HTTP Method Type: POST
VNFM Endpoint: /vnf_instances/{vnfInstanceId}/terminate
Request Payload: TerminateVnfRequest
Response Header: 202 success
Response Body: not applicable
- Design
- VNF precondition = INSTANTIATED state
- After the operation, VNF state = NOT_INSTANTIATED
- VNFM Adapter sends a POST request to the Task resource that represents the lifecycle operation to be executed on the VNF instance, and includes in the payload body a data structure of type TerminateVNFRequest (VNFM Adapter → VNFM); POST ../vnf_instances/{vnfInstanceId}/terminate
- VNFM Creates a "VNF LCM operation occurrence" resource for the request (VNFM → VNFM Adapter)
- VNFM returns a "202 Accepted" response with an empty payload body and a "Location" HTTP header that points to the new "VNF LCM operation occurrence" resource (VNFM → VNFM Adapter); .../vnf_lcm_op_occs/{vnfLcmOpOccId}
- VNFM sends to the VNFM Adapter a VNF lifecycle management operation occurrence notification to indicate the start of the lifecycle management operation occurrence with the "STARTING" state
- VNFM and VNFM Adapter exchange granting information (see Granting section)
- VNFM sends to the VNFM Adapter a VNF lifecycle management operation occurrence notification to indicate that the VNF LCM operation occurrence enters the "PROCESSING" state
- VNFM Adapter polls the "VNF LCM operation occurrence" resource to obtain information about the ongoing operation by sending a GET request to the resource that represents the VNF LCM operation occurrence.
- VNFM returns to the VNFM Adapter information of the operation, such as the operation status, by providing in the payload body a data structure of type "VnfLcmOpOcc"
- VNFM has finished the operation <<Operation>>
- VNFM sends a VNF lifecycle management operation occurrence notification to VNFM Adapter to indicate the completion of the lifecycle management operation occurrence with the success state "COMPLETED"
- Note: its communication exchange pattern is the same as the Instantiate VNF.
