Yes

Support for onboarding ETSI v3.3.1SOL004 1 SOL004 VNF CSAR Packages with minimum CNF enhancements from 4.1.1

• SDC users need to onboard ETSI v3.3.1 SOL004 VNF CSAR Packages with minimum CNF enhancements from 4.1.1
• SDC users should be also able to onboard the existing ETSI v2.6.1 SOL004 CSAR packages - one level backward compatibility needs to be supported
• For backward compatibility support, SDC needs to check the package manifest file and metadata such as "compatible_specifcation_versions".
  • If it is 3.3.1+, SDC needs to follow a new onboarding path for the ETSI 3.3.1 version package.
  • If the version is prior to 3.3.1, SDC follows the existing 2.x onboarding path. 
• The package version and its descriptor version should match.

Support for onboarding ETSI v3.3.1 SOL001 VNF Descriptors 

• SDC users need to onboard ETSI v3.3.1 SOL001 VNF Descriptors
• SDC users should be also able to onboard the existing ETSI v2.6.1/v2.5.1 SOL001 VNF Descriptors - one level backward compatibility needs to be supported
• For backward compatibility support, SDC needs to recognize the properties changes (e.g., VNFD_SCHEMA_VERSION) for the Version indication. 
• SDC uses a separate onboarding process depending on the version.

SDC users need to onboard ETSI 3.3.1 with custom enhancements (Note: 4.1.1 is not stable now, but minimum CNF enhancements from 4.1.1 will be used in Honolulu)...

• SDC needs to support new CNF properties / classes / schema / data models based on defined Information Models
• SDC may use a separate onboarding process for CNF
• No backward compatibility for CNF support is necessary

Support for mapping of ETSI v3.3.1 SOL001 VNF Descriptor into SDC AID Data Model

Once SDC onboards an ETSI v3.3.1 SOL001 VNF Descriptor, SDC needs to map the ETSI v3.3.1 SOL001 VNF Descriptor into SDC AID Data Model

• No backward compatibility ; SDC supports only ETSI 3.3.1 VNFD mapping to SDC AID DM

VNF Mapping:

• Define a new data type based on the org.openecomp.resource.abstract.nodes.VF with ETSI SOL001 VNF data type attributes.

  • Make the org.openecomp.resource.abstract.nodes.ETSI.VNF a superset of both tosca.nodes.nfv.VNF and org.openecomp.resource.abstract.node.VF
  • During VNF onboarding, SDC copies SOL001 VNF attribute contents to the corresponding attributes in the org.openecomp.resource.abstract.nodes.ETSI.VNF
    • In Guilin, SO NFVO, VFC and SVNFM get those SOL001 VNF attributes from the descriptor, not from AAI. So, AAI schema changes are not expected in Guilin.
  • SOL001 VNF attributes in SDC AID DM VNF will be visible to SDC UI, so SDC UI can change the attributes.
    • But the onboarded vendor ETSI package will note be changed by the SDC UI users in Guilin.
    • Since SO NFVO, VFC and SVNFM use only the original ETSI package, those changes will not be used in Guilin;
    • For the Honolulu release, it is under consideration
      • to sync up between those modified SOL001 VNF attributes and the vendor ETSI Package attributes 
      • to reflect those modified SOL001 VNF attributes in the orchestration
  • ONAP specific attributes that are inherited from the org.openecomp.resource.abstract.nodes.VF will be filled up by SDC (design time)
    • Those attribute contents will not be mapped back into the SOL001 VNF (reverse mapping). For that case, only the SOL001 VNF corresponding attributes will be copied

VDU Mapping:

• Make the org.openecomp.resource.abstract.nodes.ETSI.VFC a superset of both tosca.nodes.nfv.Vdu and org.openecomp.resource.abstract.nodes.VFC
• Note: the org.openecomp.resource.abstract.nodes.VFC represents design-time VFC, not VFC instances
• During VNF onboarding, SDC copies SOL001 VDU attribute contents to the corresponding attributes in the org.openecomp.resource.abstract.nodes.ETSI.VFC
  • In Guilin, SO NFVO, VFC and SVNFM get those SOL001 VDU attributes from the descriptor, not from AAI. So, AAI schema changes are not expected in Guilin.
• SOL001 VDU attributes in SDC AID DM VNF will be visible to SDC UI, so SDC UI can change the attributes.
  • But the onboarded vendor ETSI package will note be changed by the SDC UI users in Guilin.
  • Since SO NFVO, VFC and SVNFM use only the original ETSI package, those changes will not be used in Guilin;
  • For the Honolulu release, it is under consideration
    • to sync up between those modified SOL001 VDU attributes and the vendor ETSI Package attributes 
    • to reflect those modified SOL001 VDU / VFC attributes in the orchestration

VF-Module Mapping:

• SDC deduces the VF-Module from the SOL001 VNFD Policies>scaling_aspects>properties>aspects
• Additional VF-Module attributes are deduced as the following table
• SOL003 Adapter may need to transform the VF-Module back to the SOL001 VNFD policies for the scaling and healing requests from VNFM(s)

SDC supports Interface mapping to SDC AID DM for creating Service and connect VNF to external networking, etc. ... TBD

for capacity and requirements, we need to investigate how SDC / ONAP uses... TBD

Once SDC onboards an ETSI v3.3.1 SOL001 VNF Descriptor with CNF enhancements, SDC needs to map the ETSI v3.3.1 SOL001 VNF Descriptor with minimum CNF enhancements from 4.1.1 into SDC AID Data Model

• SDC supports VDU mapping for osContainer to SDC AID DM
  • create a new NF type for CNF
• SDC supports virtualCPD, MCIOP, Helm Chart...
• note: need to discuss with the non-ETSI team for compatibility
  • try to have unified modeling between non-ETSI and ETS-based CNF modeling... To discuss with SO team...

SDC users should be able to edit onboarded ETSI v3.3.1 SOL001 VNF Descriptors

• no backward compatibility is necessary
• SDC supports value changes and also adding properties

Note: should we reflect the changes to original vendor packages in ETSI_PACKAGE directory??? need to think about impact... SDC generates a new digital signature for the package and distributes it to ETSI Catalog Manager.

Design ETSI SOL007 compliant Network Service Descriptor packages
