* **Requirements Removed:** 63


Configuration Management > Ansible Standards and Capabilities > xNF Configuration via Ansible Requirements > Ansible Client Requirements
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Requirements Added
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-24482`

    The xNF **MUST** provide Ansible playbooks that are designed to run using
    an inventory hosts file in a supported format; with site group that shall
    be used to add site specific configurations to the target xNF VM(s) as
    needed.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-45197`

    The xNF **MUST** define the "from=" clause to provide the list of IP
    addresses of the Ansible Servers in the Cluster, separated by coma, to
    restrict use of the SSH key pair to elements that are part of the Ansible
    Cluster owner of the issued and assigned mechanized user ID.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-67124`

    The xNF **MUST** provide Ansible playbooks that are designed to run using
    an inventory hosts file in a supported format; with group names matching
    VNFC 3-character string adding "vip" for groups with virtual IP addresses
    shared by multiple VMs as seen in examples provided in Appendix.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-73459`

    The xNF **MUST** provide the ability to include a "from=" clause in SSH
    public keys associated with mechanized user IDs created for an Ansible
    Server cluster to use for xNF VM authentication.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-94567`

    The xNF **MUST** provide Ansible playbooks that are designed to run using
    an inventory hosts file in a supported format with only IP addresses or
    IP addresses and VM/xNF names.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-97345`

    The xNF **MUST** permit authentication, using root account, only right
    after instantiation and until post-instantiation configuration is
    completed.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-97451`

    The xNF **MUST** provide the ability to remove root access once
    post-instantiation configuration (Configure) is completed.
    

Requirements Changed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-32217`

    The xNF **MUST** have routable management IP addresses or FQDNs that
    are reachable via the Ansible Server for the endpoints (VMs) of a
    xNF that playbooks will target. ONAP will initiate requests to the
    Ansible Server for invocation of playbooks against these end
    points [#7.3.3]_.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-91745`

    The xNF **MUST** update the Ansible Server and other entities
    storing and using the SSH keys for authentication when the SSH
    keys used by Ansible are regenerated/updated.

    **Note**: Ansible Server itself may be used to upload new SSH public
    keys onto supported xNFs.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-82018`

    The xNF **MUST** load the Ansible Server SSH public key onto xNF
    VM(s) /root/.ssh/authorized_keys as part of instantiation. Alternative,
    is for Ansible Server SSH public key to be loaded onto xNF VM(s) under
    /home/<Mechanized user ID>/.ssh/authorized_keys as part of instantiation,
    when a Mechanized user ID is created during instantiation, and Configure
    and all playbooks are designed to use a mechanized user ID only for
    authentication (never using root authentication during Configure playbook
    run). This will allow the Ansible Server to authenticate to perform
    post-instantiation configuration without manual intervention and without
    requiring specific xNF login IDs and passwords.

    *CAUTION*: For xNFs configured using Ansible, to eliminate the need
    for manual steps, post-instantiation and pre-configuration, to
    upload of SSH public keys, SSH public keys loaded during (heat)
    instantiation shall be preserved and not removed by (heat) embedded
    (userdata) scripts.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-35401`

    The xNF **MUST** support SSH and allow SSH access by the
    Ansible server to the endpoint VM(s) and comply with the Network
    Cloud Service Provider guidelines for authentication and access.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-92866`

    The xNF **MUST** include as part of post-instantiation configuration
    done by Ansible Playbooks the removal/update of the SSH public key from
    /root/.ssh/authorized_keys, and update of SSH keys loaded through
    instantiation to support Ansible. This may include creating Mechanized user
    ID(s) used by the Ansible Server(s) on VNF VM(s) and uploading and
    installing new SSH keys used by the mechanized use ID(s).
    

