Work in progress
Goal
- Migrate PNF PNP workflow to Building Blocks (BBs).
- Include newly created BBs in Service-Macro-Create flow.
By PNF PNP workflow we understand 2 BPMNs:
- CreateAndActivatePnfResource
- ConfigurePnfResource
Both included in CreateVcpeResCustService_simplified BPMN
Proposed building blocks
AssignPnfBB
- Responsibility:
- Creates PNF entry in AAI
- Makes a link in AAI between Service entry and PNF entry
- Currently implemented in CreateAndActivatePnfResource.bpmn
- Things to consider:
- In current implementation connecting PNF entry in AAI with service entry is done at the end of CreateAndActivatePnfResource (after the "PNF ready" event is received)
WaitForPnfReadyBB
- Responsibility:
- Waits for "PNF ready" event sent from PRH to DMaaP
- Currently implemented in CreateAndActivatePnfResource.bpmn
- Things to consider:
- BBS-related parameters stored in AAI?
- Make new BBs generic enough (i.e. wait for an event sent to DMaaP) that they could be reused in other flows (request from Seshu)
ConfigAssignPnfBB
- Responsibility:
- Runs config assign via CDS
- Currently implemented in ConfigurePnfResource.bpmn
- Things to consider:
- New approach to calling CDS/controllers - ControllerExecutionBB/actor in SDC model (Henry Xie, see https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/SO+Weekly+Meeting+2019-12-4)
- Service decompositioon should handle SkipPostInstantiationConfiguration
ConfigDeployPnfBB
- Responsibility:
- Runs config deploy via CDS
- Currently implemented in ConfigurePnfResource.bpmn
- Things to consider:
- New approach to calling CDS/controllers - ControllerExecutionBB/actor in SDC model (Henry Xie, see https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/SO+Weekly+Meeting+2019-12-4)
- Service decompositioon should handle SkipPostInstantiationConfiguration
ActivatePnfBB
- Responsibility:
- Sets PNF orchestration status in AAI as Active
Proposed sequence in Service-Macro-Create flow
- AssignServiceInstanceBB
- CreateNetworkCollectionBB
- AssignNetworkBB
- AssignVnfBB
- AssignVolumeGroupBB
- AssignVfModuleBB
- AssignPnfBB
- WaitForPnfReadyBB
- ActivatePnfBB
- CreateNetworkBB
- ActivateNetworkBB
- CreateVolumeGroupBB
- ActivateVolumeGroupBB
- CreateVfModuleBB
- ActivateVfModuleBB
- ActivateVnfBB
- ActivateNetworkCollectionBB
- ActivateServiceInstanceBB
What about config assign and config deploy?
SO framework - required changes
API handler
GR API
SO API currently doesn't allow to send PNF information in user data section.
Building Block framework
Service decomposition (Retrieve BB Execution List)
GeneralBuildingBlock initialization (BB Input Setup)
VID - required changes
Other considerations
- Are all required PNF parameters included in GeneralBuildingBlock->ServiceInstance→Pnf?
- Currently those are:
- pnf-id
- pnf-name
- role
- orchestration-status
- cloud-region
- Currently AAI schema (aai_schema_v19.xsd) for PNF contains:
- Fields: pnf-name, pnf-name2, selflink, pnf-name2-source, pnf-id, equip-type, equip-vendor, equip-model, management-option, orchestration-status, ipaddress-v4-oam, sw-version, in-maint, frame-id, serial-number, ipaddress-v4-loopback-0, ipaddress-v6-loopback-0, ipaddress-v4-aim, ipaddress-v6-aim, ipaddress-v6-oam, inv-status, resource-version, prov-status, nf-role, admin-status, operational-status, model-customization-id, model-invariant-id, model-version-id (from SO cataloge), pnf-ipv4-address, pnf-ipv6-address
- Sub-structures: software-versions, relationship-list, p-interfaces, lag-interfaces, vrfs
- BBInputSetup implementation does not mention PNF at all - is it even initialized in GeneralBuildingBlock?
- PNF ip is resolved by CDS by PNF ID (it should be in AAI) - it's populated by PRH
- Currently those are:
- How to include new BBs in Service-Macro-Create flow?
- Where to put new BBs in the flow sequence?
- Service decomposition in WorkflowActionBB may not unserstand PNFs (Retrieve BB Execution List)
- Service decompositioon should handle SkipPostInstantiationConfiguration
- PNF orchestration status changes in AAI - which states should be assigned in which steps of the workflow
- Should we have ActivatePnfBB?
- PNF SW upgrade (Oskar Malm)
- PNF should be active - PNP is finished
- new Upgrade flow will be created (BBs vs traditional considered)
- 5G NRM Configuration - plan for new BB which invokes configuration via CDS of NRM resource(?) (Yaoguang Wang, see https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/SO+Weekly+Meeting+2019-12-4)
- Make new BBs generic enough that they could be reused in other flows (request from Seshu)
- Service-Macro-Delete
- Should we delete PNF resource from AAI on service deletion?
- We plan to leave it. What orchestration status should it get? Inactive?
- Should we delete PNF resource from AAI on service deletion?
