Getting Started with v2 Tacker

Summary

This lecture enables you to:

  • create & delete a sample VNF on the OpenStack with Tacker v2 API

Following two types of VNF deployment supported by Tacker are introduced in this lecture.

“VNF Deployment with LCM Operation User Data” is optional. The part will be clarified with the notation [This is UserData specific part].

The following figure shows a sample VNF used in this lecture.

../../../_images/sample-vnf.svg

Note

VIM config, a VNF package, and instantiation parameters files used in this tutorial are placed at the repository.

Note

You can see logs of Tacker with this command:

$ sudo journalctl -u devstack@tacker.service
$ sudo journalctl -u devstack@tacker-conductor.service

Prerequisites

The following packages should be installed:

  • tacker

  • python-tackerclient

Configuration

Load credentials for client operations

Before any Tacker commands can be run, your credentials need to be sourced.

Note

See Create OpenStack client environment scripts for details. In this document, the settings are as follows:

OS_REGION_NAME=RegionOne
OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_ID=default
OS_CACERT=
OS_AUTH_URL=http://192.168.56.10/identity
OS_TENANT_NAME=nfv
OS_USER_DOMAIN_ID=default
OS_USERNAME=nfv_user
OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=3
OS_AUTH_TYPE=password
OS_PROJECT_NAME=nfv
OS_PASSWORD=devstack
OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3

You can confirm that Tacker is available by checking this command works without error:

$ openstack vim list

Note

See Command-Line Interface Reference to find all the available commands.

Register VIM

  1. Prepare VIM configuration file:

    You can use a setup script for generating VIM configuration or edit it from scratch as described in Configuration File for Registering VIM. This script finds parameters for the configuration, such as user name or password, from your environment variables. Here is an example of generating OpenStack VIM configuration as vim_config.yaml. In this document, TACKER_ROOT is the root of tacker’s repository on your server.

    $ bash TACKER_ROOT/tools/gen_vim_config.sh -p nfv --os-user nfv_user \
      --os-disable-cert-verify
    Config for OpenStack VIM 'vim_config.yaml' generated.
    

    There are several options for configuring parameters from command line supported. Refer help with -h for details.

    Note

    See Configuration File for Registering VIM for tool details.

    You can also use a sample configuration file (vim_config.yaml) instead of using the script.

    $ cp TACKER_ROOT/doc/source/user/v2/getting_started/conf/vim_config.yaml ./
    $ vi vim_config.yaml
    
    auth_url: 'http://192.168.56.10/identity'
    username: "nfv_user"
    password: "devstack"
    project_name: "nfv"
    domain_name: "default"
    project_domain_name: "default"
    user_domain_name: "default"
    cert_verify: "False"
    
  2. Register Default VIM:

    Once you setup VIM configuration file, you register default VIM via openstack command with --is-default option.

    $ openstack vim register --config-file ./vim_config.yaml \
      --is-default --fit-width openstack-admin-vim

Create and Upload VNF Package

Prepare VNF Package

  1. Create VNF Package CSAR directories:

    $ mkdir -p ./sample_vnf_package_csar/TOSCA-Metadata \
      ./sample_vnf_package_csar/Definitions \
      ./sample_vnf_package_csar/BaseHOT/simple/nested \
      ./sample_vnf_package_csar/Files
    

    [This is UserData specific part] When using UserData, create the following directories in addition.

    $ mkdir -p ./sample_vnf_package_csar/UserData
    
  2. Create a TOSCA.meta file:

    $ vi ./sample_vnf_package_csar/TOSCA-Metadata/TOSCA.meta
    
    TOSCA-Meta-File-Version: 1.0
    Created-by: Dummy User
    CSAR-Version: 1.1
    Entry-Definitions: Definitions/sample_vnfd_top.yaml
    
  3. Download ETSI definition files:

    You should set ${TOSCA_VERSION} to one of the appropriate TOSCA service template versions (SOL001), e.g., export TOSCA_VERSION=v2.6.1.

    Important

    You should also check if the version of TOSCA service template is supported by tacker. See VNF Descriptor (VNFD) based on ETSI NFV-SOL001 for supported version.

    $ cd ./sample_vnf_package_csar/Definitions
    $ wget https://forge.etsi.org/rep/nfv/SOL001/raw/${TOSCA_VERSION}/etsi_nfv_sol001_common_types.yaml
    $ wget https://forge.etsi.org/rep/nfv/SOL001/raw/${TOSCA_VERSION}/etsi_nfv_sol001_vnfd_types.yaml
    
  4. Create VNFD files:

    • Create sample_vnfd_top.yaml

      $ vi ./sample_vnfd_top.yaml

      Note

      description_id shall be globally unique, i.e., you cannot create multiple VNFDs with the same description_id.

    $ cd ./sample_vnf_package_csar
    $ zip sample_vnf_package_csar.zip \
      -r TOSCA-Metadata/ Definitions/ BaseHOT/ Files/
    

    The contents of the zip file should look something like this.

    $ unzip -Z -1 sample_vnf_package_csar.zip

Create VNF Package

  1. Execute vnfpkgm create:

    Take a note of “VNF Package ID” as it will be used in the next step.

    $ cd -

Create & Instantiate VNF

Create VNF

  1. Find “VNFD ID” to create VNF:

    The “VNFD ID” can be found to be b1bb0ce7-ebca-4fa7-95ed-4840d70a1177 in the example.

    $ openstack vnf package show \
      6e6b7a6d-0ebe-4085-96c2-b34269d837f9 -c 'VNFD ID'
    +---------+--------------------------------------+
    | Field   | Value                                |

    | VNFD ID | b1bb0ce7-ebca-4fa7-95ed-4840d70a1177 |
    +---------+--------------------------------------+
    
  2. Create VNF:

    The “VNFD ID” b1bb0ce7-ebca-4fa7-95ed-4840d70a1177 needs to be replaced with the appropriate one.

Instantiate VNF

  1. Create <param-file>:

    Required parameter:

    • flavourID

    Optional parameters:

    • instantiationLevelId

    • extVirtualLinks

    • extManagedVirtualLinks

    • vimConnectionInfo

    • localizationLanguage

    • additionalParams

    • extensions

    • vnfConfigurableProperties

    Note

    You can skip vimConnectionInfo only when you have the default VIM.

    A sample <param-file> named as sample_request.json with minimal parameter:

    $ vi ./sample_request.json
    
    {
      "flavourId": "simple"
    }
    
    • [This is UserData specific part] When using UserData, use the following parameters instead.

      {
        "flavourId":"simple",
        "additionalParams": {
          "lcm-operation-user-data": "./UserData/userdata_standard.py",
          "lcm-operation-user-data-class": "StandardUserData"
        }
      }
      

      Note

      userdata_standard.py should be replaced with the UserData file name. And StandardUserData should be replaced with the UserData class name.

  2. Instantiate VNF:

    The “ID of vnf instance” and “path to <param-file>” are needed to instantiate vnf.

    $ openstack vnflcm instantiate c98b05c7-bc96-43f8-a688-4d8079ffa3bf \
      ./sample_request.json --os-tacker-api-version 2
    Instantiate request for VNF Instance c98b05c7-bc96-43f8-a688-4d8079ffa3bf has been accepted.
    

    Check the details of the instantiated vnf.
