Use Cases
To manage vendor-provided VNFs and VIMs, ONAP wants to leverage the vendor-supplied VNFMs.
The SOL002 Adapter addresses VNFC level LCM operations (as an ONAP's Policy execution Actor) and enables ONAP to perform VNFC level application configuration and listening VNFM LCM notifications. Also enables VNFM to subscribe/receive indicator notifications from ONAP.
SOL002 Adapter exposes its East-bound interface to any VNFM Adapter Client.
- SOL002 Adapter will be part of GNFC microservices, but the adapter can be invoked through MSB
- Support secured communication protocol and authentication and authorization via AAF
ETSI-Alignment SOL002 Adapter Use Cases
- VNF LCM (Ve-Vnfm-em). ONAP as EM role.
- Application configuration
- Option 1: VNFM initiated: Application configuration (Ve-Vnfm-em). ONAP as EM role.
- Option 2: Through LCM notifications subscribed with VNF LCM interface, SOL002 Adapter can execute wanted configuration.
- Enable VNFM to subscribe Indicator notifications through VND indicator interface.
- Security between Adapter and VNFM (not sol002 adapter alone, but same code/mechanism should be used as other adapters)
- Application configuration (Ve-Vnfm-vnf). ONAP as VNFM role. (Stretch goal)
