Recording

Notes:

Housekeeping:

  • Reminder from previous weeks:

  • O-RAN has declared that recording are kept for 2 weeks only. Does this apply to us? 

    • Is this a requirement, a privacy issue or a cost issue?

    • Not sure - the recording storage quota that we use is currently full - so we may need to delete old cloud recording?

    • All past recording are also available as files uploaded to the wiki pages - May be a  storage issue later, but no plans to delete as yet.

OSC Project roundup:

NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

  • Working hard on integration & documentation tasks now that OSC M4 date has passed.

    • ReadTheDocs Documentation esp. is very out of date!

  • ONAP A1 Policy Functions - need to wrap M1 tickets for ONAP I.

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) @Martin Skorupski @Alex Stancu, Felix & Mahesh  - Hope we can catch up to figure out our way through the e2e integration tasks for OSC D release

    • Will discuss initially at RSAC call tomorrow (20 May)

SIM (@Alex Stancu)

  • Bug fix for VES for O-DU & O-RU simulators - new version available

OAM (@Martin Skorupski)

  • Working on docker compose for SMO test environments 

  • Has several docker-compose files for different deployments etc

O-DU (@Hariom Gupta (Deactivated))

  • Commit ready for review/merge.

CM Notifications in ONAP

  • Marcin Wilk: Is anyone in SDNR/CCSDK/OSC working on CM Notifications?

    • @Martin Skorupski lots of work on VES - esp faults & netconf call home

    • Damien from DCAE project also in Guilin worked on newer functions in VES to support this & collction to DMaaP

      • Marcin has verified this worked

    • NK Shankar: Some work ongoing for this in the ONAP OOF SON use case (Calls Friday 9:?? EST for more info)

      • For OOF SON use case - CM notifications for CPS - part of CCSDK - used in SDNR

      • Events come from RANSIM simulator

      • @Sandeep Shah Working on this.  JIRA: https://jira.onap.org/browse/CCSDK-3296

      • Still figuring out how exactly to do this with VES etc - but work is ongoing.

Helm charts / Docker Compose etc

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) working on Docker-compose & helm charts for OSC D +

  • Want to have BOTH docker-compose and helm charts for deploying functions. @Martin Skorupski Good idea - means dev & release versions can evolve independently & lots of different configurations etc.

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Will maintain both ... and each function in nonrtric have their own docker images - and are pretty standalone - so are easiy to deploy individually or in different combinations.

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Would like to maintain multiple flavours of helm charts for nonrtric in nonrtric repo, and then reuse in IT/DEP.

    • But we need to be very careful that we actually manage to have a test-environment integrated deployment at release times.

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Reminded the OSC TOC today that it was previously discussed adding PTLs as committer in the IT/DEP repo - to help Felix & avoid bottleneck. Will hopefully happen soon in coming days.

 

How do we refer to or position or differentiate between SDNC / SDNR / NONRTRIC / SMO etc

  • Question by NK Shankar

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) We don't - it depends on your perspective.

    • OSC:   

      • OAM, NONRTRIC and SMO are all different projects in OSC only

        • OAM mostly reuses software from ONAP - main focus OAM & O1 - software comes from DMaaP, DCAE CCSDK/SDNR in ONAP.

        • NONRTRIC Has multiple functions (see Release D - DRAFT) - only A1 Policy functions are taken from ONAP CCSDK - all rest are developed in OSC.

          • Focus on functions for A1 Policies, A1 Enrichment, R1, RApps. Plus control panel & A1 Simulator

        • SMO project currently  develops new functions for OAM - not from ONAP

    • ONAP

      • There is no concept of SMO or NONRTRIC in ONAP - these are OSC concepts

      • Lots of functions in ONAP that can be useful for an SMO (especially in CCSDK for O1 & A1 Policies)

      • Ref also SON & Slicing use cases in ONAP that touch on ORAN related concepts.

    • It is hoped that functions can be mixed & matched as a need arises - and hopefully we can stay aligned & support resue - which is one of the main focus of this meeting series!

    • NK Shankar - looking forward to use cases & reusing concepts - not sure yet how/where work will be homed if in ONAP - @Martin Skorupski Lets use this meeting series to get such discussions straight!

    • @William DIEGO - Introduced - As an OSC TOC member will help liaise between OSC & ONAP - from OSC

    • @Timo Perala (Nokia) @Chaker Al-Hakim will help out from ONAP side (TBC as replacement for @Swaminathan S)
