Classes from VNF Sub-Model

Vnfd

A Vnfd, or VNF Descriptor, is template which describes a VNF in terms of deployment and operational behaviour requirements. It also contains connectivity, interface and virtualised resource requirements.

Parent class: NetworkFunctionDesc

Attribute Name	Type	Mult.	Stereotypes	Description
vnfProvider	String	1	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Provider of the VNF and of the VNFD.
vnfProductName	String	1	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: true valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Name to identify the VNF Product. Invariant for the VNF Product lifetime.
vnfSoftwareVersion	Version	1	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Software version of the VNF. This is changed when there is any change to the software that is included in the VNF Package.
vnfdVersion	Version	1	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Identifies the version of the VNFD.
vnfProductInfoName	String	0..1	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Human readable name for the VNF Product. Can change during the VNF Product lifetime.
vnfProductInfoDescription	String	0..1	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Human readable description of the VNF Product. Can change during the VNF Product lifetime.
vnfmInfo	String	0..*	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Identifies VNFM(s) compatible with the VNF described in this version of the VNFD. Use 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".
localizationLanguage	String	0..*	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Information about localization languages of the VNF (includes e.g. strings in the VNFD). Refer to ISO936 https://www.iso.org/iso-639-language-codes.html NOTE: This allows to provide one or more localization languages to support selecting a specific localization language at VNF instantiation time.
modifiableAttributes	VnfInfoModifiableAttributes	0..1	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Defines the VNF-specific extension and metadata attributes of the VnfInfo that are writeable via the ModifyVnfInfo operation.
vnfdId	Identifier	1	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: true valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Identifier of this VNFD information element. This attribute shall be globally unique. NOTE: The VNFD Identifier shall be used as the unique identifier of the VNF Package that contains this VNFD. Any modification of the content of the VNFD or the VNF Package shall result in a new VNFD Identifier.
defaultLocalizationLanguage	String	0..1	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: CONDITIONAL_MANDATORY condition:Shall be present if "localizationLanguage" is present and shall be absent otherwise.	Information about localization languages of the VNF (includes e.g. strings in the VNFD). Refer to ISO936 https://www.iso.org/iso-639-language-codes.html NOTE: This allows to provide one or more localization languages to support selecting a specific localization language at VNF instantiation time.
configurableProperties	VnfConfigurableProperties	0..1	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Describes the configurable properties of the VNF (e.g. related to auto scaling and auto healing).

_vnfReservedCpd	VduCpd	0..*	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Reserved IP Address for VNF which is not bounded to any specific VNFC, but assigned manually from outside and potentially shared as a floating IP among VNFCs.
_elementGroup	VnfdElementGroup	0..*	Obsolete OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Describes the associated elements of a VNFD for a certain purpose during VNF lifecycle management.
_swImageDesc	SwImageDesc	0..*	Preliminary OpenModelAttribute isInvariant: false valueRange: no range constraint support: MANDATORY	Defines descriptors of software images to be used by the VNF. NOTE: This shall be used to describe both the software image loaded on the virtualization container used to realize a VDU and the software images to be stored on VirtualStorage resources (e.g., volumes) attached to a virtualization container.

Vdu

The Virtualisation Deployment Unit (VDU) is a construct supporting the description of the deployment and operational behavior of a VNFC. A VNFC instance created based on the VDU maps to a single virtualisation container (e.g. a VM). A VNFC will only be in one VNFDesc. If a vendor wants to use the VNFC in mupliple VNFDesc (their product) they can do so, but it will be 'repeated'.
