ETSI MANO and ONAP ETSI Alignment Landscape 

As part of aligning ONAP to ETSI MANO, ONAP supports ETSI standards for packaging, operations and monitoring for managing VNF, PNF and NS.

  • For packaging, the SOL004 standard is used for VNF and PNF, the SOL007 standard is used for NS
  • Use of the SO007 standard for NS packages is under discussion. 
  • VNF, PNF and NS will be described by SOL001 standard.
  • For VNF LCM, Package Management, LCM operations and Monitoring, SOL003 standard is used.
  • For NS LCM and Package Management, LCM operations and Monitoring, SOL005 standard is used.
  • For EM triggered scenarios (LCM, Fault, Performance, Configuration), SOL002 standard is used.

The following diagram depicts the relationship between ETSI MANO and ONAP ETSI Alignment.

    • ONAP shall support a SOL003 compliant SBI to plug in external VNFM (SO, SOL003 Adapter, VF-C)

    • ONAP shall have a way to inventory a VNF that was deployed using an external VNFM (SO, A&AI)
  • External NFVO scenarios :
    • ONAP shall ingest and save (without modification) a SOL007 Network Service Package. (VNFSDK, SDC) for later consumption by a SOL005 compliant NFVO

    • ONAP shall ingest and save (without modification) a SOL004 CSAR package for later consumption by a SOL003 compliant NFVO (VNFSDK, SDC, ONAP-ETSI Catalog Manager)
    • ONAP shall ingest and interpret a SOL001 compliant NSD/PNFD in order to design an ONAP Service (VNFSDK, SDC)
    • ONAP shall be able to convert an ONAP Service into a SOL001 compliant NSD (SOL005 Adapter)
    • ONAP shall have a SOL005 compliant SBI (SO, SOL005 Adapter, VF-C, External NFVO)
    • ONAP shall have a mechanism for specifying that a Service should be runtime managed SO, VF-C or external NFVO (SDC, SO)
    • ONAP shall have a way to inventory a Service that was deployed as a Network Service using an external NFVO (SO, A&AI)
    • ONAP shall be able to design a Service that includes some VNFs and some hierarchy (nested) of Services (NSs) (SDC)
    • ONAP shall have a way to Deploy and Life Cycle Manage a Service that includes some VNFs and some hierarchy of Services (NSs) (SO, A&AI, SND-C, SOL003 & SOL005 Adapters)
  • ONAP shall support: 1) VNFM-triggered VNF Configuration, 2) EM-triggered VNF/VNFC LCM and 3) VNF Indicator Interface, based on SOL002 standard (SOL002 Adapter, APPC, DCAE, Policy)

Open Issues

  • Mapping between SOL001 VNFD to SDC AID DM, including ScalingAspect+Delta and VF-Module - Not all VNFD needs to be transformed to the SDC AID DM
  • How does ONAP support vendor-specific SVNFM security (authentication/authorization)?
  • SOL007 (NS package) support is under discussion
  • Certificate generation and distribution by AAF
  • SOL005 Adapter requirements for the ONAP-ETSI Catalog Manager
  • Where (SOL003 Adapter, or SO NFVO) do we support VNF software image transfer to VIM?
    • ONAP-ETSI Catalog Manager stores the software image and forwards it to VIM through the Adapter and VNFM.
