VNF Lifecycle Management

This document describes how to manage VNF Lifecycle with CLI in Tacker.

Prerequisites

The following packages should be installed:

  • tacker

  • python-tackerclient

A default VIM should be registered according to VIM Management.

CLI Reference for VNF Lifecycle Management

Note

Commands call version 1 VNF LCM APIs by default. You can call the specific version of VNF LCM APIs by using the option --os-tacker-api-version. Commands with --os-tacker-api-version 2 call version 2 VNF LCM APIs.

Note

In Bobcat release, version 2 VNF LCM APIs of Change External VNF Connectivity only support VNF, not CNF.

Note

Change Current VNF Package only support version 2 VNF LCM APIs. In Bobcat release, it only support RollingUpdate upgrade type, BlueGreen will be supported in future releases.

1. Create VNF Identifier

The VNFD_ID should be replaced with the VNFD ID in VNF Package. In the following sample, b1bb0ce7-ebca-4fa7-95ed-4840d70a1177 is used.

$ openstack vnflcm create VNFD_ID
