Nullpointerexception using the latest release

[jolly2]

Trying to integrate openbaton with openstack VIM. Using the recently release openbaton. Trying to test iperf. I was able to upload and deploy the iperf client and server from openbaton. Both of them run successfully. After executing the install script, it goes through GRANT and ALLOCATE events successfully. After that it errors out with nullpointer exception. It looks like it is expecting some configurationparameter provides. That is empty in NSD record. Is there anything that needs to be set in the config?

hi @jolly2 it would be helpful if you could provide the initial NSD (remove all scripts if you don't want to show them here), and in particular the logs from the orchestrator including the error message.

One usual problem is that the rabbitmq is not set correctly. Please refer to the openbaton documentation here: http://openbaton.github.io/documentation/nfvo-configuration/

In particular:

1) By default RabbitMQ is installed on the host of the NFVO. Be aware of the fact that if you want your VNFM to be executed on a different host, you will need RabbitMQ to be reachable also from the outside. So when you want to deploy a VNF (EMS) in a VM which runs on a different host than the NFVO, you will need to configure the rabbitmq endpoint (nfvo.rabbit.brokerIp) with the real IP of the NFVO host (instead of localhost).

Thanks for the reply. In the setup, RabbitMq is reachable from from a VM (VNF VM) and ems also successfully reach rabbitmq and starts inside the VM without any problem. The problem is, after launching, openbaton does not seem to wait till ems is downloaded into VM and starts running (mine is a little slow connection..takes about 5 mins for a VM to start and download ems and run it) and goes to the final state of ERROR (no ems for hostname) and does not make an effort to try again and I did not see any option to continue from Granted state. But, I see only start/stop, which does not help without it going through Instatitate state (at which point it should install iperf and screen). Resume button does not seem to work. It throws java exception error (i am not sure what resume does). Lifecycle Event Id event lifecycle events 04874e1f-b3cd-486e-9594-8cca66f35922 ALLOCATE

Thanks!

Please modify the timeout value for waiting more time for EMS: https://github.com/openbaton/generic-vnfm/blob/master/src/main/resources/application.properties#L29

In case you use the source code and you don't have an external configuration file (located at: /opt/openbaton) you will need to re-compile the project in order to apply this change.

Increasing the timeout period worked. Thanks !