Configuration Management > Ansible Standards and Capabilities > xNF Configuration via Ansible Requirements > Ansible Playbook Requirements
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Requirements Added
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-24189`

    The xNF provider **MUST** deliver a new set of playbooks that includes
    all updated and unchanged playbooks for any new revision to an existing
    set of playbooks.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-49751`

    The xNF **MUST** support Ansible playbooks that are compatible with
    Ansible version 2.6 or later.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-49911`

    The xNF provider **MUST** assign a new point release to the updated
    playbook set. The functionality of a new playbook set must be tested before
    it is deployed to the production.
    

Requirements Changed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-48698`

    The xNF **MUST** utilize information from key value pairs that will be
    provided by the Ansible Server as "extra-vars" during invocation to
    execute the desired xNF action. The "extra-vars" attribute-value pairs
    are passed to the Ansible Server by an APPC/SDN-C as part of the
    Rest API request. If the playbook requires files, they must also be
    supplied using the methodology detailed in the Ansible Server API, unless
    they are bundled with playbooks, example, generic templates. Any files
    containing instance specific info (attribute-value pairs), not obtainable
    from any ONAP inventory databases or other sources, referenced and used an
    input by playbooks, shall be provisioned (and distributed) in advance of
    use, e.g., xNF instantiation. Recommendation is to avoid these instance
    specific, manually created in advance of instantiation, files.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-43353`

    The xNF **MUST** return control from Ansible Playbooks only after all
    tasks performed by playbook are fully complete, signaling that the
    playbook completed all tasks. When starting services, return control
    only after all services are up. This is critical for workflows where
    the next steps are dependent on prior tasks being fully completed.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-51442`

    The xNF **SHOULD** use playbooks that are designed to
    automatically 'rollback' to the original state in case of any errors
    for actions that change state of the xNF (e.g., configure).

    **Note**: In case rollback at the playbook level is not supported or
    possible, the xNF provider shall provide alternative rollback
    mechanism (e.g., for a small xNF the rollback mechanism may rely
    on workflow to terminate and re-instantiate VNF VMs and then re-run
    playbook(s)). Backing up updated files is also recommended to support
    rollback when soft rollback is feasible.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-50252`

    The xNF **MUST** write to a response file in JSON format that will be
    retrieved and made available by the Ansible Server if, as part of a xNF
    action (e.g., audit), a playbook is required to return any xNF
    information/response. The text files must be written in the main playbook
    home directory, in JSON format. The JSON file must be created for the xNF
    with the name '<xNF name>_results.txt'. All playbook output results, for
    all xNF VMs, to be provided as a response to the request, must be written
    to this response file.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-49396`

    The xNF **MUST** support each APPC/SDN-C xNF action
    by invocation of **one** playbook [#7.3.4]_. The playbook will be responsible
    for executing all necessary tasks (as well as calling other playbooks)
    to complete the request.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-02651`

    The xNF **SHOULD** use available backup capabilities to save a
    copy of configuration files before implementing changes to support
    operations such as backing out of software upgrades, configuration
    changes or other work as this will help backing out of configuration
    changes when needed.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-58301`

    The xNF **SHOULD NOT** use playbooks that make requests to
    Cloud resources e.g. Openstack (nova, neutron, glance, heat, etc.);
    therefore, there is no use for Cloud specific variables like Openstack
    UUIDs in Ansible Playbook related artifacts.

    **Rationale**: Flows that require interactions with Cloud services e.g.
    Openstack shall rely on workflows run by an Orchestrator
    (Change Management) or other capability (such as a control loop or
    Operations GUI) outside Ansible Server which can be executed by a
    APPC/SDN-C. There are policies, as part of Control Loop
    models, that send remediation action requests to an APPC/SDN-C; these
    are triggered as a response to an event or correlated events published
    to Event Bus.
    

Configuration Management > Chef Standards and Capabilities > xNF Configuration via Chef Requirements > Chef Roles/Requirements
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Requirements Changed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-26567`

    The xNF Package **MUST** include a run list of
    roles/cookbooks/recipes, for each supported xNF action, that will
    perform the desired xNF action in its entirety as specified by ONAP
    (see Section 7.c, APPC/SDN-C APIs and Behavior, for list of xNF
    actions and requirements), when triggered by a chef-client run list
    in JSON file.

