Hi Marco,

I would like to rephrase one of Bharath’s question :

Assuming vLB and vDNS are in same private network, why do we need VPP in
middle? Can clients directly contact vLB inorder to reach vDNS, which then
gets scaled based on policy?

BR,
Viswa

team invalidates using floating ip in heat template.

PING and SSH don’t work, but VPP will accept nslookup requests on eth0 from
an external VM and use eth1 to forward those requests to one or more vDNS.
We didn’t test the vLB with floating IPs though. I remember that the
configuration currently in place couldn’t work straight away with floating
IPs, so for the moment we abandoned that path. As for the vDNS not
connected to the vLB, try to see if Java is downloaded and installed
correctly, and if dnsmembership.sh and dns_client.sh in vLB and vDNS VMs,
respectively, are running. These scripts launch a service that vLB and vDNS
use to discover each other via the ONAP OAM network.

that?

ONAP code currently in the master branch is supposed to support vFW/vLB
demos in vanilla OpenStack, although the code is being tested right now.
Some issue is preventing the closed loop to work correctly. If you want to
test the closed loop in OpenStack, you may consider to install ONAP 1.0.0
plus DCAE 1.1.0 and MSO 1.1.0 in O
