Notes:

OSC Project roundup

NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

SMO (@Mahesh Jethanandani)

  • Upcoming contribution on App LCM in Cherry

  • O1 Yang file test & validation function being added to gerrit. (Please review)

    • See postman scripts for manipulating fronthaul nodes (admin state)

SIM (@Alex Stancu )

  • E2 interface test/sim data being added to a new repo on OSC (useful for xapps for traffic steering)

  • O1 SIM has also been updated

  • Working on Jenkins jobs for getting all running

OAM (@Martin Skorupski )

ONAP - OSC

  • @Swaminathan S Discussed Use cases last week - see

    • @Michela Bevilacqua [Ericsson] provided some updates - added directly in minutes in   ONAP 2020-11-04 Meeting notes (ONAP/O-RAN-SC/SMO - Meeting & (See 2020-11-04 Meeting notes - Joint OAM / NONRTRIC / SIM / SMO SCRUM meeting)

      • 5G NRM was not a use case in Guilin. Plans for H release?

      • @Swaminathan S will check again these use cases & which carry over to Honolulu. Good to focus on the use cases that are directly relevant

    • @Martin Skorupski @Swaminathan S Suggest a separate page for tracking

    • @Swaminathan S CPS interface is currently XPath based & tricky to build these queries. Need an intermediate layer to do this. @Claudio Coletti [DTAG] Working on this abstraction layer. @Martin Skorupski Will likely be tricky to do this abstraction layer might need some domain knowledge (e.g. ID formats etc). Suggest a use case driven adoption going forward.

    • @Swaminathan S Slicing use case: Suggest anyone who's interested in slicing in ONAP attend ONAP Slicing usecase call. @Martin Skorupski Likely that slicing needs to be better defined - use case driven.  But not much slicing in OSC as yet.

    • @Swaminathan S Where there is overlap with use cases suggest bring this to ONAP Requirements Sub committee too. @Michela Bevilacqua [Ericsson] might be able to help here?

App Packaging in ONAP @Zu Qiang & @Michela Bevilacqua [Ericsson]

  • (Started at approx 00:34 in recording)

  • Presentation on xNF onboarding in ONAP

    • Discussed VNF/PNF packaging formats etc.

    • Discussion on secured vs unsecured packages - depending on .csar vs .zip versions.

      • Issue might arise with partial signature e.g. if part of a package is not valid.

      • @Kamel Idir Will a format different from ONAP be used? @Mahesh Jethanandani Will follow Sol004.

      • @Zu Qiang Clarified the difference between validation at onboarding time vs deployment time

    • @Michela Bevilacqua [Ericsson] Will a manifest be used for OSC package format  .. @Mahesh Jethanandani Yes.

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Hopefully there will be some alignment between formats and packaging for apps and CNFs

    • @Michela Bevilacqua [Ericsson] @Kamel Idir Should be ok if ETSI format is followed

Q&A

  • O-DU O1 Model: @Vidhu (Deactivated) Working on - trying to bring in some changes: Request @Martin Skorupski & @Former user (Deleted) to review.

    • @Vidhu (Deactivated) Also planning to add IP+Port etc. Will update the relevant JIRA ticket soon.
