    Fernando OliveiraByung-Woo Jun I suggest to extract SOL005 Adapter from SO in Frankfurt. This will make possible direct communication SDC → SOL005 Adapter → NFVO for package management, skipping SO.

  2. Byung-Woo Jun

    Katsia Kazak are you suggesting we remove the SOL005 Adapter from SO? What is the rationale for this? 

    By looking at the current SOL005 Adapter architecture, the SOL005 Adapter is an extension of SO VFC adapter. If we extract the SOL005 Adapter, where do we put the Adapter? 

    The second question about the package management... It seems that you are suggesting the SOL005 Adapter gets the package from SDC, not from the runtime component.

    1. Fernando Oliveira

      Katsia Kazak Would exposing the SOL005 adapter's NBI satisfy your use case for having SDC directly pass packages to an external NFVO?  This would require that SDC develop a consumer of that NBI.

      We plan to enhance the SOL005 adapter beyond package management to support Network Service LCM, configuration, LCN, Fault Management and Performance Management so that SO can act as a OSS with an external NFVO.  While it is possible to extract the SOL005 Adapter from SO, much of the interface will be very intimate with the behavior of the SO which would make the NBI very complicated.

      1. Katsia Kazak

        Byung-Woo Jun It depends. I would like to see SOL005 adapter fully independent from SO component. Looking at your comment (last question) on the page ETSI Package Management , I assumed that you and community have the same vision. But now I see that its different (smile)

        1. Currently SOL005 adapter is dependant on Catalog DB and Request DB, what for are SO catalogues needed?
        2. Ok, I understand that you want to enhance SOL005 beyond management support. But why do you need SO for that?
        3. Which faults/performance/lifecycle notifications/metrics are you planning send to NFVO? Is it something more than can be found in Dmaap topics from VES events or AAI?

    user-827d7 , I read the linked SOL005 Adapter architecture section. In the sequence diagram, there is a step, "store CSAR detail". I asked the author to elaborate the step to understand how the SOL005 Adapter handles ETSI packages. Could you share your insight?

  4. Byung-Woo Jun

    I created the above diagram which indicates where the SOL005 Adapter gets ETSI packages from the ONAP-ETSI Catalog Manager. The Catalog Manager will store NS/VNF (possibly PNF) and Software Images and provide APIs for the SOL005/SOL003 Adapters.