    :need:`R-46527`

    A VNFD is a deployment template which describes a VNF in terms of
    deployment and operational behavior requirements. It contains
    virtualized resources (nodes) requirements as well as connectivity
    and interfaces requirements and **MUST** comply with info elements
    specified in ETSI GS NFV-IFA 011. The main parts of the VNFD are
    the following:

      - VNF topology: it is modeled in a cloud agnostic way using virtualized
        containers and their connectivity. Virtual Deployment Units (VDU)
        describe the capabilities of the virtualized containers, such as
        virtual CPU, RAM, disks; their connectivity is modeled with VDU
        Connection Point Descriptors (VduCpd), Virtual Link Descriptors
        (VnfVld) and VNF External Connection Point Descriptors
        (VnfExternalCpd);

      - VNF deployment aspects: they are described in one or more
        deployment flavours, including configurable parameters, instantiation
        levels, placement constraints (affinity / antiaffinity), minimum and
        maximum VDU instance numbers. Horizontal scaling is modeled with
        scaling aspects and the respective scaling levels in the deployment
        flavours;

    **Note**: The deployment aspects (deployment flavour etc.) are postponed
    for future ONAP releases.

      - VNF lifecycle management (LCM) operations: describes the LCM operations

    TOSCA-Metadata directory (CSAR Option 1) or without TOSCA-Metadata
    directory (CSAR Option 2) as specified in ETSI GS NFV-SOL004. On-boarding
    entity (ONAP SDC) must support both options.

    **Note:** SDC supports only the CSAR Option 1 in Casablanca. The Option 2
    will be considered in future ONAP releases,
    

PNF Plug and Play > PNF Plug and Play
-------------------------------------


Requirements Added
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-01427`

    The PNF **MUST** support the provisioning of security and authentication
    parameters (HTTP username and password) in order to be able to authenticate
    with DCAE (in ONAP).

    Note: In R3, a username and password are used with the DCAE VES Event
    Listener which are used for HTTP Basic Authentication.

    Note: The configuration management and provisioning software are specific
    to a vendor architecture.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-106240`

    The following VES Events **MUST** be supported by the PNF: pnfRegistration
    VES Event, HVol VES Event, and Fault VES Event. These are onboarded via
    he SDC Design Studio.

    Note: these VES Events are emitted from the PNF to support PNF Plug and
    Play, High Volume Measurements, and Fault events respectively.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-17624`

    The PNF **MAY** support the optional parameters for Service
    Configuration Parameters.

    Note: These are detailed in the Stage 5 PnP

    Note: These parameters are optional, and not all PNFs will support any
    or all of these parameters, it is up to the vendor and service provider
    to ascertain which ones are supported up to an including all of the ones
    that have been defined. Note: It is expected that there will be a growing
    list of supported configuration parameters in future releases of ONAP.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-256347`

    The PNF **MUST** support the Ansible protocol for a Service Configuration
    message exchange between the PNF and PNF Controller (in ONAP).

    Note: this exchange may be either Ansible, Chef, or NetConf depending on
    the PNF. Note: The PNF Controller may be VF-C, APP-C or SDN-C based on the
    PNF and PNF domain. Note: for R3 (Casablanca) only Ansible is supported.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-258352`

    The PNF **MUST** support & accept the provisioning of an ONAP contact IP
    address (in IPv4 or IPv6 format).

    Note: For example, it a possibility is that an external EMS would configure
    & provision the ONAP contact IP address to the PNF (in either IPv4 or
    IPv6 format). For the PNF Plug and Play Use Case, this IP address is the
    service provider's "point of entry" to the DCAE VES Listener.

    Note: different service provider's network architecture may also require
    special setup to allow an external PNF to contact the ONAP installation.
    For example, in the AT&T network, a maintenance tunnel is used to access
    ONAP.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-284934`

    If the PNF encounters an error authenticating, reaching the ONAP DCAE VES
    Event listener or recieves an error response from sending the pnfRegistration
    VES Event, it **MAY** log the error, and notify the operator.

