- SOL002Adapter subscribes in it's startup notifications from external VNFM. Filter used can be wide i.e. all notifications.
- When adapter get's success for subscription request it starts to listen notifications. If subscription fails, adapter continues to try again forever with suitable interval.
- When something happens (e.g. VNF instantiated), external VNFM sends notification
- Query AAI for VNF details. GET query to MANO may also be needed if vnfIds in systems are not same. (Optional step, needed if model translation needed)
- SOL002Adapter makes necessary translation from ETSI model to ONAP model. To be checked details of translation or if translation even needed. Depends on SOL003 integration.
- Agreed (to be agreed message format and fields) message format of LCM notification is posted to DMaaP
- Consume LCM notification
- If Operational Policy reacting to LCM notifications is created as part of normal VNF modeling/instantiation, then user's policy is run. It's up to user's policy what it does and following steps is an example for configuring a VNF with ONAP controller.
- Execute policy action towards actor (through DMaaP or directly)
