ONAP Dublin Deployment Components necessary for the vFW & VLB use case with CDS:

In order to run the VLB with CDS use case, we need an ONAP Dublin Release instance that includes the following components::

ONAP Component NameDescription 
A&AIRequired for Inventory Cloud Owner, Customer, Owning Entity, Service, Generic VNF, VF Module

SDC

VSP , VF, and Service Modeling of the VLB
DMAAPDistribution of the CSAR to all ONAP components 
SORequires for Macro Orchestration using the generic building blocks

SDNC needs to include:

  • CDS UI mS
  • CDS Blueprint Processor mS
  • CDS Controller Blueprint mS
  • Netbox
  • Naming Generation mS
Used for ONAP E2E Zero Touch Declarative Provisioning & Configuration Management for VNF/CNF/PNF.
PolicyUsed to Store Naming Policy 
VID Used for User Interface for Run Time Execution of the Marco Instantiation flow. 
AAFUsed for Authentication and Authorization of requests
PortalUsed for accessing the ONAP Components GUI like SDC, VID, etc ...
RobotUsed for running automated tasks, like provisioning cloud customer, cloud region, service subscription, etc ...
Shared Cassandra DBUsed as a shared storage for ONAP components that rely on Cassandra DB, like AAI
Shared Maria DBUsed as a shared storage for ONAP components that rely on Maria DB, like SDNC, and SO

ONAP Deployment Guide:

In order to deploy such an instance, we can follow the ONAP deployment guide in this link: https://docs.onap.org/en/elalto/submodules/oom.git/docs/oom_quickstart_guide.html#quick-start-label

As we can see from the guide, we can use an override file that helps us customize our ONAP deployment, without modifying the OOM Folder, so you can download this override file here, that includes the necessary components mentioned above.

As we can see in the override.yaml file above, we can enable or disable the deployment of a specific ONAP component, and in our case, we enabled only the necessary components to run the VLB demo.

We can also see that we can configure the parameters needed for the use case to run, like OpenStack Username, Passowrd, Region, Tenant, Image Names, and Flavors.

We have also enable "PreloadPolicies", so that the Naming Policy is deployed when ONAP POLICY components starts.

Post Deployment:

After completing the first part above, we should have a functional ONAP deployment for the Dublin Release.

We will need to apply a few modifications to the deployed ONAP Dublin instance in order to run the VLB use case:

Initialize cloud account:

Our use case will need a customer, service subscription, cloud-region, tenant, and complex.

We can initialize this information by running the robot script "./demo-k8s.sh onap init_customer".

SO Orchestration Transition Table Updates:

INSERT INTO `catalogdb`.`orchestration_status_state_transition_directive` (`RESOURCE_TYPE`, `ORCHESTRATION_STATUS`, `TARGET_ACTION`, `FLOW_DIRECTIVE`) 
VALUES 
('VNF', 'CONFIGURED', 'ACTIVATE', 'CONTINUE');

Retry for ConfigDeployVnfBB:

The vLB VM will download source code and will build the netconf simulator that will receive the configuration updates from CDS. This process might take more than 5 minutes.

Due to a default 5 minute timeout value in Camunda BPMN Execution Engine, this means the ConfigDeployVnfBB might fail, which will break the E2E automation of the instantiation.

Thus, we need to tell SO that if ConfigDeployVnfBB fails, it should retry ConfigDeployVnfBB.

We can do this by adding an entry in the SO CATALOG DB rainy_day_handler_macro table, as shown below:

We can do this by connecting to the SO CATALOG DB, and running the following SQL command:

update rainy_day_handler_macro
INSERT INTO rainy_day_handler_macro (FLOW_NAME, SERVICE_TYPE, VNF_TYPE, ERROR_CODE, WORK_STEP, POLICY, SECONDARY_POLICY)
VALUES
('ConfigDeployVnfBB', '*', '*', '*', '*' , 'Retry', 'Abort');

Also, in order to allow SO to retry the ConfigDeployVnfBB if it fails the 1st time, we can update the override.yaml file for the SO BPMN INFRA chart in OOM like below:

override.yaml for so-bpmn-infra chart
mso:
  rainyDay:
    retryDurationMultiplier: 2
    maxRetries: 5

Naming Policy:

The override.yaml file above has an option "preload=true", that will tell the POLICY component to run the push_policies.sh script as the POLICY PAP pod starts up, which will in turn create the Naming Policy and push it.

To check that the naming policy is created and pushed OK, we can run the commands below.

SDNC Naming policy
bash-4.4$ curl -k --silent -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'ClientAuth: cHl0aG9uOnRlc3Q=' --header 'Authoment: TEST' -d '{ "policyName": "SDNC_Policy.Config_MS_ONAP_VNF_NAMING_TIMESTAMP.1.xml"}' 'https://pdp:8081/pdp/api/getConfig'

In case the policy is missing, we can manually create and push the SDNC Naming policy. E2E Automation vLB w/ CDS Use Case - ONAP-02-Design Time (El Alto)#1091812835
