Need Riftware 6.1 environment built

ljilluzzi commented 6 years ago

Need reference template from Riftware; will help reduce investigation time. Possible license issue.

Updates

  1. Generated a MultiVDU VNFD and NSD using Riftware UI and deployed it succesfully in VIO. This was done to understand schema and differences with OSM.
  2. Discussed some issues with expert from Riftware.
  3. Generated a MultiVDU VNFD and NSD from backend scripts bypasing the UI. And tested deployment. This is to derive minimal VNFD and NSD for MultiVDU Riftware.

Items to be investigated/tested

  1. Find out Supported NIC types for Riftware + VIO. Test deployment with different nic types. Tested NIC types will be incorporated in the code.
  2. Understand EPA params support in Riftware. And try out deployment with common EPA params that VNF Onboarding tool support across orchestrators. Reference template tested had only one EPA Param.
  3. Test deployment with cloud_init input. For this would require an image with cloud_init support.
  4. Test scenario where VNFD and NSD utilises existing network in the VIM. Reference blueprint tested had all the newly created network.

Update: End to End changes from UI to backend are implemented. Could generate multivdu blueprint package for Riftware 6.1 from VNF Onboarding tool . Also able to onboard blueprint packages to Riftware 6.1. Testing is in progress.

Supported NICS: VMXNET3 VIRTIO E1000 E1000E SRIOV RTL8139 - Not tested by RIFT.ware PCNET - Not tested by RIFT.ware

ljilluzzi commented 6 years ago

Check with Kishor; then update comments or close (by 11/13). Where is PCI passthrough? Remove E1000E

amolbjadhav commented 6 years ago

RIFTware 6.1 supports following 4 nic types: VMXNET3 VIRTIO E1000 SRIOV

We have added and tested these NIC types. Hence closing the issue
