The vf_module_index parameter indicates which instance of the module is being deployed into the VNF. This parameter may be used in cases where multiple instances of the same incremental module may be instantiated for scaling purposes. The index can be used in the Heat Orchestration Template for indexing into a pseudo-constant array parameter when unique values are required for each module instance, e.g., for fixed private IP addresses on VM types. The vf_module_index will start at 0 for the first instance of a module type. Subsequent instances of the same module type will receive the lowest unused index. This means that indexes will be reused if a module is deleted and re-added. As an example, if three copies of a module are deployed with vf_module_index values of 0, 1, and 2 then subsequently the second one is deleted (index 1), and then re-added, index 1 will be reused. *Example* In this example, the {vm-type} has been defined as oam_vm to represent an OAM VM. An incremental heat module is used to deploy the OAM VM. The OAM VM attaches to an internal control network which has a {network-role} of ctrl. A maximum of four OAM VMs can be deployed. The environment file contains the four IP addresses that each successive OAM VM will be assigned. The vf_module_index is used as the index to determine the IP assignment.
