R7 Guilin Content / requirements | Requests for R7 Requirements are up. Guilin release - functional requirements proposed list Timeline - Sign-off for R6 is May 7. Historically M0 kickoff for R7 is May 7th PROPOSALS FOR R7 GUILIN FOR WHAT WE PLAN TO BE DOING IN R7:
SUMMARY OF THE STEPS FOR RTCDB "HOW IT OPERATES" (Reference):
A&AI FLOWS: STEP 1...6: Initial A&AI setup of DB (the setup of the DB with the initial set of all xNFs a "getall") STEP 1...6: A&AI Update (e.g. a new xNF is added or deleted)

| State Management | Bruno Sakoto - Listen to Recording from Question from Samuli Silvius - State Management was interesting could we get the basic arch picture and def lines of description? Having references e.g. to A&AI is better solution than planned C&PS to copy inventory data ANSWER: We are going to prepare a public page and share with you. | ||||||||||||||||
| Cell Introduction | Michela Bevilacqua - Introduction of a Cell Slides from SON Use Case - How do we think of LCM of a Cell from SON PoV & C&PS PoV. How will a cell be managed? a new cell is provisioned from a CU/DU. a "read" operation that a cell exists. CELL is a LOGICAL ENTITY ... Should a cell be seen xNF (PNF, VNF, ANF) How could ONAP discover there is a cell? does it need to be on-boarded? when creating a service, do you need to create a cell? with resources, will you also have a cell instance? today when we have a PNF we onboard the PNF package, create res descriptor & service descriptor containing the resource descr; done for any xNF. package is distributed at run time. Yang model for CU/DU has notion of Cell. process to sync up, discovering whether there is a new cell. OOF / SON / PCI - Need know about existence of a Cell. In that U/C "yes we need to know the cell, we assume that info is in C&PS" two kinds of errors - #1 go to config a cell "i don't have this cell" - #2 new cell exists and ONAP doesn't know about it. sync mechanism. What is the relation to C&PS, how could cell info be updated? Onboarding a xNF, when the xNF instance, the configuration mechanism you can get info about cells associated with a xNF. Cell is a service? that configures xNFs. |
PROJECT NAME DISCUSSION
| TOPIC | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Renaming the Project | RENAMING THE PROJECT ("Service" vs "Database") Database #1 HISTORICAL PRECEDENCE - The original idea was a configuration database available at Runtime. Use cases to store. Historical been with the project since the beginning. Name Inertia. Operators will use. Historical precedence within AT&T. SON & Slicing depend on this project (scope) #2 Contents that it holds - Contents is configuration parameters from the network. Name reflects the initial content of database. Service Since working on project proposal, it has grown, the same argument works against use. #1 QUALIFIERS - A wide variety of qualifiers could be put there and it still won't cover. Would move to something more abstract. Abose and beyond a standard IT database. For example service information, policy information, CLAMP information, exo-inventory (information outside of A&AI), topology information, application information - it is conceivable that many other types of information could before. Config if someone wants to add additional information a place to hold information. e.g. in Bell Canada's case they store more than just configuration, the Operational Data & Current state of network. Collectors that gather metrics in VES consumed put in stateDB. Tied to inventory objects in A&AI self-link from A&AI want to know about interface PNF trying to keep two together, the configuration & the metrics representative what is currently happening in the network. state of I/F being up-down that's more of a state vs a configuration. OpenDaylight Operational data store. Scalability. Collectors & StateDB is yang-driven if collector follows yang-model data store can hold-values. Monitoring interface track as state. #2 Confederation of Databases - Core/Edge/Far Edge - Historical DB - current DB #3 MEANS VS ENDS - Database is a "means" technology not an "end" goal An engine, hubcap is a part of a automobile that provides a service: vehicular motion. A database is a specific technology and implementation. Requirements around for current data & historical (temporal) careful not to talk about the technology. Potentially more than one database. Data Persistency Service → "functional" / Zu Tony Ben Configuration & Persistency Service / Joanne Tony Ben Operational Persistency Service / Bruno Tony Ben Run-Time Configuration DataBase → "technology" State (of Network) Database → what is state of network (storing more than just config) Configuration Operations Database (C.Op.DB) / Swami Golden Configuration Database / Fred (RunTime)(Operational)(Persistency) Policy Topology State Network Configuration Service Exo-Inventory Database |