    Note: the design of how errors are logged, retrieved and reported
    will be a vendor-specific architecture. Reporting faults and errors
    is also a vendor specific design. It is expected that the PNF shall
    have a means to log an error and notify a user when a fault condition
    occurs in trying to contact ONAP, authenticate or send a pnfRegistration
    event.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-378131`

    (Error Case) - If an error is encountered by the PNF during a
    Service Configuration exchange with ONAP, the PNF **MAY** log the
    error and notify an operator.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-56718`

    The PNF Vendor **MAY** provide software version(s) to be supported by PNF
    for SDC Design Studio PNF Model. This is set in the PNF Model property
    software_versions.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-579051`

    The PNF **MAY** support a HTTP connection to the DCAE VES Event Listener.

    Note: HTTP is allowed but not recommended.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-638216`

    (Error Case) - The PNF **MUST** support a configurable timer to stop the
    periodicity sending of the pnfRegistration VES event. If this timer expires
    during a Service Configuration exchange between the PNF and ONAP, it
    MAY log a time-out error and notify an operator.

    Note: It is expected that each vendor will enforce and define a PNF
    service configuration timeout period. This is because the PNF cannot
    wait indefinitely as there may also be a technician on-site trying to
    complete installation & commissioning. The management of the VES event
    exchange is also a requirement on the PNF to be developed by the PNF
    vendor.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-686466`

    The PNF **MUST** support sending a pnfRegistration VES event.
    

.. container:: note

    When the PNF receives a Service configuration from ONAP, the PNF **MUST**
    cease sending the pnfRegistration VES Event.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-763774`

    The PNF **MUST** support a HTTPS connection to the DCAE VES Event
    Listener.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-793716`

    The PNF **MUST** have "ONAP Aware" software which is capable of performing
    PNF PnP registration with ONAP. The "ONAP Aware" software is capable of
    performing the PNF PnP Registration with ONAP MUST either be loaded
    separately or integrated into the PNF software upon physical delivery
    and installation of the PNF.

    Note: It is up to the specific vendor to design the software management
    functions.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-809261`

    The PNF **MUST** use a IP address to contact ONAP.

    Note: it is expected that an ONAP operator can ascertain the ONAP IP
    address or the security gateway to reach ONAP on the VID or ONAP portal
    GUI.

    Note: The ONAP contact IP address has been previously configured and
    provisioned prior to this step.

    Note: The ONAP IP address could be provisioned or resolved through
    FQDN & DNS.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-894004`

    When the PNF sets up a HTTP or HTTPS connection, it **MUST** provide a
    username and password to the DCAE VES Collector for HTTP Basic
    Authentication.

    Note: HTTP Basic Authentication has 4 steps: Request, Authenticate,
    Authorization with Username/Password Credentials, and Authentication Status
    as per RFC7617 and RFC 2617.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-952314`

    If the PNF set up a TLS connection and mutual (two-way) authentication is
    being used, then the PNF **MUST** provide its own X.509v3 Certificate to
    the DCAE VES Collector for authentication.

    Note: This allows TLS authentication by DCAE VES Collector.

    Note: The PNF got its X.509 certificate through Enrollment with an
    operator certificate authority or a X.509 vendor certificate from the
    vendor factory CA.

    Note: In R3 three authentication options are supported:

    (1) HTTP with Username & Password and no TLS.

    (2) HTTP with Username & Password & TLS with two-way certificate
        authentication.

    (3) HTTP with Username & Password & TLS with server-side
        certificate authentication.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-980039`

    The PNF **MUST** send the pnfRegistration VES event periodically.
    

.. container:: note

    :need:`R-981585`

    The pnfRegistration VES event periodicity **MUST** be configurable.

    Note: The PNF uses the service configuration request as a semaphore to
    stop sending the pnfRegistration sent. See the requirement PNP-5360
    requirement.
