The entire 5G PNF Plug’n’Play use case is described here: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/5G+-+PNF+Plug+and+Play

In order to develop and test this use case more or less all ONAP components are necessary.

Involved ONAP components:

A&AI, DCAE, DCAE VES Collector, DMaaP, LOG, PNF-Registration-Handler, OOF, SDC, SDN-C, SO

Proposal:

Setup in an integration lab with a full ONAP as almost all components are required. Based on the experience with the OOF-PCI use case shown last week, the effort to reduce or modify the ONAP OOM installation is higher than the advantages.

Note:

The development phase is not part of this Jira, but for compleatness, a development environment is required too:

Setup a dev-environment (docker images and a docker-compose-yaml) with a NetConf client and a Test-VES-collector, so that O-DU and O-RU developers can develop against target interface end-points (NetConf, VES). Here the goal is that O-DU and O-RU developers have full access to NetConf logs (ODL karaf) and VES-logs and can finetune their development servers as needed, even running on a single laptop.

Test completes by testing with a commercially available wireless PNF from a mainstream vendor.

This is a placeholder as this EPIC is expected to become either an OAM epic or a NRTRIC epic. However, we need to baseline the epic for the discussion. Therefore is will reside in the RSAC project until a final project is identified.
