• • Vendor SVNFM must be "SOL003-compliant"
  • Providing SOL003 APIs for VNFM LCM, based on ETSI VNFLifecycleManagement
    • Use https://forge.etsi.org/gitlab/nfv/SOL002-SOL003/2.5.1/master/src/SOL003/VNFLifecycleManagement swagger for providing services
    • Create
    • Instantiate
    • Query
    • Grant request to SO VNFM Adapter, as a client
  • Registration itself to ONAP (thru A&AI ESR) - Name, Type, Vendor, Version, URL, VIM, Username and Password
  • Providing Subscription Services for Life-cycle Management Notifications
  • Support of the "Direct Mode" of Resource Management only
    • After receiving a grant permission, the VNFM sends requests for resources directly to VIM
    • Invoking MultiCloud from VNFM is under discussion
    • The "Indirect Mode" of Resource Management is being discussed, but not for Dublin

• VNFM Adapter Component Architecture

• • The following diagram depicts the component architecture.
  • The VNFM Adapter will be a SO sub-component; packaged as a docker and running in a container.

• SOL001/SOL004 Support & Design

• • CSAR Import, Store and Retrieve Sequences 

• 1. SO SDC Controller gets a SOL004 VNF package with an SOL001 VNFD
  2. SO SDC Controller stores a VNF CSAR file reference to the SO Catalog DB (e.g., TOSCA_CSAR database table)
  3. VNFM Adapter gets a CSAR package URL from the SO TOSCA_CSAR database table
  4. VNFM Adapter gets an original CSAR package file from the SDC repository
     1. It is assumed that the Adapter retrieves the original vendor provided CSAR package from SDC repository directory before it passes the package to SVNFM, where SVNFM handles the original CSAR. For that, SDC copy the full original package.
     2. There would be two CSAR packages for a service: one original package, one SDC transformed package.
     3. VNFM Adapter passes the original CSAR package to SVNFM because the SVNFM is outside of ONAP and is designed to handle the vendor CSAR package.

Note: SO future release could consider SOL001/SOL004 internal representation in its Catalog DB, or using the Run-time Catalog DB
