Registering default OpenStack VIM --------------------------------- #. Get one account on the OpenStack VIM In Tacker MANO system, VNFs can be on-boarded to a target OpenStack which is also called as VIM. Get one account on your OpenStack, such as ``admin`` if you deploy your OpenStack via devstack. Here is an example of a user named as ``nfv_user`` and has a project ``nfv`` on OpenStack for VIM configuration. It is described in ``vim_config.yaml`` [1]_: .. literalinclude:: ../../../samples/vim/vim_config.yaml :language: yaml .. note:: In Keystone, port ``5000`` is enabled for authentication service [2]_, so the end users can use ``auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v3'`` instead of ``auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1/identity'`` as above mention. By default, ``cert_verify`` is set as ``True``. To disable verifying SSL certificate, user can set ``cert_verifyi`` parameter to ``False``. #. Register VIM Register the default VIM with the config file for VNF deployment. This will be required when the optional argument ``--vim-id`` is not provided by the user during VNF creation. .. code-block:: console $ openstack vim register --config-file vim_config.yaml \ --description 'my first vim' --is-default hellovim Onboarding sample VNF --------------------- #. Create a ``sample-vnfd.yaml`` file with the following template .. code-block:: yaml tosca_definitions_version: tosca_simple_profile_for_nfv_1_0_0 description: Demo example metadata: template_name: sample-tosca-vnfd topology_template: node_templates: VDU1: type: tosca.nodes.nfv.VDU.Tacker capabilities: nfv_compute: properties: num_cpus: 1 mem_size: 512 MB disk_size: 1 GB properties: image: cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk availability_zone: nova mgmt_driver: noop config: | param0: key1 param1: key2 CP1: type: tosca.nodes.nfv.CP.Tacker properties: management: true order: 0 anti_spoofing_protection: false requirements: - virtualLink: node: VL1 - virtualBinding: node: VDU1 VL1: type: tosca.nodes.nfv.VL properties: network_name: net_mgmt vendor: Tacker .. note:: You can find several samples of tosca template for VNFD at [3]_. #. Create a sample VNFD .. code-block:: console $ openstack vnf descriptor create --vnfd-file sample-vnfd.yaml samplevnfd #. Create a VNF .. code-block:: console $ openstack vnf create --vnfd-name samplevnfd samplevnf #. Some basic Tacker commands You can find each of VIM, VNFD and VNF created in previous steps by using ``list`` subcommand. .. code-block:: console $ openstack vim list $ openstack vnf descriptor list $ openstack vnf list If you inspect attributes of the isntances, use ``show`` subcommand with name or ID. For example, you can inspect the VNF named as ``samplevnf`` as below. .. code-block:: console $ openstack vnf show samplevnf References ---------- ..
