Manual Configurations for 5G network Slicing

1. UUI Configuration

Configure CST template UUID and Invariant UUID in slicing.properties file of uui-server microservice

In uui-server microservice, modify the following configuration file, /home/UUI/config/slicing.properties

Add or update the parameters slicing.serviceInvariantUuid and parameter slicing.serviceUuid.

The values of these two parameters come from CST template which can be find on SDC page.

2. MSB Configuration

Register so-orchestrationTasks and so-serviceInstances interface to MSB.

Interface registration can be done through portal.

Steps(Portal):

Link: https://{{master server ip}}:30284/iui/microservices/default.html

1.Select ‘Service Discover’ in the left pane

2. Click 'Service Register' button.

3. Input the basic info as the picture shows(also refer to the registration info provided above)

4. Click Add Host button.

Input IP Address and Port then click the 'SAVE' button. （Use cmd ’kubectl get svc -n onap so‘ to confirm IP and port.）

5. Input the basic info as the picture shows for so-orchestrationTasks (also refer to the registration info provided above)

6. You should add a aai-business service for MSB.
Steps:

Got to msb https://{{master server ip}}:30284/iui/microservices/default.html
Select "Service Discover" from left panel
Click "Service Register" button
- ADD the following info:
  Service Name: aai-business
  Url: /aai/v13/business
  Protocol: REST
  Enable SSL to True
  Version: v13
  Load balancer: round-robin
  Visualranfe: InSystem
- Add host:
  AAI service ip and port (8443)
Save all

3. SO Database Update

Insert ORCHESTRATION_URI into service_recipe, SERVICE_MODEL_UUID replaced by CST.ModelId.

INSERT INTO `catalogdb`.`service_recipe`(`ACTION`, `VERSION_STR`, `DESCRIPTION`, `ORCHESTRATION_URI`, `SERVICE_PARAM_XSD`, `RECIPE_TIMEOUT`, `SERVICE_TIMEOUT_INTERIM`, `SERVICE_MODEL_UUID`) VALUES ('createInstance', '1', 'Custom recipe to create communication service-instance if no custom BPMN flow is found', '/mso/async/services/CreateCommunicationService', NULL, 180, NULL, 'c9252b26-f9cd-4e6c-988c-4d6ff39c6dda');

4. AAI Configuration

Create customer id :

curl --user AAI:AAI -X PUT -H "X-FromAppId:AAI" -H "X-TransactionId:get_aai_subscr" -H "Accept:application/json" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -k -d '{

"global-customer-id":"5GCustomer",

"subscriber-name":"5GCustomer",

"subscriber-type":"INFRA"

}' "https://<worker-vm-ip>:30233/aai/v21/business/customers/customer/5GCustomer"

Create service type:

curl --user AAI:AAI -X PUT -H "X-FromAppId:AAI" -H "X-TransactionId:get_aai_subscr" -H "Accept:application/json" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -k https://<worker-vm-ip>:30233/aai/v21/business/customers/customer/5GCustomer/service-subscriptions/service-subscription/5G

5. OOF Configuration

OSDF CHANGES(FOR NSI SELECTION)

Refer Optimization Policy Creation Steps for optimization policy creation and deployment steps

Please find the policies for Option1 below, generate the policies outside the OOF pod and push the policies from inside OOF pod, since it has python3 and necessary libraries already installed

Copy the policy files

unzip policies.zip

kubectl cp policies -n onap <oof-pod-name>:/opt/osdf

kubectl exec -ti -n onap <oof-pod-name> bash

cd policies/nsi

python3 policy_utils.py create_policy_types policy_types

6. Internal CORE NSSMF Simulator

Instructions to setup CN NSSMF simulators.

Refer Core NF Simulator setup to setup Core NF Simulator.

7. ACTN Simulator

Refer ACTN Simulator User Guide to setup ACTN-simulator or follow the below steps to launch and initialize domain controllers,

Step 1. Fetch the simulator docker image

First, pull down the simulator image from public docker hub.

docker pull dzhanghuawei/pncsimulator:latest

Step 2. Start the simulator container(s)

After compiling the pnc-simulator image locally or fetching the docker image from remote registry, execute the command below to start the container:

docker run –p 18181:8181 –d –name pncsimu-18181 –t dzhanghuawei/pncsimulator:latest

docker run –p 18182:8181 –d –name pncsimu-18181 –t dzhanghuawei/pncsimulator:latest

For demonstration purposes, two domain controllers are required, in our case we use 18181 as SERVER_PORT for domain1 and 18182 for domain2.

After starting the container, you should be able to verify the running container by:

docker container ps –a | grep pncsimu

Step 3. Initialize the simulator(s)

The simulator offers a set of administrative APIs which are designed for initialization and management purposes.

To initialize the simulator for each domain:

curl –X POST –H "content-type:application/json" http://${SERVER_IP:SERVER_PORT}/pncsimu/v1/reload-data -d @INITIAL_DATA_FILE

For demonstration purposes, two domain controllers are required, both need to be properly launched and initialized. The initialization payloads are attached below.

pnc-init-payload-1

pnc-init-payload-2

ESR Registration using AAI ESR Url:

Once a third-party controller is being registered in ONAP, a "Topology Discovery" operation need be triggered and the domain controller will be called in order to retrieve the topology. SDNC then, will store the topology in AAI. Please execute the below curl command for the ESR registration of initialized two domain controllers,

NOTE: Replace <simulator-ip> and <simulator-port> with the IP Address and port of initialized simulators.

esr_registration

curl -k -X PUT "https://AAI:AAI@<worker-vmIp>:30233/aai/v23/external-system/esr-thirdparty-sdnc-list/esr-thirdparty-sdnc/ff9ef162-951d-4e14-9ce6-b4fa0adf896b" \

8. UUI operations (Creating communication service, Activation)

There are no changes in the UI for the NSMF based TN slices. It is same as the usual operations. The UUI operation details can be found here.
