ONAP Dublin Release: PNF Pre-Onboarding and Onboarding Use Cases

This document provides insights into the PNF pre-onboarding and onboarding use cases in the ONAP Dublin Release. It covers topics such as PNF definition at design time, instantiation in ONAP at run time, and the processes involved in onboarding a PNF vendor archive. The use cases highlight the alignment with VNF package pre-onboarding, vendor-provided PNFD, and the support of PNF definition through ONAP SDC. Impacted components per use case are also discussed.

1. PNF Pre Onboarding and Onboarding Use Cases in ONAP Dublin Release Ericsson, Michela Bevilacqua 2018/11/15

2. Background: PNF Plug and Play in Casablanca Release This use case covers in Casablanca: - PNF definition at design time - PNF instantiation in ONAP at run time (including initial configuration). This use case today does not cover the PNF onboarding - The onboarding process of a vendor PNF archive including a PNF descriptor and a set of artifacts.

3. UCs for Dublin Release PNF Pre-Onboarding Use Case: - PNF package/archive shall be pre-onboarded and verified by VNF SDK tools - This UC shall be aligned as much as possible to the ONAP VNF package pre-onboarding UC - PNF archive is provided by a vendor and it will include PNFD (based on ETSI SOL004) and all the artifacts required by ONAP (non ETSI NFV artifact provided managed as Non-MANO artifact (i.e. FM and PM dictionary) PNF Onboarding Use Case: - PNF archive can be onboarded through ONAP - ONAP SDC shall also continue to support PNF definition by UI as in Casablanca Release

4. Impacted components per UC PNF pre-onboarding UC: - VNF SDK: Agree the list of artifacts provided by a vendor in Dublin timeframe, approve the format of Non-MANO artifacts Evaluate any impact in order to support Non-MANO artifacts in a Package PNF Onboarding UC : - Onboarding Data Model definition - SDC: Enable PNF package and TOSCA descriptor onboarding to be used also for vCPE UC Additional Non-MANO artifact onboarding and distribution
