Orchestrating VNFs with attached Volumes
To support persistent volumes to VNF, TOSCA NFV profile supports new type of nodes. Tacker has now feature of parsing of those new nodes and creation of cinder volumes which are attached to the VDUs.
Prerequisites
To have persistent volume support to VDUs, we must enable cinder service in addition to the other services that needed by Tacker.
VNFD Changes
There are two steps to have volume attached to VDU:
- Create volume
- Attach Volume to VDU
Create Volume
To add volume, we need to add the below node to the VNFD:
VB1:
type: tosca.nodes.BlockStorage.Tacker
properties:
size: 1 GB
Attach volume to VDU
Next attach the created volume to VDU as below:
CB1:
type: tosca.nodes.BlockStorageAttachment
properties:
location: /dev/vdb
requirements:
- virtualBinding:
node: VDU1
- virtualAttachment:
node: VB1
With these additions, the new VNFD looks like below:
