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.
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)
