
    subcategory




    		Sub-category of the resource
    resourceVendor




    		specifies the vendor providing this asset
    resourceVendorRelease




    		specifies the release version given by the vendor (no exact correlation to the version of the asset in the SDC catalog)
    resourceVendorModelNumber




    Metadata of resources (VFs, VFCs, PNF) will include new field resourceVendorModelNumber. The value for this field is the part number defined by the vendor, e.g. “MX960”.

    network_type



    		network_typespecifies the nature of the physical network in the underlying cloud infra-structure. Examples are flat, vlan, gre or vxlan. For flat and vlan types, physical_network should be provided too.
    network_role




    		Unique label that defines the role that this network performs.   example: vce oam network, vnat sr-iov1 network
    network_scope




    		Uniquely identifies the network scope. Valid values for the network scope   includes: VF - VF-level network. Intra-VF network which connects the VFCs (VMs) inside the VF. SERVICE - Service-level network. Intra-Service network which connects  the VFs within the service GLOBAL - Global network which can be shared by multiple services

    		gateway_ipThe gateway IP address.
    network_name



    		network_nameAn Identifier that represents an existing Network instance in the underlying cloud infrastructure - OR - be used as the name of the new created network.
    network_id



    		network_idAn Identifier that represents an existing Network instance in the underlying cloud infrastructure. This property is mutually exclusive with all other properties except network_name.
    segmentation_id



    		segmentation_idA segmentation identifier in the underlying cloud infrastructure (e.g., VLAN id, GRE tunnel id). If the segmentation_id is specified, the network_type or physical_network properties should be provided as well.
    physical_network



    		physical_networkidentifies the physical network on top of which the network is implemented, e.g. physnet1. This property is required if network_type is flat or vlan.
     dhcp_enabled



    		 dhcp_enabledIndicates the TOSCA container to create a virtual network instance with or without a DHCP service.
