Introduction/Background:

As part of Core NF Simulators setup, here is the link which gives the design time insights of Core NF Simulator for reference (Core-NF-Simulator).

Prerequisites:

1. Core NF Simulator uses VES-evelJavaLibrary to send FileReady notification event to VES-Collector. VES-agent communicates to collector by HTTP only, So in your ONAP environment, one have to enable HTTP connection for VES-collector by running the mentioned as below(reference link https://docs.onap.org/projects/onap-dcaegen2/en/frankfurt/sections/services/ves-http/installation.html):-
   • Execute into Bootstrap POD using kubectl command, then VES blueprint is available under /blueprints directory k8s-ves.yaml. A corresponding input files is also pre-loaded into bootstrap pod under /inputs/k8s-ves-inputs.yaml
   • Deploy blueprint
     • $ >> cfy install -b ves-http -d ves-http -i /inputs/k8s-ves-inputs.yaml /blueprints/k8s-ves.yaml
   • To undeploy ves-http, steps are noted below,
     • $ >> cfy uninstall ves-http

Deployment Options:

Core NF Simulators (AMF/SMF/UPF) can be deployed in two ways,

1. By using the same 5GC instantiation process (5GC Instantiation and Modify Config flow through CDS) by modifying some minimal parameters in those Simulator Helm Charts related to Docker images and adding config info about the DCAE Collector IP and port.
2. Creating the Core NF Simulators as CNF instance with the updated CBA package (i.e. in 5GC Instantiation and Modify config time CBA is updated with some slice profile information)

Note :- No much difference in both the ways when once come to the simulator implementation, basically the 5GC instances (5GC Instantiation and Modify Config flow through CDS ) doesn't contain the slice profile information in the CBA package and some config information about DCAE. In the second approach you had an updated CBA with slice-profile information and required DCAE config data for simulators.
