The SOL002 Adapter addresses VNFC level LCM operations (as an ONAP's Policy execution Actor) and enables ONAP to perform VNFC level application configuration and listening VNFM LCM notifications. Also enables VNFM to subscribe/receive indicator notifications from ONAP.

SOL002 Adapter exposes its East-bound interface to any VNFM Adapter Client. 

  • SOL002 Adapter will be part of GNFC microservices, but the adapter can be invoked through MSB
  • Support secured communication protocol and authentication and authorization via AAF


ETSI-Alignment SOL002 Adapter Use

...

Cases

  • VNF LCM (Ve-Vnfm-em). ONAP as EM role.
  • Application configuration 
    • Option 1: VNFM initiated: Application configuration (Ve-Vnfm-em). ONAP as VNF/EM role.
    • Option 2: Through LCM notifications subscribed with VNF LCM interface, SOL002 Adapter can execute wanted configuration.
  • Enable VNFM to subscribe Indicator notifications through VND indicator interface.
  • Security between Adapter and VNFM (not sol002 adapter alone, but same code/mechanism should be used as other adapters)
  • Application configuration (Ve-Vnfm-vnf). ONAP as VNFM role. (Stretch goal)

    Feature

    Description

    SOL002Adapter introduction

    SOL002 Adapter to execute VNF LCM operations towards VNFM (Ve-Vnfm-em)
    SOL002 Adapter to subscribe VNF LCM notifications from VNFM to enable ONAP operations (VNF configuration, CLoseLoop termination etc.)
    SOL002 Adapter application configuration (Ve-Vnfm-em) by VNFM

    SOL002 Adapter exposes configuration endpoint for external VNFM:

    • SOL002 Adapter performs EM role (Ve-Vnfm-em)
    • VNFM calls SOL002 Adapter configuration API
    • SOL002 Adapter translates the configuration request into APPC/GNFC - specific API-call
    • APPC/GNFC configures specific VNF or VNFC accordingly
    SOL002 Adapter enables VNFM to subscribe VNF indicator notifications by VNFM and send indicator notifications to VNFM (Ve-Vnfm-em)


    SOL002 Adapter application configuration (Ve-Vnfm-vnf)
    (Stretch goal)

    SOL002 Adapter exposes West-bound interface to any ETSI-aligned VNF.

    SOL002 Adapter utilizes configuration call towards ETSI-aligned VNF:

    • SOL002 Adapter performs VNFM role (Ve-Vnfm-vnf)
    • SOL002 Adapter calls VNF's SOL002 configuration API
