Note: the page is on-going contracted and finalized information shall be updated


The scope of this page is to define the Onboarding package for a PNF as well as non-MANO artifact specification to be registered with ETSI on ONAP Frankfurt Release.

Comparing to PNF On-boarding on R4 Dublin Release, the updated information is marked as light blue.



New in Frankfurt Release for OnBoarding PNF package.

This page is covering ETSI SOL004 Package on-boarding option with ETSI SOL001 TOSCA VNF/PNF Descriptor.

Other on-boarding package options are not covered, e.g. HEAT, TOSCA VNFD in NON-ETSI compliant package.


CSAR structure on SDC

TOSCA YAML CSAR file is an archive file using the ZIP file format. Two CSAR  structures are defined in ETSI SOL004.

1) CSAR containing a TOSCA-Metadata directory, which includes the TOSCA.meta file

2) CSAR containing a single yaml file at the root fo the archive. 

Option 1) is the unique option supported in ONAP in Dublin, EL-ALTO and Frankfurt.

META FILE AND MANIFEST FILE

The use of the TOSCA.meta and the Manifest file (.mf) in line with ETSI SOL004 will help to:

1) identify the path of the ETSI MANO artifacts (by the .meta file)

2) identify the path of the NON ETSI MANO artifacts (as defined in ETSI SOL004), by the .mf file.

NON ETSI MANO ARTIFACTS

NON-ETSI-MANO Artifacts in the onbarding package are provided by the vendor. They provide information that may enable additional functionalities in ONAP.

All the artifacts are optional in the onboarding package.


According to ETSI SOL004, every NON-ETSI-MANO artifact set shall be identified by a NON-ETSI-MANO artifact set identifier (TAG) which shall be registered in the ETSI registry. 

The Set identifiers can be public or private. ONAP as a public community initiative decided to introduce a set of public identifiers. The following page lists the registered ONAP set identifiers in ETSI registry. 

ONAP Non-MANO Artifacts Set Identifiers


NON-ETSI-MANO artifact sets shall be declared in the manifest file. If the package contains at least one non-MANO artifact set, an entry named "non_mano_artifact_sets:" shall be present in the package on its own line after the "metadata" section.

All files belonging to the same non MANO artifact set shall share a common path prefix (e.g. multiple yang module files will share the same set identifiers).


In Dublin and El Alto following NON-ETSI-MANO artifacts are supported in ONAP: 

1) VES dictionary

2) PM dictionary

3) YANG module files

4) Ansible files

5) information documents provided in the onap_others set identifier


In Frankfurt, following NON-ETSI-MANO artifacts are expected to be supported in ONAP

1) VES dictionary

2) PM dictionary

3) YANG module files

4) Ansible files

5) information documents provided in the onap_others set identifier

6) PNF software information file


ONAP PUBLIC NON-MANO ARTIFACTS SET APPROVED by ONAP TSC for REGISTRATION in ETSI

The followings are the public non-MANO artifact set identifiers which can be used in a PNF/VNF onboarding package.

The introduction in the manifest file allow to isolate the ONAP specific topics as follows:

  • onap_ves_events: contains VES registration files

  • onap_pm_dictionary: contains the PM dictionary files (file names are not defined in ONAP)

  • onap_yang_modules: contains Yang module files for configurations  (file names are not defined in ONAP)

  • onap_ansible_playbooks: contains any ansible_playbooks  (file names are not defined in ONAP)

  • onap_others: contains any other non_MANO artifacts, e.g. informational documents

  • onap_pnf_sw_information: contains PNF software related information. In Frankfurt, it contains a new file for PNF software information

NON-MANO  Artifact Set Identifier name

   onap_pnf_sw_information: contains PNF software related information. In Frankfurt, it contains a new file for PNF software information:

pnf_sw_information.yaml
description: "pnf software information"
provider: "Ericsson"
version: "1.0"
pnf_software_infomation:
  - description: "software version of PNF"
    pnf_software_version: "5gDUv18.05.201"


NEXT STEPS IN FRANKFURT TIMEFRAME

1) In FRANKFURT timeframe SDC is going to implement the PNF package onboarding in line with the agreed non-MANO artifact set identifiers. ( SDC-2589 - Getting issue details... STATUS )

2) Register the NON-MANO artifact set identifiers in ETSI and update the reference ONAP page.

3) Document the ONAP non-MANO artifact set identifiers in the VNF RQT as new ONAP requirements.( VNFRQTS-744 - Getting issue details... STATUS )

4) create a csar package file example aligned to Frankfurt release to be added in this page(UPDATE IT LATER)

5) Is CMCC going to test Onboarding Package for VNF in ElAlto ? Can we extend the onboarding package support to VNF ? (Jira ticket: SDC-2072)


PNF ONBOARDING PACKAGE EXAMPLE WITH USING NON-MANO ARTIFACTS in FRANKFURT

In the picture below, an example of a PNF onboarding package including a manifest file with URI's for non-MANO artifacts used in Frankfurt



NOTES about the example: Folder/file name MANDATORY according to  SOL004:

  • TOSCA-Metadata directory and TOSCA.meta file (unique CSAR package structure supported in ONAP Frankfurt)
  • Manifest file extension, XXX.mf,  located at the root or in a location identified in the .meta file. The name of the file is the same of the TOSCA yaml file

Ín the example the following files are not provided: 

  • ChangeLog.txt, a human readable text file at the root or in a location identified in the .meta file. (NOT PROVIDED IN THE EXAMPLE )
  • xNF testing procedure, NOT mandatory files according to ETSI
  • A license term file for the xNF located in a directory named Licences located at the root or in a location identified in the .meta file (NOT PROVIDED IN THE EXAMPLE )
  • certification files as they could differ according to the type of security option provided by the vendor (NOT PROVIDED IN THE EXAMPLE )

A reference PNF CSAR PACKAGE as example is available dummyPnfv2.csar  (TO BE UPDATED) to review directories structure and new .meta and .mf files format.

NOTES about the Dummy PNF CSAR PACKAGE example:

1) Only csar package structure with TOSCA-Metadata directory will be supported in Dublin timeframe

2) PM Dictionary, Event registration, Yang modules and PNF software information are the only NON MANO ARTIFACTS that will be listed in the manifest file

3) Multiple yang-module files the manifest file and in the dummy package with the intent to demonstrate that multiple files can be assosicated to a single keyword (according to ETSI SOL004)

4) Example package above does not include any certification file or other security options.

During the 2019-01-18 VNFPKG meeting we agreed to evaluate further the introduction of public identifiers to be approved in ETSI for ONAP.


Example Signed Packages

Here are two example signed packages. The packages are signed according to security option 2 in ETSI SOL004. The two file package has the signing certificate in the cryptographic message syntax. The three file has the certificate in a separate file and not in the cryptographic syntax.

2-file-signed-package.zip

3-file-signed-package.zip

Note: Only the complete package is signed. There is no signature included for the files in the package.
