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))

  • As per last week:

    • Working hard on integration & documentation tasks now for OSC D release

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) @Martin Skorupski @Alex Stancu - Will have a quick chat about double-checking integration environment. Looks good!

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Brief feedback of what happened at OSC TOC call this week:  https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/TOC/#ORANSCTechnicalOversightCommittee(TOC)-20210616 (Minutes not yet updated at time of writing)

    • Should soon have access to the it/dep

    • Need to push on with D Release task

    • Release E planning will start at RSAC tomorrow.

SIM (@Alex Stancu)

OAM (@Martin Skorupski)

O-DU (@Hariom Gupta (Deactivated))

  • OSC Lab & local testing

    • Is integration environment IPv6 only? Working on a small issue with IPv6 now.

  • Issue with checking/waiting of SMO is up & running when O-DU comes up (ves:pnfRegistration event may be ignored, or should be sent in a loop? SIM just once? Multiple events is no harm.)

    • May need to a timed loop to keep checking (e.g. every minute?). Not a great solution but prob OK for the Release D use case.

    • In OSC lab the SMO will already be running.

    • If NetConf client is up before O-DU it will keep trying until Netconf port is open.

      • (Best to only open the port when the O-DU is ready? Best to send ves:pnfRegistration event only when O-DU is up?)

    • Should discuss in RSAC.

    • ... may need to do some more testing of these edge cases ....

  • Ongoing discussion over email about how OTF starts (configures? ) the O-DU high.

ONAP SMO deployment options (Christophe Closset (AT&T) & @Amar Kapadia (AARNA))

  • REF: Last week Proposal for an ONAP deployment specific for an ORAN SMO

    • Christophe not available to join this week - Hopefully we can discuss a little more next week.

    • Ref: https://jira.onap.org/browse/REQ-887

    • (After the call ended: Martial: Further discussions for this ONAP PoC could happen at this call? Will be a few weeks before this proposal is presented to ONAP Arch. & Req committees etc, then ONAP TSC?)
