Orchestrating MEAs with attached Volumes¶

To support persistent volumes to MEA, TOSCA MEC profile supports new type of nodes. Apmec has now feature of parsing of those new nodes and creation of cinder volumes which are attached to the VDUs.

Prerequisites¶

To have persistent volume support to VDUs, we must enable cinder service in addition to the other services that needed by Apmec.

MEAD Changes¶

There are two steps to have volume attached to VDU:

Create volume
Attach Volume to VDU

Create Volume¶

To add volume, we need to add the below node to the MEAD:

VB1:
  type: tosca.nodes.BlockStorage.Apmec
  properties:
    size: 1 GB

Attach volume to VDU¶

Next attach the created volume to VDU as below:

CB1:
  type: tosca.nodes.BlockStorageAttachment
  properties:
    location: /dev/vdb
    requirements:
      - virtualBinding:
          node: VDU1
      - virtualAttachment:
          node: VB1

With these additions, the new MEAD looks like below:

tosca_definitions_version: tosca_simple_profile_for_mec_1_0_0

          - virtualAttachment:
              node: VB1

    VL1:
      type: tosca.nodes.mec.VL
