Dear Jimmy, Andy and Kevin<https://wiki.onap.org/display/~ks0567>,
As discussed in the modeling call, there’re several questions regarding the
resource IM that need to be answered. Please find them below:
To Andy & Kevin,
1) Regarding the design time model (the figure shows the relationship
between ServiceDesc, ServiceComponentDesc, ResourceCatalogItem, VNFDesc and
VNFCDesc), the AID document states that "a service component has a zero to many
relationship to service while the vnf component has is related to exactly one
vnf". What's the case for a service component to have zero relationship to
service? Does it imply that a service component can exist alone (without being
involved in a service) in design time?
2) Regarding the vNF deployment diagram figure (the run time model):
a) It seems it’s not updated like the design time model, do you have any
plan to align it to the design time model?
b) For the current figure, we want to know the answers for:
i. What's the relationship between
VNFC instance and VNF module? What's the usage of VNF module?
ii. Why does network only associate
with the VM, but not with Docker/LXC? Why is the cardinality 1:1?
iii. Why does storage have no
association with VNFC instance?
iv. Why does VNFImage have 1:1
association with VNF instance, instead of VNFC instance?
v. No model for network port?
To Jimmy,
First thank you and Pamela for the comments you provided last time, I
updated several questions afterwards, shown below:
1) Is the orchestration-status of the VNFC similar to the vnfcState defined
in ETSI? (vnfcState describes the state of a VNFC instance, possible values
are: STARTED, STOPPED. STARTED means the VNFC instance is up and running, and
STOPPED means the VNFC instance has been shut down (but not
terminated/deleted). Similar to the VM power on/off concept)
2) Please clarify more on the operational-status of VNF, are the valid
values “in-service-path” and “out-of-service-path”? and what do they mean?
3) Orchestration-status of the VNF is also not clear to us, could you
elaborate more on the usage of it? For example, the valid values?
Thank you all for the help!
Best regards,
Xu
