In this tutorial we show how to take a service design that has been distributed and create a running instance of the service. 

Notice the service you created in VID

Image Added

To simplify this we are going to use scripts (with some selenium robot scripts) to create the design, pre-load customer and network information, and orchestrate parts of the virtual firewall closed loop example.  The following steps assume that you have completed and understand basic concepts from the setting up the platform and using the portal tutorials. 

...

Note: The current default LCP Region is IAD - to use DFW switch the example zip in the last section .- currently though we have hardcoding that must be fixed:

If you want to see the details of what ran, you can open report.html in a browser. (located within openecompete_container docker container)

From the ONAP portal, login to the VID application using demo user, browse to locate the demo SDC Service Models, and Deploy an instance of the service you created - not the pre-populated demoVFW.

(Note: service - is the one you created deploy your "service" above - not demoVFW or demoVLB - these 2 are leftover pre-population artifacts of the init script and will be removed)

Fill in the information (Instance Name=DemoInstance, Demonstration, vFW) for a Service Instance as shown below and press Confirm.

Wait for a response and close the window

You should now see a service instance displayed.

Add a VNF using the drop down button, complete, and enter the following information.   The tenant and LCP region drop down choices may be different for your Rackspace account.  Both IAD and DFW support heat templates - but currently only IAD is supported in this demo until

Wait for and close the response window.

Return to the PuTTY window and type the command to load VNF configuration information

Add a VF Module using the drop down button.

Fill in information for the VF module (service name = Service) and confirm.

Watch as the 3 VMs for the VF start to come up on Rackspace (dialog is still up)

Image Added

Eventually you will see a (red-herring) poll timeout - we need to adjust the wait time and # of retries here - anyway the 3 VM's are up (with pings but not necessarily with 200 health checks on the processes)

Select close, and later cancel (for now) - as the VMs are actually up

Browse our new vFW service

Wait for the response and close the window as was done in prior steps.    The VF Module creation can also be viewed as a stack in Rackspace as shown below.Image Removed

To complete the service instance we will run one more script that mounts the Traffic Generator on the Application Controller to enable policy driven configuration changes.   Return to the PuTTY window, type the command and wait for the response as shown below.

The platform and virtual function interactions in the control loop are summarized here.

Error Handling

Handle MSO Failure on RAM Quota exceeded

A default rackspace account is only allocated 128G but we will require 

      "requestState": "FAILED",
      "statusMessage": "Received vfModuleException from VnfAdapter: category='INTERNAL' message='Exception during create VF 0 : Stack error (CREATE_FAILED):

Handle MSO Failure on Create VF Module

Update: 20170523: looks like the template defaults are not being modified - and pass through

...

The openstack tenant also happens to have other instances of the VNF that look like they are causing a port resource contention - clean/reset your VM's for now.
